Problems with Wilson
I'm still not sure why so many of you have a problem with the Preston Wilson signing. The Astros got him for cheap, he's got a good collection of tools and is likely to get better another year removed...

I initially did not care for the signing because I don't think we needed to add a 150k + guy to the lineup. And I am sort of expecting him to replace WillyT in CF, which is a drop in defense.But as...

If he's starting and Bags is starting, that pushes out either Taveras or Lane. I like both Taveras and Lane and think they have untapped potential that I would like to see us continue to develop....

The Astros stole Wilson for only 4 million. Look at the contracts of other outfielders and they got a lot more money and more years and they don't have the same resume as Wilson. Juan Encarncion got 3...

What I like about Preston Wilson:After the All-Star Break and as a member of the Washington Nationals, these are his splits when batting w/ RISP:.324/.393/.608There's just something I like about...

For the record i was the first to post the idea of preston wilson being a viable option for the astros. Back when sanders, nomar, burnitz, white, and the trio of weiner outfeilders where still on the...

That great season in Florida was a long time ago though. He helps this team in 2006 no doubt, but not nearly as much as he would have when he was 24-26.Right now we have to assume that Wilson is...

Why sit Taveras for hitting .270 when Wilson didn't do that last year?

I tend to agree with Richard Justice's blog:"Preston Wilson is a good addition. Period. Don't nitpick it. Don't try to figure out where he's going to play.He can play any outfield spot, he didn't cost...

"Why sit Taveras for hitting .270 when Wilson didn't do that last year?"Because Wilson hit 16 more doubles and 22 more home runs and since most of his singles make it out the infield if a baserunner...

I have doubts about Wilson being a productive player in Houston if he stays healthy. Yes he's a little redundant with with the high stikeout rates of everyone not named Berkman, but he still brings...

Quote:So I guess my only problem is the "if he stays healthy" part, which I doubt he will.I don't get why people are questioning his health? He has been hurt once in his 7 years in the Majors.
View ArticleRe: Problems with Wilson
Not only has he only been hurt once, but that clearly affected his performance. There is a good chance that he has healed, and he signed the cheap contract in order to prove that he was back to his...

Yes, I agree with everyone that likes the deal. At first, I was upset b/c that means that 2 out of our 3 OF's last year (lane, burke,taveras) are going to get the shaft if Wilson starts and Bagwell...

Okay then say sit Taveras due to not producing runs. Saying you sit someone just because of their batting average is lame. Do you sit Adam Dunn for hitting under .250?
View ArticleRe: Problems with Wilson
I assumed people would understand how important 20 points of batting average are to Willy Taveras' ability to contribute offensively. I should have explained myself better.
