Myles Straw is Dustys favorite...
In 2005, I expected him to be baseball version of Paul Pierce. I get the sentiment, but if he wasn't functional... he shouldn't have been first...
Bagwell in postseason (33 games): .226 AVG/.364 OBP/.321 SLG J. Abreu with Astros (35 games): .225 AVG/.272 OBP/.268 SLG
He wanted a first baseman he could relate with... a washed former MVP that only had an arm for first
Maybe a tombstone on the Athletic will motivate the team.
On the roster just for sentimental reasons, but he shouldn't have been the starting DH.
Back in the 90s, Astros cut their marquee signing in Mitch Williams after 25 innings. Just saying.
Closest sweep ever where Bags had an OPS of... .425 by merit of 2 HBPs and a single

This is even more horrific in hindsight. Thankfully Crane went the Biggio route for GM (with Brown and Biggio going to college together)
I appreciate he didn't sign Trevor Bauer. And that's it.

Chances Dusty attributes the bullpen implosion on Diaz and will never use him to be a late inning offensive replacement ever again...?
I miss your condescension.
I see Abreu's ceiling right now for this season being singles-hitting version of Daryl Ward. Not load managing him (because he isn't running the...
Astros gave him a roster spot. He should be grateful.
Not the NBA where we can throw in Abreu for salary matching....
