    Is that the greatest debut in franchise history offensively?

    He also walks at a decent rate. It's like he seldom get a normal out where the ball goes into the air and someone catches it

    Cole had a great debut yesterday! Which means Espada will bench him today...

    Caminiti 2 for 3 with triple, homer, and walk, 2 runs scored, but only one RBI?

    Did Gerald Young debut on the same night as Caminiti?

    Edit: I looked it up. He was 8 days before Caminiti. I always remembered it as the same game. Oh well.

    No (Young was about a week before), but Caminiti's a good one to bring up alongside Cole to answer @Fulgore's question "best debut in Astros history"

    He’s always the first person I think of for great Astros debuts. Also, Caminiti stayed on fire for a few weeks or so after his debut. Red hot.

    I will always remember that

    Dad and I (and maybe my brother) were at Cammy's debut game. He had a couple of all-world plays in the field too...we probably looked at each other and said "Wow" and "I think I like this guy" about 6 times that game

    Espada should have known better.

    Has there been any good major leaguers that both walked and struck out a lot?

    Plate discipline.

    something this team knows nothing about and seems to be relearning way too late in the season

    I don't consider 100 Ks a lot. I'm talking 200 Ks
