RS 708, 256/318/404It looks awful, but it could be the reality. We scored 712 runs, hit 263/323/415 last year.
Replace Wiggy with Blum/Boone, that projection is kind enough.
We may have healthier Matsui and Lee, improving Bourn and Pence and ... but I could take those numbers.
RA 851 This is crazy.
What is the difference between 08 and 09 pitching staff?
We have Hampton/else instead of Chacon/Wolf/else in one rotation spot. And they just project this "almost the same" staff will lost 108 more runs.
Astros did win 86 not 74, but if we take 712 RS/743 RA to Pythagorean, we won 77 games. BP didn't do a bad projection about Astros mathematically last year.
