For reasons I am NOT understanding, the Organization thinks that Astacio is an ace ?! and so I would guess that Nieve, Hirsh or Buchholz is gonna get called up if anything happens to any of our guys or if Astacio keeps giving up HRs like Lima.I read that we were talking to Scott Eyre, who, by the way, is NOT bettern Mike Gallo.Waste of replica Gucci YA055507 Ladie's watch money.We SHOULD be lookin for at LEAST one bat…First, the Astros have raised the prices of almost every seat in the Box by $2 $3.The cheap seats have gone from $5 to $7.00.Sigh.Next, Todd Self was taken offn the Mets 40 man roster.
I see we don't want him back.We also didn't resign Mike Coolbaugh (our 33 year old A 3rd baseman for the past like 4 years and he signed a minor league contract with the Royals.No great loss.BUT, we removed Jared Gothreaux (RHP, gonna be 26 in January, picked in the 16th round of 02, just finished first year at A, had a cup of coffee 3.2 IP this past Sept) from our 40 man.I was surprised about that guess he's hurt enough that they replica Gucci 107 Silver Tone G Shaped Case WoMen's watch not worrying that someone else gonna grab him.We also released Charles Gipson and Carlos Hernandez, LHP.We added Josh Anderson (4th round draft of 03, 23 year old lefty CF in AA so HE don't need protection), Jason Hirsch (RHP AA Texas League Pitcher of the Year) plus 3 guys I don't recognise, Matt Albers (23rd round of 01,
will be 23 in January, just finished high A, has a high K rate, a 4.46 ERA and WHY are we protecting him?), Jimmy Barthmaier (will be 22, just finished his first year in the Sally league (A) 13th round of 03 draft, so he don't have to be protected, so why is he on the 40 man?) and Felipe Paulino (just turned 22, undrafted FA in 2001, just replica Gucci YA102506 Ladie's watch finished his first year in A ball, pitched 54.1 innings with a 2.87 ERA) to the 40 man.I hope I'm not wrong, but my understanding is that a minor leaguer doesn't have to go on the 40 man to be protected for 3 years after he enters the draft.Sorry, there's no up to date 40 man on the official Astros web site.
