Well if you're mentioning Scott Elarton, then you must be referencing a nightmare. In fact he was traded to the Rockies by this time.
Shoulders are a real mother****er man. Everything else can be fixed pretty easily but that one seems beyond us.
Checking back, we were loaded with potential. Some like Oswalt became everything we hoped and more. Some like Elarton flashed early only to become a journeyman and others like Hernandez collapsed (injury). It is really a great opportunity to show the risk associated with long contracts early in a player's career. Both the risk of signing and the risk of not signing them. May the majority of extensions work in favor of sustained Astros success.
I agree. What I mean is when I saw it happen it looked like almost nothing. It wasn't a violent collision.
