The Houston Astros who crawled through a river of shizz and came out clean on the other side. The entire organization looks up in the air, rain beating down. Hey, Bus Driver, take the Astros to Zanwhattwonahwho, they finally called up George Springer! No, I don't know how to spell it! With a Z? For an organization that hasn't had anything promising since Billy Hatcher homered off a left-field foul pole, it's about time there's something to look forward to. They were downright depressing there for about seven years. Here's what I said this offseason, "In Triple-A, Springer had 18 homers after hitting 19 homers in Double-A. That’s not one year in Double-A and one year in Triple-A even though my syntax might lead you to believe that. He hit 37 homers last year in the minors. Hello, sexy, what’s your name? Do you like your creme de menthe on the rocks? Can I call you grasshopper? 37 homers is pretttttay, pretttttay good. I wonder if he can do anything else. *moves finger along his minor league line* Hmm, too bad he only stole 45 bases last year. Oh. Wait, come again? I mean, I just came again. 40-steal speed from a guy that nearly hit 40 homers? Yummo on that Thirty Minute Meal. Give me some Restaurant: Stakeout, my waitress is sexting her boyfriend during business hours! So, I guess his average is atrocious. Oh, he hit .311 in Triple-A? Yeah, I just had a fangasm; I have to change my undershorts. Is it all peaches and cream on this big slice of pound cake? No, there’s a K-rate that could portend him actually hitting .245 in the big leagues and I wish he were a year younger, but nothing is spelling D-O-O-M." And that's me quoting me! I lurve me some Springer and he's ownable in every league. My preseason projections for him were 52/19/71/.254/22, but that was with a full season at-bats. Now that he's missed about two weeks, I'd cut off a few counting stats, but not much. He could be a 20/20 player. Go get him! Anyway, here's what else I saw yesterday in fantasy baseball:
