Pick Your Mexico Starting XI Against Honduras

Who do you think Javier Aguirre should send out on Wednesday against los Catrachos? Submit your starting XI and tell fellow readers why.

Mexico Gold Cup 2009 (Mexsport)
Gerardo Torrado is out. Guillermo Franco too. But Mexico has a deep team, and manager Javier Aguirre should not have a problem finding players to fill those holes.

Against Honduras on Wednesday, the Mexican lineup will look different because of their absences. How would you fill those holes? Would you start Miguel Sabah in Franco's spot? Or would you turn to Nery Castillo?

How about the midfield? Torrado has been an indispensable player, but his yellow cards caught up to him. Who is best prepared to fill his spot in the middle of the field?
