For over three years people on this blog have complained that the Orioles have lacked a true ace for years. At some point two seasons ago, many believed that Jeremy Guthrie might be the closest this team has had since the migration of Moose and were rebuffed by a subpar performance this passed season. The reality is this team has two, maybe three, aces in the making in Chris Tillman and Brian Matusz...

Are you ready to be a champion? You are? I hope you know that championships are expensive, and, uh, well, the local baseball team is in kind of a bind. Drayton McLane's net worth is still above $1 billion, but it'll go down fast if he starts throwing sawbucks at these ballplayers. Oh sure, he could raise the payroll a bit and considering it an investment in the future. If the Astros got back to respectable,...

Observations: 1. So now the Series goes back to New York, with the Yankees leading 8-6. Unless Joe Girardi summons Chad Gaudin to the mound, the Yankees' starters both will be working on short rest. Since the 2004 NLDS (when Roy Oswalt beat Jaret Wright), starters in the post-season working on short rest are 0 and 7. The record for starters working on short rest since 1999 is 9-28. The edge on this...

More photos » by Dino Vournas - AP Roy Oswalt, in a rare good mood Browse more photos » To lead off the starters section, I wanted to focus a little on Roy Oswalt . The soon-to-be 32-year old had his worst season as a professional, but was that a sign of aging and decline, or just a bump in the road? His BABiP shows he wasn't unlucky in 2009 and was right in line with his career average....

Drayton McLane Houston Astros P.O. Box 288 Houston, TX 77001-0288 You might be able to make a difference. You can vote for hope and change. Yes, we can. Do you want to do the right thing? Sure you do. It may be a close call deciding who'll manage the Astros in 2010. It could come down to the smallest things. That's why I'm asking you to do your part. I'm asking you to sit down and write Drayton McLane...

Before I hop into the links - we want to highlight the writers around the internet getting us through the post-season - let me just say that yesterday's performance by Pedro was nothing short of astounding. He kept the Dodgers off balance all day long, and carried himself with the same bravado that always characterized his pitching style. He backs down from nobody. It might not be 1999 anymore, but...

Assorted rumblings from around the majors... Former MLB manager Ned Yost tells MLB.com's Alyson Footer that he thinks the Astros are just one starter away from having a quite a good rotation. (Footer agrees.) At the moment, the Astros have Roy Oswalt, Wandy Rodriguez, Brian Moehler, Bud Norris and Felipe Paulino. As Howard noted earlier, Yost is a candidate to manage the Astros next year. Former Nats...

The Houston Chronicle's Richard Justice has a five-point plan to solve the Houston Astros' problems -- or at least to point the team in the right direction. Here are some of his ideas: Bring Jose Valverde and LaTroy Hawkins back to the bullpen. Focus on pitching and defense, which would mean installing players like shortstop Tommy Manzella, second baseman Edwin Maysonet, and catcher Jason Castro (a...

I've gotten lots of mail about my column advocating the hiring of Jim Fregosi. I'd guess about 75 percent of it is negative. The Astros are going to get a competent manager, and no matter who it is, he'll be a huge upgrade from Cecil Cooper. Manny Acta is as nice a man as you'll ever meet and proved in Washington that he can handle even baseball's toughest job with grace and dignity. He's the whole...

Drayton McLane has said the Astros won't trade Roy Oswalt and Lance Berkman unless they ask to be traded. His thinking is to keep adding, to reshape the club and to hope for improvement and maybe even respectability in 2010. Defensively, the Astros could be dramatically better in 2010. Tommy Manzella will make plays Miguel Tejada can't even think of making. He's not going to provide the same offense,...

Brian Moehler began the season pitching on a bum knee and ended it on a bum knee. As Brian McTaggart pointed out, those four bad starts inflated his ERA. The Astros picked up his $3-million option for 2010 on Tuesday, and it's the right thing to do. In 2007-2008, he was healthy and a very decent back-of-the-rotation starter, going 12-12 with a 4.42 ERA in 26 starts. He didn't get deep enough into...

If I had a guess, I'd guess that Dave Clark isn't going to be the manager when the Astros go to Kississimmee in February. Nor will Tim Bogar be the man. Or Ted Simmons or Jeff Bagwell or Craig Biggio. I'm guessing the Astros are going to hire someone with big league managerial experience. If the Marlins fire Fredi Gonzalez, he probably becomes the frontrunner for the job. Bob Melvin would be an excellent...

Considering the Astros had the oldest Opening Day roster in the Major Leagues and didn't add any impact players via free agency in the offseason, general manager Ed Wade knew a lot of things would have to go right for his team in 2009. Wade couldn't have envisioned injuries decimating his bullpen, team leaders Lance Berkman and Roy Oswalt having subpar seasons or even clubhouse dissension, which helped...
