Astros Overhaul - Uzian - 12-14-2007 06:34 PM
The 2008 Astros are going to look a lot different from last years team. I am not sure what to expect from them at this point.
Traded or Released:
Adam Everett, Troy Patton, Chris Burke, Brad Lidge, Chad Qualls, Juan Gutierrez, Luke Scott, Matt Albers, Josh Anderson, Eric Bruntlett
Received:
Miguel Tejada, Geoff Blum, Micheal Bourn, Kaz Matsui, Oscar Villarreal, Geoff Geary, Jose Valverde, Jose Cruz Jr
*Only included players in this list who to my knowledge have played in a major league game*

08 Projected Lineup

well, i don't see how it can be worse, in fact, i think it'll be a lot better. Sure, tejada is a huge fielding dropoff from everett, but he'll hit well in that ballpark. Bourn and Matsui are so important, it's not even funny. They have the opportunity to set the table for some really great run producers.

Tejada cant roid it up any more so he is a 15 and 80 guy tops

i think he'll do more than that in minute maid. granted, camden isn't exactly a pitcher's park, but LF in MM, is a joke. I think he could drive in a lot of runs, especially if bourn and matsui get on base.
