Whats happened to the Astros?









Now that I come to think about the Astros have had the 1st overall pick for the past 3 years now. I know even though the payroll they could get most of the best free agents for this offseason we will see. Although who would want to go to the Astros, think about it. The highest paid player in the team (Forbes Reports) is THE Erik Bedard who is playing under a one year contract worth 1.15 million dollars. In this quote that Forbes explains "The Astros are on pace to rake in an estimated $99 million in operating income (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization) this season. That is nearly as much as the estimated operating income of the previous six World Series championship teams — combined." Wow. Was my original reactions there are so many teams in the MLB how pay their players more then what the Astros pay all their players. Not only that but the stadium cheapest tickets are at like $70 and their expensive seats are like $700 *. I wish the seating for the Yankees were this good.
