astros lose another......

[necks_c/09]

aubrey huff signs a deal with the baltimore orioles.......

Dang....he wasnt a great player but he was of plenty value to them......i think they should have tried harder to keep him around...

I hope clemens comes back b/c they need him desperately...

[carter08]

This solves the third base issue. Ensberg will be the starter now. No more sharing the role with Huff.

Need more pitching
Oswalt, Williams, Jennings, and who else

Must get Clemens back

[Maroon87]

I don't think the Stros had any interest in bringing back Huff. Besides, next season will be an odd-numbered year so Ensberg will probably hit 40 homers with 100 RBI.;)

[necks_c/09]

backe...hes back this year....that gives em 4 .....

agreed...they do need clemens though....that would give ema full rotation

He may have already had it

But he is missing all of 2007

[necks_c/09]

so who else should they try and get......all the good free agents have already signed with teams.....they still need help now and who will play centerfield after losing taveras...?

Chris Burke will play CF

Chris Sampson will be the 5th starter if Clemens returns

[necks_c/09]

they also need to think about the future a 2nd base....biggio is getting pretty old.....and another problem with losing these players is they are losing all their depth....what happens if we start getting injuries.....

Burke is the future 2nd Baseman. Charlton Jimmerson should be called up this year. I see him at CF by the 2008 season when Biggio retires

[necks_c/09]

but jimmerson's batting sucks....he is pretty good at fielding though....he needs some work.....but they still have no depth unless there is unknown talent down in the minor leagues.....another player like luke scott.....???

Hunter Pence will be very good in the majors.

[necks_c/09]

nice scouting report.....never heard of him but i believe you....

[necks_c/09]

c'mon carter where u at???

[Who-dun-it!!?]

This is exactly Craig Biggio is the greatest MLB player of all time. (My opinion only). He hasn't let a little thing like money disrupt his loyalty. The Majors need more players like him.

if you need any astros info just ask me...i'm an astros freak!! I'm a groupie!

Ok, as for backe. he already had his operations, things are doing good, he is out for the year this year could be back for spring training next year! Still up in the air there.

Burke, will be playing CF this year...the kid needs to get on the field he is to damn good to be sitting on the pine. He is the future and the 2nd bag for the astros.

Future in CF....hunter pence is a MAN AMONG BOYS at AA Corpus Christi, trust me i know, i have season tickets. But they are working with him slowly. They dont want to call him up to early and get his confedence tore down. But he is the future for the CF for the astros. As for as strike out king Jimerson...i saw him two years ago in CC...i hated him...he did three things as a batter, about 50% he struck out, 45% he poped up to and infeilder, and the rest of the time he crushed the ball.

Huff, he just wasn't a good fit in houston...he is a AL player. Morgan needs to have a great year, or he is a goner!!!

Pitching...is still way up in the air...
Oswalt
Jennings
are pretty much the only two that will be stable in the rotation for right now!

thanks for pointing out a bunch of stuff we have already figured out....
:clap:

[JakefootballGOD]

you didnt even know who was playing CF...LOL rookie

[necks_c/09]

i just wanted a definite.....thats who i thought would play it....and i figured he might get a lot of pt a 2nd base w/ biggio being so old.....and we all know jimmerson sucks at batting so he wont play alot

[necks_c/09]

so since u know everything about the astros where does mike lamb fit in.....still the bench rider or what???

i think he should play before ensberg....i dont care how good his defense is....his batting is 10 times better than ensbergs
