Heard something on AstrosDaily about Rocket on the Dean & Rog radio show the other day. Apparently he's already started his workouts. He was eating dinner one night when his hamstring cramped up on him... he started screaming, and his boys thought he was choking on his food so they started performing the Heimlich manuever on him. Hahaha.

Which player do you think will exceed expectations this year? Your choices are:

Ausmus
Bagwell
Duckworth
Ensberg
Everett
Lane
Qualls

Ensberg, definitely. Anyone who puts up a 907 OPS over 385 AB's in 2003 is no fluke, and he's definitely better than he showed last year. I'd really like to see him hit 2nd again; batting Everett 2nd would almost certainly mean a fair amount of sac bunts, although not possibly as many as Jimy made him do.

I think (and hope) that Everett can post a .350 OBP, so I'll go with him 2nd.

Oh, and if you're 'screaming', you're probably not choking on food, since you can still breathe. Dumb kids.
