Everyone you like? You shouldn't like them

Keith Law, God bless him, is at it again, with an Insider-only post on general fantasy baseball questions. One asks about the "Astros," so here are Law's responses (click the link for the full piece - these are just quick pulls):

On Brett Wallace:
I was a big Wallace fan until a scout pointed out to me in 2010 that Wallace couldn't turn on the ball inside.

On J.D. Martinez:
Fans of really bad teams often overrate the least-bad performers on the roster, and Martinez looks like a classic example of that.

On Jordan Lyles:
I like Jordan Lyles as a long-term mid-rotation starter for Houston, but I don't think he's a high-strikeout guy for 2012.

Also, Jonathan Singleton, Jarred Cosart, and George Springer won't be impacting the Astros this season.
