    Even though his stats weren't great, may I suggest Eddie Matthews for the less than a year division? He did hit his 500th HR with Houston.

    Beltran's glove may have been buried in 2017... but he still played for a 'full season.'

    Morgan still was top 10 in position player WAR all-time for the Astros. Finley was solid enough when here...

    I would say the list of we lacked patience to see them develop:
    Johann Santana, JD Martinez, Ben Zobrist, and Jason La... just kidding... Curt Schilling

    A reliever? In the '80s?!? Was there more to that story?

    I only have three definitive picks: Jeff Bagwell, Jose Altuve, and Craig Biggio. A lot of people come to mind for the Teddy Roosevelt spot.

    Harden? If it's true he didn't get to hand-pick the coach so he's picking up his toys and leaving town? Demanding a trade? Nope. Go lose to the Warriors with another team, "beard". Buh-bye.
