So perhaps the Astros don't like me writing about them. Actually, I would be delighted if the Astros even knew I wrote about them, much less had an opinion as to whether said writing was likeable or not. I am getting this feeling because of their continued Stalin-like purge of my favourite Astros players. Today, Chris Carter and Hank Conger departed for other baseball destinations.
Most recently, Hank Conger was traded to the Rays, who have a history of liking reasonable offensive catchers. Coming back from Tampa in that trade was a young, unheralded prospect, Charlie Ash.
