    [ESPN] Is Lane ready to step forward for 'Stros?

    Lane can rake....I don't have much doubt with him. .280/.351/.526 despite getting to play once a week is very very impressive. His RH power fits...

    Berkman: what should he get?

    Does Beltrans baserunning make up for 58 points in batting average? Or nearly 100 points in on base %? How does .258 qualify as the tool of...

    Berkman: what should he get?

    Well, comparing Beltran to Pujols is quite nuts IMO. Comparing Berkman to Beltran isn't nuts at all.

    Berkman: what should he get?

    I want someone to explain to me why Berkman should get less money than what Beltran should get. Don't bring up the 5 tool thing because according...

    Oswalt: What should he get?

    I'm not even sure if people in Houston realize how good this guy has been for us. In the past 20 years there hasn't been a pitcher that was so...

    [Star-Telegram] Backe for Soriano Swap?

    Qualls showed me a lot during the regular season. Great arm and solid control. He needs a good infield defense behind him, but I think we could...

    [Star-Telegram] Backe for Soriano Swap?

    Well based on the NLCS and you were a Cards fan who would you trust in their pen? Izzy? He was fairly terrible? Tavarez? Blowup. Burger King? Our...

    [Star-Telegram] Backe for Soriano Swap?

    Nope. Starting pitching depth or lack thereof cost us more than anything. Having to start Munro because we had no better options is what killed us.

    [Star-Telegram] Backe for Soriano Swap?

    No it wasn't. In fact our bullpen was better than Atlanta in the NLDS and our bullpen was better than St. Louis in the NLCS.

    [Sporting News] Beltre going to M's ('stros/Beltran ramifications?)

    Astros lose again: Clement to BoSox

    In this market that actually seems like one hell of a deal. I don't know why we'd be interested in Clement in the first place so I don't get how...

    Stay the hell away from Lima. I can see another 40 HR allowed season from him in this park.

    center fielder and speed

    The Willie Taveras kid we got from the Rule 5 draft has tons of speed. 57 SBs in 69 attempts in A ball with great CF range. The only problem...
