I haven't had a problem with the conservatism the Astros display with theire prospects. However, Hirsh is smoking hot right now. You have to see if yuo can take advantage of that. Buchholz is struggling right now. He made the comment last night that even he had no idea of where his pitches were going. Not exactly a ringing self-endorsement.

Hirsh has given up 1 er in his last 48 innings pitched. Give him a shot. Could he do worse than Taylor? Maybe. It's just as likely that he continues the hot streak. Give him a shot.
