They are putting togeather one helluva good team. I think this is going to be a standout year for them. Maybe they can get Clemens to come back for another season that would be an added shot in the arm or should I say arse. I couldnt pass that up. ;D My opinion is hes drug free and just because some fans from here are mad because he left the Astros for more money and some scumbag says different to get his name out there and maybe make some money doesnt change my mind about Clemens one dam bit.

They may have lost their new shortstop without him ever playing a game. Tejada is under investigation for lying to Congress about drug knowledge. A couple of years in the pen would hurt the Astros infield. I don't care about Tejada but I do care about the Astros.

Good idea! Because Berkman doesn't like Pence, I was thinking they'd trade Pence in the off-season but cooler heads have prevailed. They still need pitching help badly. Not just one but two quality starters! Everett and Ausmus plus the pitcher left too big a hole in the bottom of the batting order. That was usually three up-three down at least three times in nine innings. Playoff teams never have that kind of hole in the lineup. There will be lots of questions going into 2008 for the Astros.

The Astros may be good this season but not so hot in Grapefruit League of Spring training so far. Last year they were near top team in Spring training, and we all know how lousey they were during season. Just maybe, 2008 will be good year for them.

The Astros need top quality pitching! They have Oswalt and then..............! We can score 20 runs but the other guys can score more.

Unfortunately, not much else, unless he has developed something since he was traded. He apparently thought that he didn't need to develop any other pitches, so he said when he was with the Astros. Lots of talent, but not teachable at the time...
