    Hmm, brooks would probably make a great pinch runner but thats about it...

    Chase may be a great defensive outfielder or something (mad hops)

    I remember it's an annual thing that the Astros invite the Texans to take BP at MM. Can't remember when the Rockets were invited in previous years, but I'm thinking they have.

    Rockets sent these scrubs over to take batting practice to distract media from their pursuit of Melo!

    It's a total Smokes Green!

    Looks fun. I bet Chuck Hayes could hit a lot of home runs.

    Brooks looks a little bit more heavier.
