...and yet they still signed injury-prone Colby Rasmus for $8 mil

Where was the low-balling then? Do they have a prejudice only against lefthanded pitchers?

The Astros can do business with the players however they see fit. It really doesn't affect me. If there's blowback because they lowball free agents or because they are stingy with payroll, that's a reflection on the front office, not on me or the team in general.
