Check out Springer in right.

Check out Springer in right.

Who'd've thunk a CF could do that if you put him in right?

Where did you get this chart? Is there one for every team? I'd be interested to look at them.

Ken Giles is not closing to start the season.

Andy MacPhail strikes again. What a trade of Giles.

The Astros got clobbered by Seattle last night to drop to 6-15, dead last in the AL. Is it just a slow start or is The Plan to lose 100 games for the next three years to really, really stock up the farm?

I would lean toward a slow start, but that starting pitching suddenly doesn't look as great as it did last year.

Craziness I know. A lot of the names are the same, they're just pitching much worse. Makes you wonder what's going on.

[weams]

No one would have picked them to be worse than the Orioles this season.

Still plenty of time to finish better.

I'm glad to see the team right the ship, though not at our expense.
