The Astros have a lot of work to do and this is not the guy to help. The Asros are just two seasons removed from their first WS appearance and this is the direction they want to go in?The Astros have reportedly chosen former Phillies GM Ed Wade as their replacement for Tim Purpura.
Free agent middle relievers rejoice! The other finalist for the job was former Wade assistant Ruben Amaro Jr., who still works in the Phillies' front office. That the Astros are seemingly aspiring to duplicate Philadelphia's success should be of some concerns to their fans.
