Some former Astros news...
« on: January 21, 2011, 11:16:53 am »
Byrdak signed a minor league contract with the Stem. LINK

Valverde wins the Detroit version on Dancing with the Stars. LINK

Santiago said Valverde's secret weapon -- the prancing paunch on his 6-foot-4, 255-pound frame -- was the key.
"Valverde, when he got on stage everybody went crazy," Santiago said. "When he moved his belly, it was a typical Valverde dance, so it's why he win."

Probably Cabrera'd, but Troy Patton had trouble a couple weeks ago.  On the bright side, his BAC was higher than his ERA this year.

Agreed ... I saw him at RR and in his first start in Houston where he pitched 6 or 7 innings of great baseball against the cubs.  I have always been a fan even as he struggled, and I hope he pulls it together in Colorado.

That said, I don't think that mountain air will be too kind to him if he can't keep the ball on the ground.  If he gets a little wild up in the zone as he did for much of last year he is going to get hammered.

i agree. he has to be perfect to succeed, and that park will not forgive his mistakes.
