While I am proud to have a contending team .......I’m VERY disappointed in the lack of home grown pitchers from within the Astros farm system.  I think Whitley will be fine.  But everything else we have is basically free agent or trade.   The pitching talent evaluation lags far behind positional players 

I agree

No offense.    But the Rangers don’t have a strong enough minor league to afford to do a deal   IMHO.   The Rangers are playing very well.  But I truly believe they would be well advised to not trade prospects at this point 

I agree...they dont have an excellent farm system like they did in the days of trading for A-List guys. But they still have some decent prospects. 

I dont want to give away what little we do have for rental A-List type guys. 

I want another SP in the mold of Minor & Lynn. Guys that'll give you consistent quality starts. Plenty of guys out there that fit that description. Also like to have another consistent bullpen guy. That'd make me happy as a fan.

Stassi adds no value to this club and they charge Springer with a error that looked like Stassi should have easily handled that ball, Gattis would have been more valuable than Stassi as a catcher at least he can go long every now and then

Valdez pitching tonight.    I don’t have high hopes 

Funny thing they sent the guy who threw 5 good innings after the last Valdez outing down and keep Valdez up makes no sense to me

Well the new and improved Chirinos batting average sure didn’t last long   He is approaching Tyler White status 

He got off to a good start but has faded, some on the Stros thought he was all star material I wasn't one of them
