His first pick as a GM in <a href="/wiki/Mark_Johnson_(pitcher)" title="Mark Johnson (pitcher)">Mark Johnson</a> did not work out, although he would be used in a trade for .300 hitter <a href="/wiki/Moises_Alou" class="mw-redirect" title="Moises Alou">Moises Alou</a> in 1998; other choices would develop better. <a href="/wiki/Roy_Oswalt" title="Roy Oswalt">Roy Oswalt</a> was drafted by the team through shrewd scouting that resulted in a 23rd round pick in 1996; five years later, he would become a ten-year star for the Astros and be a key piece in the 2004 & 2005 teams. In <a href="/wiki/1997_Major_League_Baseball_draft" title="1997 Major League Baseball draft">1997</a>, he drafted <a href="/wiki/Lance_Berkman" title="Lance Berkman">Lance Berkman</a> in the first round. He would make five appearances in the <a href="/wiki/Major_League_Baseball_All-Star_Game" title="Major League Baseball All-Star Game">Major League Baseball All-Star Game</a> in his eleven years spent with the Astros. After losing <a href="/wiki/Darryl_Kile" title="Darryl Kile">Darryl Kile</a> in free agency to the <a href="/wiki/Colorado_Rockies" title="Colorado Rockies">Colorado Rockies</a>, he used the compensation pick granted by the move to draft <a href="/wiki/Brad_Lidge" title="Brad Lidge">Brad Lidge</a> with the 17th pick in the 1998 draft, and <a href="/wiki/Chris_Burke_(baseball)" title="Chris Burke (baseball)">Chris Burke</a> was drafted by him in 2001 as the tenth overall pick. He would also find some success within other rounds of the draft, such as <a href="/wiki/Chad_Qualls" title="Chad Qualls">Chad Qualls</a> (2nd round, 2000) alongside <a href="/wiki/Hunter_Pence" title="Hunter Pence">Hunter Pence</a> (who had not signed when drafted by Milwaukee in 2002) in 2004 alongside <a href="/wiki/Ben_Zobrist" title="Ben Zobrist">Ben Zobrist</a>. </p><p>The Astros would have their first 100-win season in team history in 1998, which notably finished with the acquisition of <a href="/wiki/Randy_Johnson" title="Randy Johnson">Randy Johnson</a> as a summer rental, for which the <a href="/wiki/Seattle_Mariners" title="Seattle Mariners">Seattle Mariners</a> acquired three prospects (<a href="/wiki/Freddy_Garc%C3%ADa" title="Freddy García">Freddy García</a>, <a href="/wiki/Carlos_Guill%C3%A9n" title="Carlos Guillén">Carlos Guillén</a>, and <a href="/wiki/John_Halama" title="John Halama">John Halama</a>). Of the three prospects, only Garcia made an impact for the Mariners, having two All-Star Game selections. </p><p>Notable free agency signings included players such as <a href="/wiki/Ken_Caminiti" title="Ken Caminiti">Ken Caminiti</a> (where he played 137 games in two seasons in the second tenure with the team), <a href="/wiki/Jeff_Kent" title="Jeff Kent">Jeff Kent</a> (best known for his walk-off home run in Game 5 of the 2004 <a href="/wiki/National_League_Championship_Series" title="National League Championship Series">NLCS</a>), <a href="/wiki/Andy_Pettite" class="mw-redirect" title="Andy Pettite">Andy Pettite</a>, and <a href="/wiki/Roger_Clemens" title="Roger Clemens">Roger Clemens</a>.

Ausmus would be a mainstay in Houston in two tenures that combined for ten seasons. However, not all of his decisions worked to his benefit; most notably, when it came time to protect players for the 1997 expansion draft, he chose to protect <a href="/wiki/Richard_Hidalgo" title="Richard Hidalgo">Richard Hidalgo</a> over <a href="/wiki/Bobby_Abreu" title="Bobby Abreu">Bobby Abreu</a> (he would be selected by the <a href="/wiki/Tampa_Bay_Devil_Rays" class="mw-redirect" title="Tampa Bay Devil Rays">Tampa Bay Rays</a>, who bizarrely traded him soon after to the <a href="/wiki/Philadelphia_Phillies" title="Philadelphia Phillies">Philadelphia Phillies</a>).

That year, Clemens would win the <a href="/wiki/Cy_Young_Award" title="Cy Young Award">Cy Young Award</a> (his seventh all-time) while Beltran tied the record for most home runs hit in a postseason with eight. The Astros would fall one win short of making the World Series, but Hunsicker's nucleus of players had reached a level that the Astros had not managed to reach before. He would step down as the GM for the Astros after the 2004 season, whereupon <a href="/wiki/Tim_Purpura" title="Tim Purpura">Tim Purpura</a> would replace him. Reportedly, he resigned due to being tired of McLane's influences on team management, and it was believed that McLane was jealous of Hunsicker getting credit for the success of the team, which extended to Hunsicker being a friend to lower management, as he had to push for McLane to start a 401K retirement plan and have the team office remain closed between Christmas and New Year's Day. Hunsicker even interviewed for the <a href="/wiki/New_York_Mets" title="New York Mets">New York Mets</a> job in 2003 with McLane being close to letting him go.
