Not to hogg the post, but I'm really excited about the comets. I think the trophy is coming back where it belongs.

At the end of last yr after another poor season, I thought the astros should have gotten 2 contact low strikeout guys like Nefi Perez and Lofton. I thought with the farm system they have, they could trade Hidalgo for prospects, sign Lofton and play him in center and make a simple trade for perez. Lofton,Perez,Biggio along with bagwell,Berkman and Ward would have given the astros contact speed guys at the top to load the bases up for Bags,Berkman and Ward. I don't think any pitcher would want to face that even handed lineup,but of course they only want to be first round fodder as usual.

Uh...they had the best record in the National League despite losing 2 very good starters (Oswalt and Astacio) for most of September (and as it turned out, October). Once again, they were up among the league leading teams in offense. Why would you say that last year was 'ANOTHER poor season'? Their season was excellent. They did experience another poor playoff.

Is that the same Neifi Perez that is currently hitting .223 with a .244 OBP?

Yes, the same Neifi Perez who has a career .308 OBP & 2.18:1 K:BB ratio. He really would have helped.
