Waiting For The Rocket
|
|

A lot of questions and uncertainties surround the Astros and their chances in the revamped NL Central, but none more than the status of the seven-time Cy Young Award winner, Roger Clemens. Will he, or won’t he be back in the Houston starting rotation? The Rocket may not know himself, but expect an entertaining bidding war between the Astros, Yanks and Red Sox. If he doesn’t pick Houston, it might be another October out of the playoffs for the Stros. Pete Giordano takes a look as ASM’s 30 in 30 train stops in Houston.

It's All Right
|
|

Two Reds outfielders, one an all-time great on the downside and the other an all-time great that never was, are making major adjustments in Cincinnati this season. For Ken Griffey Jr., sliding over to right field means the end of an era; for Josh Hamilton just making a big league club is a significant victory. Unfortunately for the two, the team they play for might be the NL's worst in 2007. Steve Schaefer takes a look at the Reds for ASM's 30 in 30.

Jason Bay is one of the best players in baseball, but stuck on the Pirates he's never experienced a winning season. That could change this year with the newly-acquired Adam LaRoche protecting Bay in the lineup and a quartet of young starters that could do great things. Eric Horowitz looks at the Bucs for ASM's 30 in 30.
