Let me know what yall think!

[OldManBernie]

Gary Matthews, Jr. ought to be highlighted as well... I am worried he's having a career year though.

thats why i didnt i think its all down hill from here

[Austin70]

We can leave Preston alone, too many Ks for me.

[UTweezer]

how much $$$ is going off the books after this season?

bags 18mill
clemens
pettite
???

we should be able to aquire some quality FA's maybe an allstar/superstar caliber pitcher?

imo, we should have traded jason lane a long time ago. Our outfield is crowded and I'm afraid Tavaras will end up being traded (and he'll go on to hit 340 and steal 40 bases for someother team)

pressing need is the bullpen, and then offense, and also 1 star caliber SP.

[kaleidosky]

at least for me...way too early to think of all that. you realize we still have 1/2 a season and a playoff race, right? ;)

[WhoMikeJames]

Wow Carlos Lee would be a miracle, that guy is a beast. Jermaine Dye would be nice too.

[WhoMikeJames]

What about Mark Grudzielanek ?

[Aceshigh7]

What the hell? Get this out of here. We're not fans of the Cubs or the Pirates. We're Astros fans. We don't need to be looking forward to free agents now.

BAD MOJO!

[rockets-#1]

Is that really right? Are there gonna be THAT many free agents because damn that's a lot of player movement.

[Buck Turgidson]

What about Mark Grudzielanek ?
Why would they want him?
