]]> One thing that has immediately stuck out about our new general manager is his openness and directness to many difficult questions. Tonight was no different, Jeff Luhnow was on Astroline with Alyson Footer and Milo Hamilton and discussed a number of different topics along with taking calls from Astros’ fans.
