As a fellow Astros fan, I'm thinking Biggio moves to CF if he can get new knees. They need to get rid of Hidalgo/Ward so he can play a decent LF. Definitely move to the outfield though. With Kent, I just wonder if that is a porno-stache or gay cop-stache? (from baseballprimer.com)
Well, it's a great move if they can keep Biggio in the infield. Is Biggio's bat good enough to justify his moving to the OF? With Craig patrolling LF, wouldn't the 'stros lack of production from that slot negate the upside of having Kent's numbers coming from an infielder? Moving Biggio to the OF reminds me of the Braves moving Chipper to OF. Chipper went from being the most productive 3B in the NL to an average NL OF, and the Brave's offense suffered. Now, Kent's a far far far better player than the player who displaced Chipper Jones, but Biggio's offensive production wasn't stellar for a 2b, let alone for a LF.
Next step: The Astros need to get Barry Bonds, so Kent can play well. Oh, and perhaps you guys should try and keep Kent way from his motorcycle.
I thought Kent and Bonds had a feud thing going. What was the deal with all that?
What was the deal with all that? They weren't best of pals, but Kent put up those huge numbers, in large part, because he hit in front of Bonds. When Kent was batting behind Bonds, Kent did not hit nearly as well.
Well lets hope that he is okay behind Berkman.
