When we've got Sapp....

"2006 first-round pick Max Sapp went 0-for-4 Sunday and is batting .129 for low Single-A Lexington.
At least he's walked 10 times in 11 games. Still, he's hitting .213 with one homer and 10 doubles in 197 at-bats as pro. He was drafted as much for his bat as for his glove, so it isn't a good sign."....

Maybe the Astros problem is like that song..."The Gambler"...by Kenny Rogers..."You got to know when to hold em, know when to fold em,".......

"Johan Santana was born in Tovar, Mrida State, Venezuela and attended Jordan High School, where he played baseball and soccer. Santana was signed by the Houston Astros as an undrafted free agent in 1995 but remained in Venezuela, where he was named the Tovar Mrida Athlete of the Year in 1999. Later that year, he was selected by the Florida Marlins from Houston in the 1999 rule 5 draft and then traded to the Minnesota Twins for minor leaguer Jared Camp. Santana made his Major League debut with the Twins on April 3, 2000, coming from the bullpen vs. Tampa Bay. He made his first MLB start on April 7, 2000, at Kansas City and recorded his first Major League win in a relief appearance at Houston on June 6."........

"Johan Santana was chosen in the 1999 Rule 5 draft by the Florida Marlins when the Houston Astros declined to put him on their 40-man roster.".......

What a stab in the heart. He beats his former team...at Houston...at the tender age of 21.
