Biggio is a gamer, he busts his ass, and he's a stand-up guy, which is why I'll be cheering as loud as anyone when he gets 3000. But he's a...
If only one of you - or, I dunno, both? - would bother contributing to this site, you could edit those posts! ;)
The fact that we can point to so many problem areas says to me that this club, as presently constituted, doesn't have it. And the fact that...
I'm all for piling on, believe me. But our current OF is Lee in left, Pence in center, Berkman in right. That's really an awesome OF situation...
Take a basically .500 ballclub last season. Subtract 2 very talented pitchers (Clemens and Pettite) and have the 2 good offensive additions (Lee...
Lance was a 1 man offense last year. He had 136 RBI, the next highest guy was 62. He hit 45 homers, the next highest total was 23. Nobody else...
Think you missed the part in the initial post about low turnovers. V-Span is the T-Mac of the TO.
Very true. But like DD alluded to, we're not exactly faced with alot of situations with runner on 3rd, less than 2 outs and Berkman at the plate,...
If we had a productive right fielder (generally a prime offensive position), you could drop him to 7th. But, unfortunately, the Scott/Lane...
Look at his splits. Ensberg has had about half his ABs this season hitting 2nd, and he's struggled in that spot (new to him). But hitting #5/#6,...
It's interesting to me how many of the people who are so quick to jump on Ensberg are the same people who defend Everett/Ausmus. Ensberg's got a...
The MLB offseason is very, very short. The world series runs until the very end of October, and players start reporting for spring training in...
You misread my initial post. I said age 30 was 'probably' Ozzie's breakout season not because I hadn't looked up the stats, but because you could...
I can buy that. Same argument can be made for guys like Jason Lane and Ensberg, fwiw. Everett could get better at the plate, but he's equally...
Oh please, you make a point to criticize me on my listing of Ozzie's age, pointing out that I was (supposedly) a year off, and tell me I should...
You could be an ass... or you could get your facts straight, at least when you are calling me out for getting mine wrong. Ozzie's .257/.684...
All the way from "member on crack" to "contributor to astros.com"! Congrats man, couldn't have happened to a cooler guy.
AE's actually gotten lots of at bats in his career. He's been a regular for 4 seasons now. He's not "inexperienced". And Ozzie's 'breakout'...
We've seen Lidge perform in the closer's role last season and he was terrible. He's doing well this year as a middle innings guy. Why would you...
Except, of course, for giving him a chance at his natural position, 2B. You're comparing the offensive production from a natural middle infielder...
