Hoarding prospects gives hope for the future, but if you aren't willing to spend in order to fill in around them or use them to improve the club via trade, then you are put in a position where you absolutely need every one of them to pan out.

Nvmd. Too superstitious.
quote:I do take pride in it after suffering through those horrible years. I wouldn't say it is easy to turn around in 2 years as you need more than 3-4 solid pieces for a competitive team. We had an owner whose goal was just to keep the team "good enough" with aging vets and cast offs to keep people coming to the park. Then the decided to burn it to the ground and start over to make the team easier to sell.
While I do think the Astros are in good position for the next several years, is it really something to take a lot of pride in? Your team had to tank for 4 straight years (average of 104 losses) just to *maybe* "start a run of dominance" two years later...
Nearly any team could do that, but not many want to.
quote:This, probably more than any other thing, is what is hurting the Astros. You have to have a mix of young/talented players and veteran leadership. Beltre has made Andrus/Odor better, just as they make Profar/Gallo better. What should happen, is that Houston should utilize the core/elite prospects, platoon a handful of utility prospects, and then fill the gaps with solid/proven veterans.quote:The future certainly looks bright for the Astros, however, it still remains to be seen if your ownership (Crane...not the Rangers ) is willing to spend the money necessary to take that next step.

Luckily sequenced our way to another win. At least it was 2 runs this time so our run differential is sky rocketing!
quote:No. Just lucky. Fangraphs told me so.
35 come from behind wins. Is that good?
quote:Not wasted, PIZZA!
DAMNIT!!!!! We wasted a run. Only needed 6. Too, much, sequencing.
