    I look at that draft, only 1 of the top 5 picks was even moderately successful (BJ Upton).

    Because he's in A ball and needs to cut down on his K's. I'd be happy with a promotion to Corpus.

    George Springer at home: 1.116 OPS
    Road: .696 OPS

    Since Lancaster is a joke, I'd tend to rely on road stats being more indicative about how good a player is, and that just isn't getting it done.

    I have a bad feeling about tonight:(

    Harrell's been good lately but I think he may come back down to earth. Everybody in the bullpen is struggling with ironic exception of Abad.

    I just don't see him "coming back to earth" against the Padres.

    Clayton Richard has compiled most of his ERA numbers vs OAK/SEA and at Petco. I think the Astros can continue their recent hot streak against him.

    makes perfect sense. by the way some posters speak of him, I thought he was in AA :p guess I should pay more attention to the "astros minor league thread"

    Harrell has been pitching really well as of late. I dunno if the competition has just been that weak, but he's dropped his ERA substantially and his K/9 recently has been excellent for a sinker-ball pitcher.

    Chris Snyder is slower than I realized was humanly possible.

    I was def wrong about Harrell tonight! He's been pretty impressive lately. Hopefully he can sustain it.

    He's pitched well most of the season. Given up 3 or fewer runs in 10 of 15 starts. Outside of getting shelled in one start against Colorado, he hasn't had any terrible games.

    Edit:

    Home: 4-1 2.48 ERA
    Road: 2-5 6.36 ERA (He's had bad luck pitching in 5 of the top 6 parks for scoring this season).

    Tough call in a 1-run game. I think you let him try, but short leash.
