As you can probably tell from my profile, I consider myself a die-hard Astros fan. I know the difference between hope and ignorance, along with the difference between expectations and reality. Considering those differences, here is what I think 2008 will look like for the Astros. *Keep in mind this is without injuries* Lineup/Stats: Bourne, CF: 275 AVG, 380 OBP, 9 HR, 62 RBI, 35 Steals, 12 doubles, 7 triples Matsui, 2B: 280 AVG, 17 HR, 73 RBI, 28 steals, 20 doubles, 5 triples Tejada, SS: 298 AVG, 28 HR, 104 RBI, 22 doubles Berkman, 1B: 311 AVG, 37 HR, 117 RBI, 30 doubles Lee, LF: 300 AVG, 38 HR, 120 RBI, 21 doubles Pence, RF: 330 AVG, 24 HR, 102 RBI, 29 doubles, 15 triples Wiggington, 3B: 265 AVG, 20 HR, 85 RBI Towles, C: 270 AVG, 12 HR, 55 RBI Pitching: Oswalt: 20-8, 3.04 ERA, 208 IP Rodriguez: 15-12, 4.12 ERA, 189 IP Backe: 15-8, 3.99 ERA, 172 IP Williams: 8-12, 4.97 ERA, 169 IP Chacon: 5-3, 4.24 ERA, 112 IP Record: 89-73 Finish: 3rd in NL Central Ranks: 4nd overall offensive club in NL 10 overall pitching club in NL Notables: Roy Oswalt: finished 2nd in CY J.R Towles: finishes 5th in ROY
