I've always been a fan of Bogusevic after he made the conversion from pitcher. I'd really like to see the guy have a decent career after that.

Other than that, Altuve, Martinez, and Paredes all have a lot of potential and are exciting to watch. And Shuck is a hustling underdog too. Too hard to pick for me right now. I'm just really liking all these young hitters. It's a shame the pitching hasn't been better the last couple games.

I like Altuve also. His swing is nice, compact, short stroke. I also really like Martinez. How strong is he. Sounded like that 3 run homer the other night was off the end of the bat but still went out.

You need to learn to comply, or you're going to be fed to the hogs when the zombies attack.

The people doing the psych evals are usually mongoloids. My experience, anyway.

Martinez. Altuve is the hot pick because he's fun to cheer for, but 10-15 years from now, I get the feeling we'll look back and Martinez will have been the better player of the two of them. Do like Altuve though.

Its hard to say our of the Big 3 who is my favorite... But to keep the Zombies away, I will take Jimmy Paredes. I just think wow this kid is not even ready to be here and he is doing a good job. If he keeps growing, adjusting, he could be the Astros 3b for the next 10 years+..

To expand on the question, which pitcher did the Astros recieve out of all the trades do you think or have a feeling that will have the best career in Houston? My vote is Paul Clemens... Cosart may be the top prospect, but Clemens just seems to have it all together, less raw, and chances are more likely to deliever.

Jim Crane - at least I can be fairly certain he'll still be here next year at the break.
