Offer a Asdrubal bobble head the same night and you'll sell the game out.

Carmona, Masterson, Talbot and Carrasco for sure, and then any number of guys for that last spot. Or Jeremy Bonderman.

The bullpen might be really good.

If Masterson could somehow figure out how to get lefties out, he'd be a stud.
