You know the marlins get tons of hate and bad press but nobody says shyt about the Astros
There on pace for there 4th 100 lost season in a row and there in a pretty big sports market
They haven't even pretended to get better and refuse to even call up there own prospects to save money
They have a few years their entire organization and team was stagnant
They dont have the money like Boston, NY to lure big name free agents and go for it.
They did the smart thing and cut thier entire payroll down to nothing but built up thier farm system
Houston unlike Miami has shown they are willing to spend money and try to compete year in and year out.,
Unfortunately they hit a wall with some terrible signings(Carlos Lee)
Best beleive they will get themselves into a winning position and not sell the team if they do win it all.
