I think there’s a very real chance Smith is optioned to start the season. I also think there’s a good chance that Matthews makes the roster....
I just don’t think this front office is very good at evaluating free agents. Maybe nobody consistently is. But I’d rather Houston manage their...
Yep, with Walker my main issue is that 1B is VERY easy to fill with a relatively capable player for very cheap. Even outside of lowering the risk...
I think the situation plays to Dana Browns strength which is scouting young players. If he can figure out which one to ride in spring and it pans...
He has become somewhat of a forgotten man but he’s a pretty high ceiling player. 75th percentile bat speed and easy plus exit velo. He has an...

Frey and Alvarez seem to be the prospects on the hype train this spring. Not hearing as much about Neyens.
No he wasn’t. He only played 489 career innings in CF. He had negative UZR in LF in the entire 2nd half of his 8 year career. He lost his range...

Any significant bad news from Yordan or Hunter is probably curtains on Houston’s season (and potentially the final nail in the coffin of the...
Not really. Neither guy is likely to be an impact player. Vasquez raises the floor a bit but even if Diaz were to get hurt and Vasquez played...
Astros likely need to pick up ~5 wins over last year to win the division. Here's the break down by position: C: last year Diaz, Caratini, and...
