Doug Rader was known for his defense and he was a five-time Gold Glove winner at third base.  Playing his first nine seasons in Houston, Rader did not always hit for the best batting average or on base percentage, but he did hit over 100 home runs as an Astro and 1,060 Hits.

A dominating reliever in his day, Billy Wagner would make three of his seven All0Star Games as an Astro, the team he began his career.  Wagner would accumulate 225 Saves with 1.039 WHIP and would finish 4th in Cy Young Voting in 1999, which would be the year he won his lone Rolaids Relief Pitcher of the Year Award.

Used both as a starter and a reliever during his decade in Houston, Ken Forsch was adept at both roles.  As an Astro, Forsch put together a record of 78 and 81 with 50 Saves.  He was named an All-Star in 1976 and in 1979 would lead the National League in WHIP.

One of the Astros better power hitters, Glenn Davis showcased six consecutive seasons where he cracked over 20 home runs.  Davis would have his best season in 1986 where he finished second in NL MVP voting and won the Silver Slugger Award.  He would have two other seasons where he finished in the top ten in MVP voting.  Davis left the Astros for Baltimore in 1991 via, and he would overall have 166 Home Runs for the Astros.
