I'm happy they are winning, but once they start winning into August and STILL have a chance at making the playoffs I will be really paying attention. After last year, they will have to prove to me that they can win into August.

or he's dump like in 1992. Remember when we passed on Jeter in 1992? I think they were thinking about that and they don't wanna pass on another potentially "Jeter" like SS. I even heard a scout back then say to Astros, "Pick Jeter or you'll be sorry. Pick Jeter or I'll quit from yall....." He didn't get picked and he quit. 20 years later, 1 NL title and nothing else, when we could've had at least 2 world series wins already here......with Jeter............

They probaly would not have any World series' even with Jeter still.

Astros never fared well against the Braves the entire 90s. even when they added Randy Johnson and Carlos Beltran at trade deadline... BOTH played phenomenal... they still struggled those years to get past braves.

Jeter would not have been that push that they needed.

Plus, if you want to talk about bad draft decisions in hindsight... take a look at Longoria, and How many other 3rd basemen, not just players, but 3rd basemen, were taken ahead of him.

Ian Stewart, ahead of Longoria and Linecum both...

The pirates finally stopped trading guys. They've traded away Jason Bay, Nate McClouth, Xavier Nady, and Freddy Sanchez for prospects! Houston is going to be the next pirates. Trading away talent for prospects=19 losing seasons.

Naw, their young guys will probably get better in 3-4 seasons.

hmm, maybe 6 losing seasons at most? I alwats dreamed that somehow they (Astros) were able to have enough cash to get 2 key pitchers, that would lead them to a would series in 2025 against the Yankees.

Jason Bay hasn't had a good season since leaving Pittsburgh....

McClouth fell off the world. Xavier Nady is *not* talent. and Freddy Sanchez is a defensive liability and has had health issues. Solid trade.

The only trade that hurt was trading off Jason Bay. But all those trades have worked for the better for the pirates.
