I agree. Their starters are horrible. But the offense is underachieving this year IRL. Once their guys get going I think we'll see them play close to .500 ball. As far as the game goes though, their offense is great and I rake with them. So you could probably hover around .500 and trade some prospects for pitching and maybe contend first year. That's what I would do if I played with them. I would say you could easily contend second year, and I think IRL they'll contend next year or be close, as long as they can get some pitching.

Re: Da Astros
Yea the Astros gonna make you have to think to contend. There's a couple of position that are locked. Schafer has is safe for my center fielder. Martinez is safe for now for my left fielder. Hopefully we can receive a power hitter in a exchange for Lee. That would help Martinez in the lineup. I think I gonna convert Martinez to a first basemen after Lee is gone. That gives Singleton time to develop in the minors. Hopefully I can get a veteran left fielder in the the Wandy Rodriguez sweepstakes.
Angels get: Myers, C. Johnson, T. Buck
Astros get: Aybar, Walden, Abreu
Nationals Get: Schafer, Cedeno
Astros Get: LaRoche, DeRosa, Rodriguez
Dbacks Get: Francoeur, Kouzmanoff, Lowrie
Astros Get: Bloomquist, Upton, Blum
Royals Get : Bogusevic, Shuck, Snyder, C. Lee, Harrell, Paredes
Astros Get: Crow, Moustakas, Gordon, Kouzmanoff, Francoeur, Maier
Orioles Get: W. Rodriguez, Buchanan, Hallock
Astros Get: Arrieta, D. Bundy, Matusz
So as you can see some unfair trades, but I will be restarting it todayComment

How the **** do you pitch with Wandy? 3 games into spring training and been lit up like the Christmas tree at Rockefeller Center. He started the first game vs Strasburg and allowed 8 ER in 2 IP. How do you approach hitters with him?
David Carpenter and Rhiner Cruz along with lefties Abad, Escalona and Wright have been solid in the bullpen so far. Myers went 1-2-3 in his lone inning of work. Gonna give Lyon an inning or two in the next game as he's only been up and throwing without seeing any action yet.
Can't hit a beach ball with Chris Johnson or Justin Maxwell.Former modder of "Ultimate Rosters" for MVP Baseball 2005.

Also, Lucas Harrell came into relief for Wandy in the game I mentioned. He gave up 5 ER in 1 IP...
It's only been three games but having a good back end of the rotation feels extremely important if I wanna be able to contend with my starter more than 4-5 innings. Thinking of looking into a veteran like Livan Hernandez or Bartolo Colon as an innings eater. Guess Livan would come pretty cheap. Any more old vet starters that fits the mold of acquiring cheap? Kevin Millwod? Aaron Cook?Former modder of "Ultimate Rosters" for MVP Baseball 2005.
