(X)- Disabled List

Whereas I once was concerned about the Astros developing "small" in stature pitchers -- it looks like there's no reason to worry; they've definitely got their share of 6' and 6' + pitchers in the ranks. It used to be that the only 6' pitchers I always thought of with the Astros were Shane Reynolds and Wade Miller, and NOW they're BOTH gone!
p.s. -- I think Dave Burba is also at the 6' mark, but not listed.
"Still fighting, screaming, kicking & gouging the Astros
(whether DR. PHIL Garner needs my help or not!)
to the top of the NL Central!"
