Look at the facts. Most of the starters are doing a fairly good job and as you say, the bullpen needs totally revamped. However, the offense just hasn't been effective either. Many of the Astro hitters are known to be slow starters and I think the offense will come around very soon. Woody Williams is no longer effective and he needs to be watched closely and if he doesn't pitch better soon, a change must be made. Replacing some of the bullpen through the minors would only be a temporary fix, the team needs to go out and get mid relievers like Baltimore did during the off-season. I honestly do not think Roger Clemens will be back with the 'stros, so they are going to have to fix things from within or make a few deals.

Get a hitting coach and get them serious. That is the problem. No hitting has bothered them for years. I think Lee and Berkman are both overrated. You have Lamb, and Scott and Palmiero waiting in the wings. What happened to Jimerson?It is discouraging and they keep saying it is early in the season. It was last year too and then it was too late.

That would be stupid! Berkman + Lee arnt over rated I think. Everyone has a few bad years unless you just Suck, but Berkman will pull around. Lee is doing fine. 4th in the league in RBIs, that's pretty good. Why would we send the bullpen to the minors? Roy O is Awesome! Some might need to come and go, but not all need to go. Lane needs more playing time, he has like 5-6 HRs and doesn't play much. I think he would have a good year this year.Where should my sliding pad for softball start and end when I slide righty?
The rotation is just as weak as the lineup. Trading Jason Hirsh to the Rockies in the Willy Taveras trade is looking like a big mistake. There's no doubt that losing Clemens and Pettite hurt tremendously, but perhaps they will get Clemens back. As for the lineup, it's not that bad. Berkman will go on a tear pretty soon and lead the Astros to a bunch of victories. They need a new catcher though. All these years Ausmus has been so unproductive.Why do the Umpire move around?
I have some better ideas. Trade ensberg to San Diego for Scott Linebrink. Start Mike Lamb at third base. Trade Jason Lane and some minor leagers to the white sox for John Garland(the guy they originally wanted before they settled fot Jennings) And they need a new catcher so I would do any thing humanly possible to work out a trade with the braves for their minor league prospect Jared Sattamacchia and groom him behing Ausmus. Cuz come on Ausmus is old and he has never been able to hit but he does call good games and he would help the youngster a lot in that area. Since Biggio is going to retire soon, I'd have Chris Burke Backing him up. For my last move I would try to get Carl Crawford,a hometown boy, from the devil rays. They have a ton of outfielders and that makes crawford expendable. Crawford has tavarez's speed but he hit's a hell of a lot better. And since he's a centerfeilder, that Willy T speed will help him out when he has to run up the hill.Does Alex Rodriguez have a brother that plays for Detroit named Ivan Rodriguez?
