    The Astros finally did something.
    Perhaps even the right something.

    Now we can move on to other important off-season things.

    While I’m not excited about Espada, I am very happy that it won’t be Ausmus or some lame retread like Buck.

    Just wait for his first decision as Manager. So I figure shortly after his press conference. Everyone needs a thread like that.

    Good decision. Espada has earned his shot. LFG!

    Now let's bolster the areas of need in the roster, and be ready to kick ass next season.

    He could name himself as manager in a last minute shocker.

    We will have a "Grown to love Joe Espada" thread up first... I will let Hey Partner! or Rvo384 create it.

    If Espada does a terrible job, demote him and find a manager elsewhere instead of promoting from the organization

    It seems like the obvious decision.

    Congrats to Espada. That's who I thought of throughout the season.

    Where did you hear this? Fired or was his contract expired and not being renewed?

    I saw that Schwab guy mention that Pettis won't be back so are they cleaning house and allowing Espada to make his staff?

    Hopefully they find someone who can see and waive his arms
