WHERE oh WHERE is that supposed great farm system we've heard about on here...for what, like the past 4-5 yrs.

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.
