Last year, he had 55 SB : replica Raymond Weil 9341-ST-00307 Men's watch games.Well, his OBP is high enough, but it's very dependent on his .335 BA he does NOT walk enough and strikes out WAY too much.This spring, he's hit .306 in 62 AB, slugging .371 (4 doubles), stealing 9 bases (no CS) and scoring 19 runs.But I'll bet he's our new lead-off guy if Biggio doesn't start…SO in conclusion if Biggio doesn't start, Taveras will lead off.
If Taveras ends up in the minors, then I guess the next best candidate is Adam Everett….In other news, Quintero was sent down (duHh) as well as Ezequiel Astacio (STILL don't know if he's gonna be the 5 starter and get called up for the April 17th game) and Mike Gallo 9.82 ERA in 7.1 IP with 2 BB : 5 K (guess John Franco replica Raymond Weil 4876-STC-05207 Men's watch gonna be the only lefty ugh).Russ Springer was added to the 40 man and I'll bet he makes Opening Day roster, too.By the way, Mike Emeigh, a Pirates fan and stat geek who is into defensive stats, and a great guy, wrote a really good Astros preview.Check it out.
Opening Day is only one week away and the roster is STILL not in place.We traded Tim Redding.Which was not exactly a big surprise, given his lousy spring and his trade demands.The big surprise was that we only got Humberto Quintero, a 25 year old minor league catcher, from the Padres.Well, you say, we needed replica Raymond 5390-STP-00308 Ladie's watch to replace John Buck, who went to the Royals for Carlos Beltran.Quintero is supposed to have a GREAT arm.Beeg Deal.He can't hit a lick, just like Ausmus and Chavez.Just what we need, another catcher who can't hit or run.
