Chris Sampson Is the Astros Fifth Starter
All spring the Astros marveled who would fill the terminal slot in their rotation. Chris Sampson rode a ordinary spring to fill that position over Fernando Nieve,sennheiser headphones cheap, Matt Albers,MBT Moja, and Brian Moehler (who wound up in the bullpen). Instead it seems that the blot that was maximum in jeopardy was Wandy Rodriguez as the fourth starter. Wandy finished the spring so poorly he needed a solid showing in his last Grapefruit League excursion to discourage himself from creature demoted to AAA.
Heading into Saturday, Rodriguez had given up six escapes scampers (five earned) over his last 8 exhibition innings,hollister, including the 3 escapes scampers he gave up March 20 in a Class A outing. He was markedly better Saturday, giving up two runs on 10 hits with two strikeouts in 6 innings before a host of 29,551.
Wandy is probably working to be above a short leash this year because Nieve had a better spring than either Rodriguez alternatively Sampson, but will be heading back down to AAA Round Rock to begin the season.
"If he had truly scuffled today,wilson blx six one tour, namely might have changed our ideas,Birkenstock Isis Sandal," Purpura said. "We met this morning and variety of lined entities up and made kind of one A and B blueprint. And this is the plan that we chose."

VMy colleague Pat Lackey had some choice words for the WBC when Sizemore withdrew, claiming that not all the players take it seriously, which in turn affects the fans' interest level. And back in December, Matt Snyder took a stab at who would make up our ideal U.S. roster. Now it's time to take a turn at naming which players, like Sizemore, we're going to miss watching in this tournament.
