    I understand the frustration with the strikeout ratio but I can't see moving away from the development of a power threat like Carter. And I would like to see the proof of him having a bad attitude.

    I have been impressed with his defensive play.

    Excellent way to measure players. Carter currently has twice the home runs of last year's triple crown winner, so he must be twice the player of Miguel Cabrera! And you want to cut him!?

    Marwin Gonzalez has the same amount of homeruns as Pujols and Trout COMBINED! Also Pujols has a WAR of .6 and Trout a .4 while Gonzalez himself has .9. Wow he is much better than those two!

    We should start chanting MVP when he comes up to bat.

    Joe Saunders has 1 Astro SOs in 3 innings. He is one small step away from AAA, no?

    Edited:

    Joe Saunders finished with 2 Astro SOs in 5 innings.

    And I said we should cut Cedeno earlier today.

    Seems to work for everyone except Brett Wallace.

    Robbie Grossman has as many extra-base hits today as he did in OKC.

    Grossman is the first Astro to double twice in his major league debut since James Mouton did it on Opening Day in 1994 against Montréal.

    And holy wow Ronny Cedeño.

    I am curious to see how this changes Altuve's game (if at all)
