Tom Kirkendall takes a look at the Astros season so far.
Average team... things to be hopeful about and things to be concerned about.
Jose Cruz is an absolute misery at the plate. Call up Brandon Backe to pinch-hit, dammit.
JR Towles is making Brad Ausmus look good at the plate now.
Mark Loretta is fading.
If Michael Bourn continues to bat under his weight, it'll be a test of Cecil Cooper. Garner failed the Jason Lane test. Cecil's going to have to think this one over really hard.
(Insert "Joe Morgan" rant here)
