WHERE oh WHERE is that supposed great farm system we've heard about on here...for what, like the past 4-5 yrs. ?
I think we're just seeing the astros and cubs, continuing to milk the MLB tv contract AND their gullible fans.IF, you still get the money and the fans keep coming back like sheep...where's the real incentive to do better ???????

Astros have not been paid by them in months and 60% of city of Houston can't watch the games. 2nd, our fans aren't coming back like sheep, they left long ago. Tell you don't know shite about our franchise because we average 10,000-12,000 fans a game in the seats. Between the club we have had on the field the past 3 seasons and the lack of a TV deal fans have jumped off the wagon. Support is at an all time low. You think Jim Crane actually wants to own a franchise where he can't get paid from a TV deal and only draws 10-12K a game. Get real. Now the Cubs on the other hand, still are a draw because they are the Cubs and have Wrigley Field.

Who said this? Pretty understood how shite Drayton left this farm system and it wasn't really worth a shite until maybe 2 years ago. We've steadily been climbing into a respectable farm system and it'll take time. People look at the Astros sucking for the last 4 years and thinking all those years count as rebuilding? No we were stuck in limbo for about the first two years while we sucked enough to get high picks and traded assets for prospects. We've really only been rebuilt for about 2 years. Baseball takes the longest of almost any sport to develop a young player into a servicable pro (unless they're a once in a while talent), which is why we still have a few years before we''re even talking about contending for a wild card. Just buckle up and get ready for the ride.
And stop complaining about prices. Nobody is forcing you to buy tickets. If you don't want to watch the "shite show"...THEN DONT. but don't come back years later when/if the team starts winning.

Why bring them up now?
Singleton should be a June call-up; Folty and potentially Appel in September; Those guys should be on the 2015 Opening Day roster with Correa in June. These guys wouldn't make a fricking difference right now.
