The perfect Rangers lineup Bruce Bochy refuses to use

Over the course of the season, teams are obviously going to employ dozens of different lineups according to who's hot, who's injured, speed, power, and who matches up better against certain pitchers.

The Rangers have used more than 40 different lineups so far this season, and there are still 45 games left in the season.

We've penciled in the one lineup that we haven't seen that, metrically, should be manager Bruce Bochy's best option regardless of whether they are facing a right-hander or a left-hander.

1. Josh Smith

This one is a no-brainer and shouldn't be overthought too much.
