As you can tell from the list, we have 20 members on the team. The major league limit is 25, which is expanded to a maximum of 40 after September 1st. Note that only the 25 (plus those on the DL) are eligible for post-season play.

We have five openings available. We could use two more pitchers (at least one left-handed) and two or three position players (preferably left-handed or switch handed batters).

Look for the keyword FRAstros for updates.

I would like to apply for the position of catcher. Everyone knows I get thrown curve balls. And I can bat left- or right-handed.

I like the idea of real replacement players. I have "had it" with the current set of prima-donna players. When they strike, I think that MLB ought to hire replacement players and never look back.

If MLB did that, yes, they'd have to lower ticket prices dramatically, at least for a couple of years until the replacement players become established and stars among them begin to emerge.

I can pitch (not bad for a chick). I'm a righty and can also catch.

I suggest you draft Illbay from Katy and during the 7th inning stretch we can watch Humidson assault him!

Also TWfromTEXAS can't run worth a damn but is a fine catcher and hits a ton.

Says, "I am the greatest, that is a fact...
but even I didn't know, I could pitch like that."
Says, "I am the greatest, that is understood...
but even I didn't know, I could pitch that good."

LOL, It immediately brought to mind this song!

HoustonCurmudgeon will bat second and play 3B. Strong arm and good contact man.

Is there a double meaning to this statement......You wouldn't be thinking...Strong arm tactics....no, never mind.

OF Sub???

I want to play SS. However, you think I would have learned my lesson after the coach was hitting hard grounders(PO'd after a loss) on a pot-marked infield from a previous rain and being knocked out on a bad hop to the chin.

Go FRastros!

I'll have to be content with being the FRAstros' No. 1 fan. I won't have time for practices as I will have other distractions this autumn. Began the journey last night. :) >
