Here's what the Opening Day lineup might look like: Michael Bourn CF, Kaz Matsui 2B, Lance Berkman 1B, Carlos Lee LF, Hunter Pence RF, Ty Wigginton 3B, Adam Everett SS, J.R. Towles C, Roy Oswalt P.

 

I'm sure glad Ed Wade's the GM of the Astros.

The Astros would suck in 2008 with or without Ed Wade. Even Billy Beane couldn't turn around that organization overnight.

That's more like it.

Neal Hunttington still hasn't shown me anything yet to indicate the 'Stros have any hope of finishing in last place yet.

 

Still early though.

[Balsa]

I don't know, Carlos Lee, Hunter Pence, and Lance Berkman will all put up good numbers.

 

Not to be mean to Jake, but they'll be better than the Pirates.

[Transmogrified Tiger]

Wigginton stands a decent chance of being better than Pence, and that's not really praise of Wigginton.

Wigginton stands a decent chance of being better than Pence, and that's not really praise of Wigginton.

you really believe that?

Yes, Pence is going to pay the piper when his BABIP comes back to reality.

[muntjack]

The lowest OPS Hunter Pence has ever put up at any level is .864.

 

He is good.
