On that point, Bob, the one thing I'd look for this year is whether or not they make a move for to improve the club this year. For example, a one year rental (or not) of Cole Hamels or a similar pitcher. I think the Astros are going to stay around the .500 mark, which means they'll be in contention all year. From that standpoint, it is easy to see a Hunsicker-like move (i.e., Carlos Beltran or Randy Johnson) to fill gaps. In this case, probably a SP or another bat.

And if they did that, I think the fan base would get amazingly energized. Of course, it depends on who we'd have to give up, but it appears we have the depth where such a move would be a possibility.
