Astros Offseason

The Astros aren't going to become a good team by having good offseasons. If they become a good team it will be by stockpiling young talent. And I think they are doing a good job of doing that.

Singleton is crushing in Winter ball. Where he is.

Several good adds, but not near enough on the Major League level.

Wish they were still in NL.

Yeah me too but I have almost made my peace with it. But frick Selig for.......nevermind it's to nice of a day to get pissed off over it again

Oh look. LE in an Astros thread with his subtle hilarity.

Anyway, IMO, '13 was rock bottom. No where to
Go but up. I think an OF of Springer, Fowler, and Grossman (if he hits like he did in the 2nd half) isn't bad. MUCH better than last years opening day.

So is the bullpen. I'm not saying they won't be in last because the AL West is loaded right now, but they are definitely on the rise. I think correa will rake in Lancaster and end up in Corpus by years end.

Singleton will be in the bigs by July.

Was just fixing to post this

Singleton better open the season in the majors. At this point it's not about saving an extra year of service, it's about not pissing him off.

We knew this wouldn't be an over night rebuild

no shite. worst record in mlb for 3 straight years is certainly not overnight. AND there is still ABSOLUTLELY NO PROOF that it is actually a rebuild. sure, you get top picks when you are on the bottom and so people think it's a rebuild. and just because they pick up a coupla relief pitchers, one a retread is no proof to me ownership is serious about putting a good product on the field. Houston is NOT a small market but this dumb arse sure treats it like it is. can't even get the product on the tube locally. frick the astros.
