Will Walk: Greetings from Central Florida
Tuesday, March 15, 2005
Greetings again from the Astros camp in central Florida.
With reference to Brian McTaggert's article in this morning's (3/15/05) Chronicle, we would like to offer some advise to GM Tim Pupura that perhaps would help solve two of his question marks that continue midway through Spring Training.
Why not name Craig Biggio as the fifth starter allowing (Willy) Taveras, (Jason) Lane and (Chris) Burke to play everyday like they should be.
Manager (Phil) Garner has played in the era when only four starting pitchers were needed and most of them went deep into games, often registering complete games.
There's not enough time left in the entire season to find a firth starter.

Greetings from Central Florida where the Astros were given the day off by Manager Phil Garner. Given the state of the current roster, I would think that everyday should be a work day.
The local paper reported that Manager Garner was taking his grandchild to Disney World. Perhaps he is recruiting for a few Mickey Mouse players. They can't be much worse than the current non-roster invitees.
