Although he never again attained a diamond sombrero (5 Ks in 1 game) or is it platinum I get those mixed up.He was supposed to be a great home run hitter and RBI man but he only knocked in 55 RBIs over 102 games hitting 4th or 5th and he only hit 9 home runs (the Astros “brain” trust had apparently expected that he would hit 40 something based on him being a RH hitter and the Crawford Boxes being only replica Longines L2.155.6.71.2 Ladie's watch away you know how well that worked out for Adam Everett… He was? particularly indignant upon being released at the end of July, pointing out that he was hitting .270 big deal.
He got the last laugh, however, as he was picked up by the WS winning Cards and got himself a Ring.He got 64 terrible ABs for them in 07 before going on the DL permanently.RH SP Taylor Buchholz one of the 3 pitchers we got for Billy Wags when Drayton, in a fit of pique over Billy having the effrontery to point out that replica Longines L3.650.4.56.6 Men's watch Drayton is a cheapskate when the going gets rough, ordered him traded, even if we had to take (gag) young players.Unlike the other 2 pitchers, Duckworthless and Ezequiel Astacio, Buchholz has some serious talent and the best stuff I'd seen since Roy-O debuted in 01.
He had had shoulder problems in the past, but was healthy for the beginning of the 06 season I thought he would eclipse Roy fer SHER he had 1 shutout and should have had another, if Biggio hadn't made an error on the last out, and then Phil pulled poor Buchholz and he got Francoed.He experienced shoulder problems in mid May and his replica Longines L2.693.4.51.6 watch exploded.Not sure whether he didn't tell the team or whether they told him to pitch through it and not be such a girl or what, but he ended up back in AAA and then traded off to Colorado at the end of the year.He had a superb 07 for them, pitching in relief, then developed elbow problems to complement his shoulder problems in 08 and was out for the 09 year with TJ surgery.
