Astros GM Tim Purpura made a mistake the other day when he attempted to tell the Chronicle's Brian McTaggart how happy he was to have Adam Everett healthy for these playoffs.
In praising Everett, he inadvertently insulted Jose Vizcaino.
``(Jose Vizcaino) did a nice job, but Viz, as we know, is not an everyday player," Purpura said. "He's a great role player, and having Adam's defense in there ... I really look back at last year and if we had Andy and Adam it would have been a different story.''
He remembers it differently than I do. I remember Vizcaino playing very well, both offensively and defensively. I can't imagine Everett would have been better. Vizcaino certainly wasn't why the Astros didn't go to the World Series.
Purpura met with Vizcaino to discuss the comments.
What is Purpura thinking making comments like that? Jose did very good last year on both ends. I would be insulted and pissed if I was Jose. Adam Everett hasn't done squat this postseason.
