Who is the greatest Astros closer of all-time?
With Brett Myers headed to the closer role, it’s time to stroll down memory lane and re-visit some of the Astros’ closers of years gone past. The Astros have had some pretty solid closers through the years, from Joe Sambito to Jose Valverde. In between, there were guys like Doug Jones, Billy Wagner, Octavio Dotel and Brad Lidge.
So, that begs the question…
Brian McTaggart
Wagner….not even close!
Wagner no question.
Wagner, by far. Imagine if he had stayed with us and not abandoned ship to Philly/NYM.
Wagner made sure to voice his opinion of Drayton, and at how he though the team was being (mis)run. Too bad before we acquired Clemens and Pettitte after he left though…
