I'm not trying to win you over. I'm just letting you know how it is. They don't plan for Yainar to be the catcher for 12 years. Caratini is...
Better decent young catcher and fantastic 1B than great catcher and below league average 1B. I would expect at least some improvement for Diaz...
You debunked they moved him from catcher to extend his career? How did you do that?
Yes, that's why I said move Yainar to 1st if you can get a decent young catcher.
You have to wonder if his bat improves more taking the grind and mental aspects of catching off his plate... I would want someone who is a long...

I'd say if on the table, move Framber to Cubs for Matt Shaw and Moises Ballesteros. That's their #1 and #4 prospects. Both performed we in AAA...
That's why I said he should still catch some and they should find another young catcher who can hit some too. Think about what you're saying.......
Ok, enjoy your full time dh in a few years...
If he's the primary 1B. If they get a young catcher who can hit some it should be fine. I don't see them getting a big time 1B to sign cheap.
I don't disagree, but it would extend his career. What better bat would the Astros get at 1B via trade or free agency? My vision would be have...
Caratini is good, but he is signed for 1 more season. Playing Diaz away from catcher more will extend his playing career. Having a capable...
My goals: Trade for a young major league ready catcher, play Yainar at 1B and DH more. Rebuild bullpen using Whitley and hopefully McCullers. I...
Dumbest play call in Bobby's career. Stroud designed run and take your kick with no time left.
Would love to see Mccullers in the pen next year. Putting his stuff in the 6th or 7th before hitters see Hader will setup Hader for a lot more...
Again, it doesn't matter how they are ranked. Prospects are more likely to fail than succeed. The more opportunities you have, the better the odds...
No, I see all prospects being far from sure things. Prospects that are top 10 across all the league frequently fail. You're acting like someone...
Shaw was #13 in the 2023 draft. He's far better than Brice and more advanced. I don't even think the cubs would even part with him for Framber...
Fair points, but the cubs top prospect is a 3B. They could DH him but the potential value of Framber in their rotation could entice them. As you...
Cubs have a high prospect... Matt Shaw... They have Parades for 3B and Swanson at SS. He was in AAA last year playing primarily 3B. Hit .298...
