I knew there was a reason I always liked Reynolds! :-P Hey, wouldn't he make a good pitching coach? Now there's an idea! Biggio as manager, Bagwell as bench...

Astros up in the air about Backe 12/04/2006 9:51 PM ET By Alyson Footer / MLB.com LAKE BUENA VISTA, Fla. -- The Astros have nine arbitration-eligible players...
I definitely think that the Astros should take a chance on Backe. In Nolan Ryan's book (I think it is called "The Pitcher's Bible) he mentions that 95% of...
if the astros will shell out 100 milllllllyun dollars for what my niece calls "an old guy" then they should jolly well give andy what he wants. an aging...
Pettitte is a good pitcher. Most of his losses were from lack of run support. His numbers do not reflect his ability to pitch. He has had some arm trouble but...

... Thank you. ... And Lee has knocked out at least 30 homers in the last 4 seasons while driving in 100 (99) or better. While his OBP and SLG might not be ...
Backe is quite over rated. He's had perhaps 5 (10 at most!) good starts in his major league career. Certainly he has done quite well a few times in post...

when Backe returns i'd like them to try him out as the closer, he performs best under pressure. ... From: "Brier, Bennett (AAC)" <bennett.brier@...> To:...
forget this trash every year.lets go get some good pitchers that we dont have to worry about every year.It seems like the same thing,retire then come back and...
I do not believe that any team will match or offer more, on whatever figure that the Yankees are going to put up for Andy Pettitte. The Astros will probably...
In a message dated 12/6/2006 8:24:13 P.M. Central Standard Time, ... I certainly hope you are right. The following quotes by Hendricks in some of the...
Yes, Pettitte has clearly been instructed by Clemens and their shared agents on how to play the drama/money game. I would like AP back at 10 but I agree with...
I just finished reading an article on the White Sox website where they are saying that the rumors of an impending trade with the Astros are not correct. Of...
Looks like it is still at the rumor level. I don't know that Garland is worth Taveras, Buchholz and "Hirsch". It was first reported that we'd be sending the...
Yes, I have to agree that I am not sure he is worth Buchholz, Taveras, and Hirsh. I also have to express surprise that the Astros would be willing to part...
What does everyone think about the player we grabbed in the Rule 5 Draft, Holdzkom. He struggled in 2005 but it looks like he had really good minor league...
Don't know anything about him, but anyone with potential closer stuff sounds good to me. I'm glad we've hung on to Lidge, but we can't keep waiting around...
NOT to be overly cantankerous but Backe will be 29 in 2007, has 19 career wins, is below average vs league in ERA, has a 1.476 career whip, and is coming off...

Darn, I guess it was only a matter of time before someone signed him but I was really hoping that he would end up not getting signed because no one would be...
Centerfield and Taveras - Isn't Lane one of Purpura's projects from a few years ago? I think perhaps he's grown attached to him and still feels that Jason...
Overspending - I'm not sure that one can fault Purpura for spending that much on Lee. Was it a lot of money? Heck yes it was. But at the same time, every...
Pettitte has 16 million family members that we didn't know about apparently. Look for Clemens to follow suit... ... [Non-text portions of this message have...
yeah, purpura is probably here for a few years at least, but i think his life span might take a hit if he doesn't get a legit #2 starter, which he got hurt...
Exactly. He may be evaluated on what he has to give up to obtain that #2. If it works in our advantage then it's good for him but if he has to give up too...
