Yep, as you can see I'm gonna try with the Houston Astros who are a team that are pretty average in this game. More postings later and the rosters are from 2009

Houston Astros ------Houston Astros------Houston Astros

This is a Houston Astros team that has hit the highest of highs and lowest of lows during this century. The highest of highs is making it to the world series against the white sox but the lowest of lows seems like now as the division has gotten tough and they are struggling to keep up with other farm systems. Led by Carlos Lee and Lance Berkman, the Astros will look to challenge the Cubs for the central and get over .500 while looking ahead to the much awaited draft in June. The Astro's will look for former 20-game winner Roy Osawlt to anchor the rotation along with new member Mike Hampton while Valverdae is looking to anchor the pen in his first year with the Astros.

Astros make flurry of moves before regular season
The Astros were trying to help their farm system today by signing free agents Brady Clark(OF), Joe DIllon(3B) and Humberto Quientero(C) to minor leauge deals while sending Felipe Paulino and Chris Sampson to AAA while calling up LHP Tim Byrdrak and starter Brian Moehler. Jason Micheals was also added to roster but was not listed earlier and Jose Cruz Jr. was sent to AAA




Edit players list

Oswalt(better)
Bourn(A run speed, D arm)
Pudge(C contact, C power)
Valverde(better)
Brian Moehler(B stamina)

He's probably not in it. I'm pretty sure he didn't play at all last year. He had a nice relief performance though today. :)

I'm confused...are you trying to play with the Astros as the 2008 team or 2009 team?

If it's 2009, like I suspect, then Oscar Villareal shouldn't be on the team. He was DFA'd near the end of the season last year. Also, as you may or may not be aware, Aaron Boone won't play a single game for the team this season. Keppinger was acquired as a result of this.
