Anyone that tells you they know who is going to win the World Series in 2017, has just as good a shot at being accurate as throwing a dart at a list of all the teams and seeing whom they hit.

A majority of prospects do not pan out. I would say though, that the Astros had more than just 5 guys produce.... Wade Miller, Jeff Bagwell, Mike Hampton, Darryl Kile, Shane Reynolds, Luis Gonzalez, Chad Qualls, Wandy Rodriguez, Bud Norris and others all have been products of the system and played major parts to the teams success at some point in time.

Baseball has changed a lot in just the last 5 years. There are twice as many wildcards and the difference between the "good teams" and the "average team" is smaller than ever.

I agree with you, but we acquired Mike Hampton from Seattle's system.

My apologies as I have no explanation for forgetting Julio Lugo.
