As lifelong Astros fan, it is nice to see GM do SOMETHING about offense. Adam Everett is great guy, but banjo hitters belonged in Astrodome not Minute Maid Park. Finally, building offense for hitter's park.

Yes, pitching is important. Astros have had some great pitching staffs in their history. When your staff has 3.00 ERA and hitters only produce 2 runs per games. You lose more than you win. If 3.00 becomes 4.00 and 2 becomes 5. You will win more than you lose!

More like lineup is going to be:
Bourn
Matsui
Berkman/Pence
Lee/Berkman
Pence/Lee
Tejada
Wigginton
Towles
Oswalt - can't pitch every other day though.

".......and there's 2 outs to start the game for the 9th time in the last 10 games." Poor Berkman

Yup... just saying the same thing in the Mitchell guessing thread

No matter what all the supposed experts have to say about the Astros, their lineup is significantly better now than it was at the start of the 2007 season. The pitching staff is a little shaky behind Oswalt, but he is a dominant #1.

I doubt the Astros make a big move for a pitcher, especially with the possibility of getting Jason Jennings back on the cheap.

Either way, there's something to be excited about when the Astros come to bat for the first time in a long time.
