Hunter Pence has now extended his hitting streak to 18 games after two hits last night against the St. Louis Cardinals. Pence has been huge for the Astros all year, hitting .314 and 8 homers with 44 RBI.
He's been probably one of the most underrated outfielders so far this year, in my opinion, and also one of the most consistent.

Astros are up against Jaime Garcia tonight. Possible chance of it stopping at 18. I hope not though.

Be honest. How much longer will he be with the Astros?

It is hard to say but if they are going to re-build they need to do it around someone and he seems best fit for that. Originally Posted by Mudge

a lot is up in the air based on the new ownership. The Astros have never been an organization that has shied away from paying their guys. The only reason we saw the dump last year was b/c Drayton was trying to trim the fat and maximize profit when he sold the club. Who knows what Crain will do as owner. I'm sure he wants to keep someone as marketable as Pence. At leats that's what i would do. Originally Posted by Mudge

The streak is now at 19 games. Pence came up with a triple to extend the streak. He also picked up an RBI and scored a run.

Pence is (more or less) local, which suggests that Houston would have as good a chance as anyone to sign him.
