Boston and Houston both need to do the same thing. To hell with signing big leaguers when you are doing much better with your farm systems. Look at the young studs both of these teams have. Holt and Shaw are proving they never had to sign that fatass in the first place. In Houston, they traded prime candidates for a dead bat Carlos Gomez, and the 10+ ERA of Ken Giles. Last year they got a regressing Scott Kazmir. With all that, I just shake my head when Vince Velasquez had 16 K's yesterday for Philadelphia.
