The fact that the Astros had their best offensive players at premium defensive spots up the middle was a huge advantage in building a roster....
It's the Morey playbook. Houston should be used to this by now.
I think the language was pretty vague and he never said the R word.
You may as well say, “My honest assessment is that Chas McCormick is going to be the Astros best player next season. I am no more likely to be...
Not only that... Correa was the first prize of the Luhnow rebuild. The payoff for intentional tanking in 2012 was the #1 pick. Three years of...
If you're going to play someone out of position, never go up in difficulty. SS > 2B or 3B > 1B. CF > RF > LF. And up the middle defense is...

Nah bro, his bat is trash. Forget his 56 postseason RBI (6th all time) and 18 home runs (7th all time). Anyone can do that. Like the man said,...
You got lucky this week! See you in the playoffs.
