Miguel Tejada grounded into 29 double plays in 2009, after grounding into 31 in 2008.

As you can see, other than Dickie Thon, not too many stars have played at shortstop for the Astros. Considering I was young when Thon played, I learned a lot of Astros history in researching this post.

I enjoyed the challenge of the position, as I hope you enjoy reading it.

There were a couple other seasons that were in the running.

Here are some Honorable Mentions:

• 2006 – Adam Everett: .239/.290/.352/.642; 123 hits, 28 doubles, 6 triples, 6 HRs, 9 stolen base, 59 RBI, 3.5 WAR
• 2011 – Clint Barmes: .244/.312/.386/.698; 109 hits, 27 doubles, 12 HRs, 39 RBI, 3 stolen bases,  3.2 WAR

Now is your time to vote. We will post the results in an upcoming “All-Time Best Seasons: Team” article.
