- Tag goes through what the Astros brass plans to do for the draft, in my opinion, AstrosAndy's previews have been way more informative.
- Roy Oswalt has been unlucky so far according to Derek Carty.
- JJO had an interesting enough conversation with Miguel Tejada.
- Remember Chad Qualls? Apparently he's got quite the skill set.
- The Astros medical staff deserves a round of applause.
- Richard Justice demonstrates why it is that understanding what drives conventional statistics is very important.
- Mmmmmmmm, there's nothing like starting your day by getting a well written and thorough explanation about sample sizes.
- This literally made my jaw drop. There's more to the shocking stuff than just this subject, but wow:
"We have to make a stronger investment and smarter picks in the draft," McLane said. "You’ve got to invest in young talent. To do that, you need patience, and that’s hard for me."
"From my business training, you want results very quickly," he said. "That doesn’t always happen in baseball. We spend $4 million to $6 million in the draft every year, but we haven’t always made good decisions."
Hopefully these will help you forget the horror that was watching Wandy's luck finally run out.
