Not sure if that was Brady Aiken's GF or sister, but... wow.

 

you may want to get a new thread started for your annual degen stros' draft-pick tracking.

and merry christmas to you.

 

I didnt know Adam worked for the Stros still... I remember he was the first player I like strictly because of his defense.

 

Spoiler

God I F'n hate Bud Selig

 

I still remember that incredible double play he and Bruntlett turned in Game 4 of the 05 NLCS... AND when Lee bulldozed over his leg in 2007...

 

Awesome. Just awesome.

 

Put your name on it, who's it going to be? I say Alex Jackson, though I'd like Aiken.

 

fine with it. hope he works out.

 

What does Adam Everett do for the Astros?

 

Aiken! That's my hope.

 

Kinda disappointed it's not Jackson but I don't care as long as Aiken works out.

 

Gosh that seems like a decade ago... Oh wait

 

It'll be interesting to see the bonus. I'm guessing $5.5MM.

 

Brady Aiken it is.

 

Welcome to Houston, Brady Aiken.

 

Kolek to Marlins.

 

Aiken and Kolek will be compared for years. Much like Correa/Buxton

 

I'd rather they not do that until they reach the majors.
