its too bad that they cant bring up rizzo and jackson now. it would be exciting atleast

Jackson is really struggling in AAA. Rizzo looks like he is ready. It would be nice to see another legitimate bat in the order.

Coleman as a reliever could be decent.

Rizzo is "blocked" and they probably want to at least guarantee year 7. Brett Jackson is scuffling a bit.

Even last year's Astros had a nice streak at some point.
Yes I know, but come on don't tell me it wasn't encouraging to watch them play against the opponents they did and more than hold their own with a roster that is pretty light in the lineup and bullpen.

That is a fair assessment, but he wouldn't be the first batter to struggle in San Deigo's park.

It was encouraging, but it was due to normalize. I'm trying not to get too crazy here :lol:

Good start to breaking up the shutout. Yes I realize that it would normalize, but this is quite a swing the other way.

Sveum and Jaramillo really need to get into Castro's head about batting with runners on base because he is different hitter once a guy gets on base this year. Either that or bat him at the top of the order.

Take Campana out of #2 spot and put Castro there. Slide everyone else up one spot.
