I'm ok with that- I like Preston's attitude and I think he fits into the locker room very well, but Luke isnt going to want to give the spot back. Might as well see what we can get.

If he's cool with it, I'd keep him around as a power bat off the bench. That said, if you're going to keep him, they need to get him some ab's. Scott should definitely remain in the lineup. Willy T is...

With RISP and RISP/<2out, Wilson is hitting .304 and .340, which is second best on the team behind Berkman. In my mind, that would make Wilson the top choice as a pinch hitter with a scoring...

That is a good point about the playoff roster, Amy. I suppose the Astros have some time to try and figure it out. Maybe there will be a trade before Aug. 31. In retrospect, recalling Lane from Round...
