I would definitely rather them add a top pitcher than another bat if they have to choose. But if they don’t add a bat, they are going to be in a...
Kwan projects to put up ~7 war for ~$20M over the next 2 seasons. Meyers projects for ~4 war for ~$9M over the next 2 seasons. Houston would...
Pickings are very slim on that one. O’Hearn and Polanco were 2 of the only free agents who fit the bill. Assuming Kyle Tucker and Cody Bellinger...
Yep, addressing the bullpen was a luxury going into the offseason and I’m fine with what they’ve done. I am surprised we keep seeing comments...
Circling back on my offseason checklist: 1. SP who can start Game 2 of a playoff series: NOT ADDRESSED 2. LHH OF who can hit in the top 5 of a...
I mostly agree with you. I would put the odds of actual lost games at <50% but a lot higher than 5%. But yeah the consequences of a completely...
Meh. $12M is tiddlywinks and there is a good chance a lockout will make it even less than that.
My current dream moves for the rest of the offseason: Trade SS Jeremy Pena, CF Jake Meyers, SP Spencer Arrighetti, and SP Bryce Mayer to...
I don’t see any way Houston would have held on to Ort past the non tender deadline if they had any concerns about his health. I just looked and...
Last 3-4 FA deals have been more reasonable. We might be entering the phase where prices come down as players get anxious.

Astros get: SP Payton Tolle 1B Triston Casas 2B Henry Godbout Red Sox get: 3B Isaac Paredes This trade is geared more toward the long term than...
He probably has a very small amount of surplus value. Houston could get a good return for him but they’d need to eat a significant amount of...
My estimated chance of each of Houston’s key players being traded this offseason: Meyers 55% Sanchez 50% Arrighetti 35% Matthews 25% Pena 22%...
Yeah, Melton seems to have a serious swing and miss issue. Which in my experience is the hitter flaw that is least likely to get fixed. That...
I definitely don’t know enough about the pitching to disagree with them. I am pretty sure there are a few guys in the system faster than Sullivan...
I don’t think this has been posted, here were Baseball America’s ratings for best tools in the Astros system: Best Hitter: Kevin Alvarez Best...
There is no international draft. There is also no cap on individual international signings (only a pool amount allocated to each team for...
Very possible, the A’s are doing the same thing and the Marlins are also poised to add payroll. If we see the Rays give out a big contract then...
