CAMINITI Ch. 4 | "(Re)building"

Ken Caminiti establishes himself as a full-time major leaguer, and struggles to find consistency in his early career. The Astros consider trading him a few times, including once in a potential blockbuster deal with the Boston Red Sox. Caminiti's best friends with the Astros appear on the team, as Craig Biggio and Jeff Bagwell usher in a youth movement which leads to a sustained run of success years later. In 1990 MLB owners lock out the players during spring training, and while Commissioner Fay Vincent brings the confrontation to a quick end, the stage is set for the 1994 strike. Plus the Astros go on the longest scheduled road trip in decades thanks to the Republican Party (really) and pass on drafting Derek Jeter (also really).
