Re: Da Astros
Just wanted to update you guys on my franchise (May 7th, 2012) with some bullet points. With all the good draft talk in this thread, I'm going to need your guys help in my upcoming draft (2012). This is the first time I've done one.
Majors
- 16-12 Record (Tied for 1st with Pittsburgh) 2 early Cinderella stories
- Wandy Rodriguez is 5-1 (Leads the NL in wins) From trade bait to franchise player?
- Love me some JA Happ. 1.60 ERA and 0.94 WHIP
- Weiland moves up to 4th in the rotation (2.42 ERA and Harrell is struggling) Love to hate you Harrell
- Jordan Schafer is alive! Has lifted his BA from 0.62 to .211. I was just about to send him down at the end of the week. He has extended his demotion chance another 2 weeks!
- Catcher Chris Snyder is now starting. He's hot! Hitting 4 HR's in 6 games and BA .341.
- Travis Buck is now starting in RF. He's giving great at bats hiting .289 and OBP of .373
- RP Aneury Rodriguez (16.1 IP / 16 SO / 1.10 ERA)is pitching well and making the strongest bid to moved up by the end of the month
- 3B Brett Wallace (.387/.447/.645)
- OF JB Shuck (.304/.371/.500)
Draft and Prospects Needed
- Closer - 24 YR Kevin Chapman (AA) isn't the answer
- C - Jason Castro isn't impressing me
- 1B - I think Jonathan Singleton (AA) is injury prone and will play the outfield anyway
- CF - Need guys with more speed
- 3B - Need a guy with pop in his bat
- 1B - Carlos Lee
- SS - Jed Lowrie
- 3B - Chris Johnson
Let me know if you guys think I'm crazy, especially with the needs and trade baitSteelers | Seminoles | A's | Rockets | Avalanche | Wildcats, Hoosiers | LiverpoolComment

Re: Da Astros
gunna give him a couple more chances to get his act together....i can tolerate an unspectacular ERA but what i WONT tolerate is being teased with inconsistency....and i would replace from within first as i have a plethora of candidates in the majors and AAA who have shown they can get it done albeit in non-save situationsSteelers | Seminoles | A's | Rockets | Avalanche | Wildcats, Hoosiers | LiverpoolComment

Brandon Lyon? Wilton Lopez? David Carpenter? Rhiner Cruz a wildcard?Former modder of "Ultimate Rosters" for MVP Baseball 2005.

Re: Da Astros
Cruz would be #1 option since i had him closing in AAA since the beginning of the year so i wouldn't have to take guys out of their current role....in 16 IP, he's racked up 14 SVS with a sparkling 1.69 ERA.....Lyon's a candidate to be released so no chance......Lopez is 3-1 with a 1.37 although he's allowed 2 homers in 19.2 IP....think im gunna leave him as the defacto long guy....Fernando Rodriguez has been a pleasant surprise going 2-1 with a 1.20 in 30 IP averaging almost a SO per inning...Carpenter's my 7th inning guy 2-1 with a 2.28...in AAA, Juan Abreu, is 1-2 with a miniscule 1.01 ERA avg'ing a SO per inning setting up for Cruz....Alberto Arias is 3-2 with a 1.64....Myers has blown 5 saves for me so far, serving up 6 dingers in 26 IP!!!!.....that's right folks, SIX....oh btw... he has a 5.19 ERASteelers | Seminoles | A's | Rockets | Avalanche | Wildcats, Hoosiers | LiverpoolComment

Re: Da Astros
i dont blame u....i just like to promote from within first before i make trades unless a guy from another team is absolutely setting the world on fire....the only issue i have is i can't send down Myers without risking him being picked up by another team....i might have no choice but to take that chanceLast edited by 37; 06-14-2012, 12:08 PM.Steelers | Seminoles | A's | Rockets | Avalanche | Wildcats, Hoosiers | LiverpoolComment

That's true. Do you think he's worth anything in the trade room?Comment

Speaking of which, when I get home (should be an hour or 2) I will be posting teams that are for sure out of it for a Center fielderComment
