That would have been weird, King Felix to the Astros!

Go to add-on central and download the 2014 All-In-One mod.

I am trying really hard to be patient. I want to try and develop my guys as much as I can.

I really hope Correa is ready to play soon so I can move Villar for a quality pitcher.

Yeah, I was also offered David Price or Jay Bruce too. Really hard to pass those guys up but it's just not realistic right now since I'm more than just one player away from doing well.

What are your league's trade settings? There seems to be a lot more April/May trades than in real life

It was on average, just turned it down to low. I agree with too many trades.

Asher Wojciechowski to make first career MLB start

Struggling SP Scott Feldman was placed on waivers and sent down to Oklahoma City (AAA). Feldman's record stands at 1-5 with a 5.67 ERA. Due to these struggles the Houston Astros have called up 25 year old Asher Wojciechowski. "Woj" as he is known by his teammates will make his first career start in the big leagues when the Astros host the Chicago White Sox on May 16th. Wojciechowski was 4-0 with a 1.48 ERA in Oklahoma City. He has pitched 2 innings in relief this season for Houston in his only MLB action to date.

One bad pitch cost the Astros in their 4-3 loss to the White Sox. Chicago slugger Paul Konerko hit a three run bomb off of rookie Asher Wojciechowski in the 5th inning which proved to be the difference in the game.

Other than that single pitch it was a decent game for Woj, as he pitched 8 innings with 4 runs, 9 hits, 2 walks and struck out three.
