Not the Oklahoma City team...the actual team in the "big leagues" now.

I think they'd put up a good fight at least.

It's pretty amazing the Astros now only have 2 guys making over $750K

They almost beat the best team in the NL last night.

They have taken the first step required to get back to respectability. They cleaned house of all the "big money" baggage and in the process, they did a good job of restocking their farm system. This is going to be a slow process but I think there are good things in the Astros' future.

That was a hell of a game, I did laugh my arse off when they asked the Astro fan on her birthday what she wished for and she said 'that the Astros don't lose a 100 games'

No it isnt, its retarded.

Altuve, Lowrie, Chris Johnson and JD Martinez would be 4 of the best hitters in AAA. Likely all hitting well over .300. Scott Moore was hitting .318 with an OPS over .950 in AAA before getting called up. Marwin Gonzalez was hitting over .300. Maxwell had an OPS well over .900 in AAA last season. Chris Snyder would be one of the best hitting catchers in AAA. Schafer and Bogusevic would be above average AAA players.

Lyles, Norris, and Harrell would all dominate AAA hitters.

So basically they would have by far the best lineup in AAA. Above average at every position with probably 4-6 AAA allstars in the lineup. They would have 3 of the best AAA pitchers. They are a terrible major league team, but they would destroy AAA teams on most nights. Their AAA team right now is currently 59-44. Do you honestly think if they sent down all their best MLB players they wouldnt win it all in AAA? God.
