We need Carp and Guti and Wells and Jaso to carry their weight.  Ackley/Smoak/Montero are not dragging this lineup into contention by themselves.

I think that's the Big Idea for 2012 M's fans who would like to root for some baseball wins, thank you very much.  You compare Ackley, Smoak, and Montero to the Rangers' best three hitters and you're depressed.  But once you think in terms of the #7 hitter carrying a 99 OPS+ you've got another subject.
