Any word from training camp?   Message List

Re: [Astros] Any word from training camp?


I agree about Castilla. I could get shit for this, but I think given the
talent and replacement, Castilla is our biggest loss this season. I guess
this is a rebuilding year for the 'Stros. Bagwell and Biggio will probably
be out in a few seasons, while the rooks of today will be settled in, if we
still have them. What ever happened to the gangster Melusky (the reason our
season sucked in 2000), I remember hearing he was on another team.
Cheers.

Ausmus is a King of a catcher. I'm glad we got him back. It seems we always give up talent because the checks get higher when the players get better. Cheers....
