Your Texas Rangers lineup for tonight's game:

1. Ian Kinsler, 2B
2. Elvis Andrus, SS
3. Nelson Cruz, RF
4. Adrian Beltre, 3B
5. A.J. Pierzynski, DH
6. Jeff Baker, LF
7. Mitch Moreland, 1B
8. Geovany Soto, C
9. Craig Gentry, CF

That's right. A.J. Pierzynski (he of the .672 OPS, .297 wOBA, 79 wRC+ versus lefties this season) is the Ranger designated hitter - and No. 5 hitter - against a left-hander starter tonight. The sad thing is, because Jurickson Profar isn't hitting at all, there's probably no better option.
