    He's not hitting. I'd take Reggie Sanders

    Reggie Sanders?

    How about the Pride of Baytown, TX...Glenn Wilson? had a cannon (can't find proper highlights of him in RF, this is what I got)

    I liked Sanders. Although I was somewhere who was high on Jermaine Allensworth.

    I'd like to see that love old school Stros.

    I thought Reggie Sanders was a Red? ...and then like maybe 4 other teams? But never an Astro.

    He was definitely a solid player.

    Barry Larkin

    We both slept on that guy.

    If you want a Red from those years on your team, that's your guy.

    Has a beautiful auto. Nicest person you'll meet. Michigan guy.

    He won't to Cheesecake Factory with us. Sean Casey too.

    I'm going to get you in someone...Brian Jordan

    **** Brian Jordan (and I mean that in the nicest possibly way). That dude killed the Astros when he was with the Cards and again with the Braves.

    Sean Casey is the Cincy version of Mark Grace or Lance Berkman. 1B full of fun stories.

    Team turned into a bunch of scrubs. It feels like they have gone off the rails like a crazy train.

    It is full of AAAA players and rookies who may be AAAA players.

    You aren't a competitive team.

    Missing Paredes, Pena, Yordan. 3 all stars.

    They are replaced with Zach Short, Trammel, Chaz, and Jon Singleton.

    You are going to lose a lot of games.

    I honestly think we are fvked but we are very well positioned for next year unless we continue to be the most injured club in baseball. Move Framber if you don't plan to resign him.
