Houston, you have a problem

Attention fantasy baseball GMs: Beware of the Astros' anemic offense. Not only will it wreak havoc on your major hitting categories, but it will impact the big-name hurlers you snagged in the early rounds of your draft.

Yes, Lance Berkman leads the majors with 76 RBI, but after him, there's no one else to take advantage of in Houston's lineup.

What happened to Morgan Ensberg? Last year, the young third baseman had a breakout season with 36 HR and 101 RBI, but he's hitting a paltry .237 in 2006. Talent usually doesn't disappear just like that, so what's the deal?

The Astros received a lot of national publicity with the return of Roger Clemens, but all that attention makes it that much clearer that this team - no matter how good their pitching staff is - is going nowhere fast unless GM Tim Purpura makes a move for a quality bat.

Looking to add some power, the 'Stros picked up Preston Wilson prior to the 2006 campaign, but he's been a complete bust so far with just eight longballs and 77 strikeouts against 16 walks.

Despite his early struggles, Brad Lidge will still get his fair share of save opportunities, and you can still expect plenty of strikeouts to flow out of his right arm. So don't be so quick to try to move him, unless the deal is just right.

Houston's "Big Three" - Roy Oswalt, Andy Pettitte, and Clemens - will all put up strong numbers with low ERAs and plenty of quality innings, but if it's wins you're looking for, look somewhere else.

Just like last year when The Rocket led the N.L. with a 1.87 ERA, but only had a record of 13-8, Oswalt is experiencing a bit of deja vu with the dire lack of run support from his offense. This most certainly puts Houston's dreams of reaching the World Series again in severe jeopardy, and it could spell doom for your fantasy team as well.

Be afraid, knuckleheads; be very afraid.
