"Depenceless" Point To Ponder


The Jason Jennings deal has left the Astros with a projected outfield of Lee, Burke and Scott. One converted second baseman and two left fielders. This defensively suspect trio COMBINED for 9 outfield assists last season - the same number (9) single-handedly achieved by the departed Willy Taveras. In the event one might wonder... Apparently Round Rock bound Hunter Pence had 13 outfield assists at Corpus Christi in 2006. For anyone not paying attention, Pence is hitting *.636 this Spring.

Phil Garner is standing by his Pence to Round Rock stance. Phil doesn't wish to compromise his reputation as the dumbest sucessful Manager in Astros' history. What was Jim Hickey's fault? Did he keep starting Wandy Rodriguez?
