Common ground, is that you? I haven't been one of the fans screaming Drayton is cheap, or Purpura is fat (especially since it has nothing to...
So what do you call it? You build a winner through the draft. Unless we're the Yankees, Red Sox, Braves, Cubs, Dodgers and Angels (who throw...
We're a losing ballclub now and Drayton is still raking it in hand over fist, so winning or losing really doesn't hurt his bottom line this year....
I'm glad being clever is really working out for you. The fact is that the Astros could've added talent through the draft and help shore up...
bother.
Offer Jennings 3 years, $15 million, if he refuses... let him walk.
Drayton doesn't want to pay the money to continue building this team for the future. The reason why we were so successful and made it to the...
I don't know what Dietrich and Eibner wanted in regards to a contract, but I do know that they were asking for more than slot money, you could...

Randy Smith may have gotten the better of the Astros in the Caminiti deal, but he effectively ruined the Detroit Tigers with boneheaded moves.
Then why did they draft this guy? If it was widely known that money was going to be the issue and thus the reason why he dropped to the 13th...
Wait until September, he might get called up when rosters are expanded and may get the chance to get a taste of the big leagues.
We have a winner!
Actually it is a good business decision because they will pay a little more for a guy that spells Mike Lamb (who will make double what he makes...
I would have loved to see the Astros get prospects in return for Wheeler, but if you look at what Purpura has said, the Astros are trying to...
