I'll add..... that if the Astros were able to lock up Sheets beyond this year the deal should be done without blinking an eye. But aside from...
I think Sheets is in the last year of his deal.
I hear ya; my comment was primarily in jest.
It appears that the Rockets are showcasing Taylor.
I think we all clearly understand the point.
Except he's not left handed and not a slap hitter. All of the good slap hitters have primarily been leftys. I've said it before, untill Taveras...
Max, I think you have fallen too deeply in love with this stat.
Just thinking about Sheets and Oswalt 1 and 2 in a rotation cracks a smile on my face.

Swift needs to take care of his underachieving ways.
exactly.
Absolutely. Hopefully he keeps showing the pop in his bat and his rookie league debut is more than just a fluke season.
I would say his struggles were far less than the struggles Einertson saw when he hit low A. On a side note... Could the Astros have an Oswalt...
Have you had a chance to see Jimmy Barthmaier?
... as well as, Josh Muecke and Fernando Nieve
Taveras better learn to drive the ball or he'll get busted inside by RHP at the major league level all year long.
