    I didnt know Adam worked for the Stros still... I remember he was the first player I like strictly because of his defense.

    I still remember that incredible double play he and Bruntlett turned in Game 4 of the 05 NLCS... AND when Lee bulldozed over his leg in 2007...

    Put your name on it, who's it going to be? I say Alex Jackson, though I'd like Aiken.

    Kinda disappointed it's not Jackson but I don't care as long as Aiken works out.

    It'll be interesting to see the bonus. I'm guessing $5.5MM.

    Aiken and Kolek will be compared for years. Much like Correa/Buxton

    I'd rather they not do that until they reach the majors.
