In my opinion, these guys are the one’s with most to prove next season. They have talent but disappointed in the last postseason (with some bright moments) To me, the one with the most to prove is Javier. He’s got the stuff, but for some reason he couldn’t solidify himself in the rotation. He might need to with LMJ being a question mark and them needing another Starter.

So, I’d first like to say thanks to everyone who commented on my last few posts, you guys and gals rock. I’ll be getting a Sunset Navy jersey delivered soon and in time, the name on the back will be #13 Billy Wagner! So now here’s a different poll for the next one I should shoot for. Admittedly you might be wondering about the names, I wanted to pay tribute to the team while they were still in the NL (and one other who I felt had the best postseason start I’d seen in a while) So yeah, who’s next?

I need to specify I’m referring to the old three pitcher types in The Show 20. And I’m referring to the IRL LMJ Is he a Flamethrower, Control Freak, or Plain Filthy? I believe he’s a Flamethrower with heavy emphasis on his off-speed/breaking pitches, but I’m not entirely sure. What do you guys think he is?

I know I did a poll a day ago (Thanks for the massive response by the way) and I realized that I don’t actually know what the words obscure or forgotten means. So let’s try something different. I want to know what Pitcher I should get. I prefer relief pitchers because that’s what I’m trying to be.

Can be someone well known, obscure, an Astros legend, or a guy who only had a cup of coffee with the Astros but left an impression on you guys.

Some exemptions: Osuna… not happening. Morton because I already have his jersey (granted it’s a Rays one but still, he’s also mainly starter)

One rule: Has to be someone from 2000-2005 or 2013-Present. Fire away! Highest up voted comment is the one I get. I’ll count the votes on Nov 22nd.

Reasons for choices

Ken Giles: I might be the only Astros fan who legit misses this guy. Not because he was effective, but he was fun. Sometimes for the wrong reasons, but fun none the less.

Mike Foltynewicz: My favorite Pitcher, he started in Houston

Will Harris: We share pitches and pitching motion. That and he had an immaculate inning one time. We’re not gonna talk about his last pitch as an Astro, it sucked but it happens sometimes.
