There's a chance the Astros got a LOT better....

[Grinch]

WOOT WOOT!!

I never thought I'd say this but "time to go the extra buck on Astros pitchers"

Congrats and WELL deserved!

[OaklandA's]

Here's a short news report from the Houston Chronicle:

Congrats and good luck. Now that they are out of the NL I can root for them.

So do you get tickets to away games? I think you need to travel to philly next season!

to everyone else... play in the next vintage draft and someday you too could get a job in a baseball front office.

edit: Oh, crap, they are in the AL now... I guess I could make the trip up to NYC or down to Baltimore.

One of the comments below the article:

"well, baseball statistics are like a girl in a bikini. They show a lot, but not everything."

LOL

Damn you beat me to it. That was an awesome post.

[SlideRule]

That is super cool. I will definitely root for the 'Stros now, and I hope you'll still check back here to say hi every once in a while! Major congrats.

[Jefe]

It is true. And thanks!

That's amazing! Congratulations!!

[B-Fly]

Sweet!!!!

[Bodhizefa]

Holeeee crap, that's awesome, Seitzer! Good luck and God bless, man! Looks like my next ballcap may have an Astros logo on it (or whatever new name/logo they design).

[jackmadden]

Congrats Man

[joncarlos]

Hmmm... did I ever beat KS in a league? If so then I guess I should be the Astros' GM, right?

Congrats Mike!

[griswold]

This is absolutely beyond awesome!

I think every one of us who have ever "lived" here in our world at Rotojunkie has dreamed of this....myself whole-heartedly included.

And many of us (like myself) have been greatly impressed with the level of expertise that has been cultivated from this site.

But, none of us (until now) could ever say that we were TRULY LIVING the dream job of doing what we love and MAKING A LIVING at it in the REAL sports world.

Mike, you have my utmost congrats and jealousy, my friend. I'm sure you will make us proud!

Hey, just my admiration,

Gris

[revo]

wow, that's awesome. But really, anyone who has read (or rather, attempted to read) his work knows that he combines a brilliance about pitching that frankly, an idiot like me never even knew existed. That's great news, Mike.

[TopChuckie]

Congratulations KS. Can you give us a little information about how this came about, i.e. did you pursue the position, or did they see your work and come after you? If they came to you, how coy were you in negotiations, or were you like Kramer when he spilled the coffee on himself?

[Don Quixote]

Congratulations!

And boy, do you have your work cut out for you. Anyone with a modicum of talent will rise quickly in that organization, because there isn't much there now.
