The only candidate(sp)that could take the current roster to the world series is GOD. If not GOD anybody else is doomed to failure unless they (1) get a quality starter to backup Wandy,Roy is at best a #3 pitcher.He was at one time a #1 but he pulled himself out of so many games I don't trust him anymore to go out and be a stopper which is the definition of a #1 and (2) teach the #2-6 batters how to play fundamental baseball instead of home run derby.The odds are greatly stacked against you (even if you are a Carlos Lee/Berkman/Pence,etc.)hitting a home run as opposed to a single and finally (3) preach hustle on the bases or it's bench time. If Lee hustled to first the way Pence and a few others he would hit into a lot fewer double plays.
