3000 Hits

Craig Biggio picks up his third hit of the night to reach 3000 for his career. Two big milestones on the same day, much like August 4, 1985, when Tom Seaver reached 300 wins and Rod Carew reached 3000 hits. Congratulations to Craig on the milestone and an outstanding Hall of Fame career!

Now however, it's time to hang up the spikes. He's a shell of the hitter he used to be, with an OBA under .300. He's not helping the club, and it's time to go out on a high note and take a coaching or front office job.

How about Nolan Ryan's last no hitter on the same day as Ricky Henderson breaking the SB record?

Biggio will play out the rest of the year. It's not like the Astros are going anywhere, and they've got to have something to attract fans. Biggio's not hitting much but neither are many of his teammates. Pence is the only guy with an OPS over .870.

So benching Biggio would have at most a slightly positive impact on the offense. The Astros just don't have many hitters, period. You can't bench everybody.
