Who’s started ok and ended up being ok overall?

  8. Why does he keep getting chances? Because the Astros know that one day, just ONE day, Jon Singleton is going to smack a ball into orbit and make every one of his 17 strikeouts worth it. Does he have a high OBP? LMAO, no. Does he strike out more than a kid playing against a team of major leaguers in a backyard game? Hell yes. But let’s be real—do you really want a boring, predictable player when you could have the Jon Singleton experience? The man is a walking highlight reel of mistakes, misfires, and missed opportunities that might just turn into a grand slam in the 9th inning with two outs and the game on the line.

    So, Astros fans, let’s stop pretending that Jon Singleton is a “problem.” He’s not a problem, he’s a lifestyle. You either embrace the chaos, or you let the rest of us enjoy the trainwreck. Jon Singleton’s name is in the hearts of those who believe in pure baseball madness. And if you don’t understand that, well… we’re not the same.

  10. Ken Caminiti. He was okay on the Astros, then went to the Padres and became a steroid MVP, then came back to the Astros and was just okay again.

  15. Going way back. Shane Reynolds. Guy was a workhorse. Never reached any degree of elite status, but never embarrassed himself either. Age just caught up with him but even in his last years he still kept going.

  17. Josh Reddick, above average defense, and went up to the plate and put up consistent average numbers

  19. Wait, Singleton is gone? Did I miss a memo?

    He was my Favorite Astro In Comfortable Pants™.

  21. How about Mike Lamb? Was a good but not great lefty bat for the Astros back in the mid-00s.
