The addition of two quality starting pitchers, one of them a first ballot Hall of Famer, certainly gives one reason to be optimistic. The loss of Wags might not be felt too terribly much if Dotel steps up. I feel that one of the real keys is going to be how well Ensberg does as the full time 3B. He has to build on last year's successes. The rotation is especially exciting; is Roy O. going to be the #4 starter? If so, that's pretty indicative of a strong starting staff. Let's just hope they stay healthy, and none of the front line guys goes into an extended slump. Go 'Stros!!
