However, the pitching side is pretty scary after Roy. I can only hope that Backe will come back stronger than he ever was and at least one more starter will be a pleasant surprise.
Better than he ever was is right. Many 'Stros fans seem to remember Backe being better than he actually was pre-injury. He has good stuff but is inconsistent as all Hell.
I like Wandy. He's freaking Roger Clemons at home. If he can learn to pitch on the road he'll be fine.
The Old Man (Woody) scares me to death every time he pitches. I have always hated fly ball pitchers anyway and he's not even a good one. He gives us alot of innings though.
