1. Altuve-Underdog and loves to play.
2. Lowrie- nice to have a short stop that is not a black hole.
3. Shafer (so far)- much maligned. Could end up better than Borne.

I liked Bourn, but he didn't seem to make any distinction to playing for the Astros or any other team even though he was borne and raised here.

For a minute there I thought you had lost what little bit of your mind you had left and were talking about Schafer and Bourn. Thankfully I read it again.

He would have to live up to his expectations.
I am not saying he will and that is why I put so far in parenthesis.
He may just end up a so so often injured pot head with failed expectations.
Pretty much where he is now, but they say he has the talents to do well so I want him to be better than Bourn, who didn't care if he played for us or not.

Either way we have Springer waiting in the wings.

You think Bourn traded himself? Are you really just nuts or what.

You are the nut to ask such a stupid question, but we are used to inane questions form you.

That's an ignorant statement. It's not even close to your most ignorant though. Do you also think he caused a hurricane? LOL

"Bud."

Norris has quietly dealt his way into NL Pitcher of the Month candidacy. Statistically he's having a better May than Cole Hamels & Gio Gonzalez

Jed Lowrie - fun to watch on defense, and a threat on offense - great off-season pickup. Great heads-up play by Jed last night to get the lead runner at third on a ball hit deep in the hole.

So far this year, I almost have to go with Meyers.
He never complained and has really settled down the pen.
He is one of the main reason we are doing so well.
If he keeps this up all year he will have my vote for MVP.
