How bad are the Astros?

The Astros have been terrible in the recent past.  In the last four years they are 126 games under .500 winning only 40% of their games.  The last two years they are 111-213; worst record in MLB for the last two years.  They have not gotten to the playoffs in 8 years while playing in a division with the Cubs and Pirates.  They even lost off the field because their main sponsor for their new stadium was Enron!  They also have an amusement park-like field with a hill and poles in the outfield - who does that?

The Astros are currently terrible.  They have easily been the worst team in baseball.  If anything they have the least amount of hope - at least the Pirates have Andrew McCutchen.  The 'Stros were the worst team last season by 9 games, only winning 34% of their games.  In the last four years they are 126 games under .500 winning only 40% of their games.  The last two years they are 111-213; worst record in MLB for the last two years.  They have no good players on their roster.  Their highest paid player - Wandy Rodriguez for $5 million - is on the Pirates.  I am a very avid fantasy baseball player and I have only heard of two of their position players and three pitchers - check it out. Scary.

They were terrible in the past.  In the last four years they are 126 games under .500 winning only 40% of their games.  The last two years they are 111-213; worst record in MLB for the last two years.  They have not gotten to the playoffs in 8 years while paying in a division with the Cubs and Pirates.

They are going to be bad in the future. Their current payroll is $20 million dollars!  That's nothing!  20 players in baseball make that much or more this year.  How can you be expected to win when four INDIVIDUAL Phillies (Ryan Howard, Roy Halladay, Cole Hammels, and Cliff Lee) get paid more than your whole team!?!?  At least they have the Pirates.....oh, wait - the Astros just moved to the superior American league this year and get to face the Angles, Athletics, and Rangers.  Good luck Atsros!
