Ewwwwww...Astros... Haha, just kidding...kind of. Being a Cubs fan, I can't exactly say I'm an Astros fan, but I was definately pulling for you guys to win it in 2005 against the Sox. Sigh. You guys let me down. I do like your signing of Carlos Lee, however. Him and Berkman make for a nice 1-2 punch. What does your rotation look like right now, though? -Oswalt -Jennings -Backe? -? -?
I LOVE the Astros! Being from Houston myself... they've always been my "home team" but I was really disappointed in the way they played last season. They were on a roll and all of sudden... crashed and burned. *sigh* hoping that next season will be better and we get back into the playoffs
I'm guessing the rotation will be: 1) Oswalt 2) Jennings 3) FA starter (possibly Suppan?) 4) Williams 5) Albers/Sampson Backe won't be back till 2007 - Tommy John Surgery. I believe the Astros can finally win the division in 2007 due to the Cardinals' devestated rotation, the improved Astros offense, and the no-pitching Cubs (DL Prior and rookie starters, except for Zambrano). I just hope Jennings will post around a 3.5 ERA, since it costed quite a bit to get him.
