Damn Lance Parrish. Had'nt heard that name in a while.
Good pick up for the Stros. Good mind behind the plate and still has some punch.

He will be just as useful as anyone else you have and your robbing young players of PT.

Already?
Didn't he just get drafted last year?


Yes after 3 years at Stanford. signed right away and played well in the minors last year. They'll probably try to pump him through pretty quickly.

Humberto Quintero was slated as the starting catcher this year with JR as his back up. Humberto isn't a prospect anymore and has had his chances. Pudge is >>>>>>> Humberto.

We are not robbing anyone else of PT cause Castro is not ready and Towles is not our future at the position

He will have completed 2 years in the minors after 3 at Stanford. A little quick but not unheard of.

BTW I know you like to rip on the astros but i'll be willing to bet we finish above your Reds this year in the NLC if you want to come up with something.

Be ready to pay up, bitch.




And signing Pudge pretty much is the management telling Towles and Quintero that they are not the future... a way to get to Castro, hopefully.

It's not the worst signing ever.

Now the Astros need to sign Pedro Martinez. Might as well, right?
