And, No, Ullola won't be the guy who gets chosen to do the throwing. As for Smith, he is the most talented OF on the roster. That said, he needs...
I get this takes. My take is if Salazar is the starting catcher with the current projected starting outfield, this team could be playing with a 5...
This helps the team because every team will start a backup catcher 20-25% of the time, the Astros have a starting catcher who has regressed each...
This opens an avenue for a deal headlined by Walker and Sean Murphy. The Braves have Matt Olsen but need RH bats and a DH, as well as a backup 1B.
Quick question. If Paredes (or Walker) is traded, who backs up 1B? Caratini and Dubon are gone. I think Dezenzo must be on the team if a trade...
You mean strikeouts vs sitting on the bench?
I agree. I still think Nootbar is a great fit for the Astros but because of his surgery on both feet he will need to play in ST and prove his...
Astros get Lars Nootbar and Joey Bart. Pirates get Isaac Paredes Cards get Tremarr Johnson, Thomas Harrington and Jackson Nezuh.
The average of Fangraphs 8 projections has him at 2.7 fWAR in 2026. The average of Paredes' has him at 2.2 Cruz is making $3.3 M in his 1st year...
I agree with this. Pittsburgh is not a good trade partner. The Astros are not trading Paredes for prospects or bench/platoon players. They...
Except that role needs to go to a pitcher with options. If a starter goes 2 innings, and then a long reliever comes in for 3, that pitcher is...

You would think that but. . . The only changes ( besides health) between the projected position player roster now and last September is: lose...
The biggest difference I have here is that I thought none of the players on the 40 man count toward the 165, so thank you. What about the 9...
The biggest issue I have is that if you are counting on the majority of Paredes' starts to be at 1B, 2B, 3B, or DH when Walker, Altuve, Correa, or...
I have checked the rosters of all 5 U.S. based minor league teams, the minor league mini-camp roster, and the NRI invitees. It totals 172. If my...
Right now, 50% of CBT fines go to the teams who do not spend to the CBT level. The other 50% goes to player benefits and retirement. I would keep...
Meyers is a middle of the road CF due to a sub-par bat with no power, but exceptional range and glove in the field. Meyers would be a candidate...
He is young and still developing if not growing. It's interesting that Correa said that players having what they need to remain healthy and...
If Trammell makes this team, it will be a huge red flag disclaiming how badly Brown failed at building the outfield roster AGAIN. Give me more...
