Haha! There's a kid named Lucas Harrell that could fill that 5th spot. So Schafer is down for you? Glad you took my advice. He just a slow starter but when his bat is hot better watch out. He finds holes in the defense more than hitting home runs but I had a few with him tho. His base running skills not so fast my friend. Hopefully there's a few more like Johnson in the system. You pulled a move I wouldn't do. But it seems you doing well with Vladdy. You took a major risk in my eyes because if he get hurts you lost in that deal. Have you shipped Lee or Wandy yet? I know you wanna win now but what is your plans after shipping them off if you haven't already. Btw what is your throw out percentage with Johnson? I think managing Da Stros is the most incredible experience I had in a virtual game.

Harrell is actually pretty decent as the 5th starter in AAA...but he's not gettin a shot lol...yup Schafer got injured a while back...i cudd care less honestly...he was gunna get benched or sent down anyway...blessing in disguse if u ask me....lets not make Johnson out to be A-Rod here lol....he's hitting for a decent average with no hr power nor is he driving many guys in....with Vladdy, none of the Astros minor league OF'ers are anywhere near ready IRL so i tried to mimic that in the game.....i wasnt comfy bringing up any of the journeymen OF so i decided with Vladdy....if he gets hurt, im screwed as he's becoming an integral part of my lineup....i know i stated this a while back but im not trading Lee or Wandy....Lee is my only power threat in the lineup and Wandy is putting up ace-type numbers....and no i dunno Johnson's fielding % off the top of my head...def agree with the enjoyment of playing with the Astros...if i were playing with the Yanks or Sox, i'd be bored chitless by now

Johnson's fielding % is .985

just made another deal, sending Jason Castro, Jose Altuve and Nick Tropeano (B pitching prospect) to the White Sox for Gordon Beckham....they're well out of playoff contention and Lowrie was hitting the skids

Kinda make you wish Michael Bourne was back in Houston. But Schafer isn't all that bad. He is more like Johnson as in a slow starter. Once he reaches bases it's a wrap. Houston team definitely has players you have to grow on. I sometimes play good with someone then good do some research on that player. Houston is a team you Love/Hate. Once things fall into place what a city to be in. H-Town

Funny u mention Bourn.....im near the trading deadline and ATL is receiving trade offers for him lol....had to reject every one cause they were so unrealistic....and speaking of Schafer, he's due to come off the DL in a week or so...i have no use for him in the starting lineup...guess he's gunna be my main pinch-runner off the bench
