1) Roberto Hernandez - I think he gets the gig based on experience and it gives the Astros further time to evaluate and work with guys like Wojo/Buchanan/Appel...although with Hernandez' visa situation beign what it is, then he might not be ready in time

2) Wojo - I would just like to see him do well b/c i have liked him as a prospect. His control has been a strong-suit, and he seems very projectable moving forward. Low ceiling, but a high floor kinda guy.

3) Chad Qualls - I think the job is his to lose. He will have to struggle in ST for Gregerson to take it. He has history with Hinch and has done nothing to show he isnt capable. Plus neither Neshek or Gregerson have an extended track record as a closer

4) Josh Fields - I just think it would be a nice player development story. We drafted him in the Rule 5 draft and then he became a great bullpen piece. He has the stuff, just needs to put it all together.
