    I saw Zobrist play a couple of games in the minors. He was not adequate defensively at SS. I'd rather have Everett as a SS and Burke as a 2nd baseman.

    Unfortunately, there have been too many times this year that the Astros only had to get 24 outs. :(

    i'd look further up the batting order if you wanna take issue with their offense. i'm sure replacing the #7 or #8 hitter in the lineup will turn that all around!

    AE's gone .290 BA, .350 OBP for the past 2 months and the offense has still struggled.

    People get an idea in their heads, and it takes a crowbar to get it out.

    You totally misread my post. You should know that I am one of the biggest Astros boosters and Everett fans around. What I meant was that they have only had to play 8 innings of defense too many times due to the number of road losses.

    Considering his superior range and how he gets to balls that no other SS can, that makes it even sicker.
