Heu guys,
All this talk about the position players is good but with the regulars
healthy we know the stros will pack plenty of offense. What I would like to
know is how Oswalt and Co. have recovered from there injuries. Plus the 4 and
5 spots are still up for grabs so who is in the running to take them. The
astros season will come down to dominant pitching, what else in the n.l., so
what is the outlook? As for the loss of Alou, they will miss his experience
but isn't about time we had a real left-handed presence in the everyday
lineup. It sure will make other managers have to think harder about who comes
out of there bullpens. At any rate, Astros will kick some butt again this
year and maybe just pull off the big one. Keep up the chat, It is about time!

... Well, the problem is that the only other choices are Ausmus and Everett. While both are faster than Ward, neither is likely to hit as well. BTW, IIRC, back...
I think they might put Ward towards the bottom of the lineup until he gets adjusted again to a starting role as well as taking a little pressure off of the...

Wow, Ward hitting 2nd!! That's not something I had thought about. No doubt he would see a steady diet of fast balls. He hasn't shows excellent bat control,...
Ward would be awesome in the 2 spot. But do ya really think an old school manger is gonna have a player with no speed and no thoughts about layin down a bunt...

I didn't get any stats on anyone, but hopefully poorly just like the Royals did against us today. Cheers. ... "If, at first, you do succeed, try to hide your...
