Around SBN: An Interview With Ryan Zimmerman


Read it and weep....

McTaggert at the Houston Chronicle says he talked with McLane and comes away believing that the Astros won't make a run at any of the major free agent pitchers.

http://blogs.chron.com/gamedayastros/2008/10/drayton_says_dont_expect_bigna.html

From his conversations, he believe the Astros' only big push will be to sign Wolf.  Apparently the Astros management believes Wolf for a full year puts them over the top. (yikes!!)

I agree with most of the sentiment here that the Astros have little chance of contending without a major addition to the rotation.  So, don't kill the messenger.

There is none so blind

as a “champion” who will not see…….

It takes more than pitching to win a pennant, but not much!

Leonidas: Before you speak, Persian, know that in Sparta, everyone, even a king’s messenger, are held accountable for the words of his voice. Now, what message do you bring?

Should have thought about that before!!!

Oh no

What are you going to do to McTaggert??

I hope there aren’t any convenient bottomless pits (with no railings) around.
