I will be shocked if Suarez signs with Houston. Hes a surefire QO candidate and will likely get $150M+. Hes only 30 and is coming off a 4 win...
Fangraphs updated their top 100 prospects list today. Looking at that list and the teams that might be in the market for a SS this offseason,...
I was a freshman in college in 1999 and we had Ken Griffey baseball on N64 that we wore out. Getting an accurate 25 man roster with Randy Johnson...
I would give up those 4 prospects for 2 years of prime/enhanced Gerrit Cole in a heartbeat. And I know you preemptively told me to go ****...
As long as Houston is counting on <200 ip TOTAL COMBINED from Arrighetti, Alexander, Gordon, McCullers, Wesneski, Blanco, and Walter, I think...
I am bad at the maths
Yes. It remains to be seen whether they actually went over, I have seen conflicting reports. The Correa trade was complicated from that...
They made 2 major moves last offseason between trading Tucker and signing Walker.
I have repeated this a bunch but I just want Houston to follow the market. If other teams want Walker, then make that move. If they want to...
I am pretty confident that Paredes can play 2B. Even if he’s really bad there, they’ll be able to find enough playing time for everybody, even if...
Yes, absolutely. That’s a really hard thing to predict though. I would suspect Houston would be a lot less anxious to trade Walker if they...
I am putting a LOT of weight on the 2026 draft and Dana Brown’s scouting. I will be crushed if Hunter Brown doesn’t finish top 3 in the CY or...
I have read a bit about this and it is far from clear, but my understanding is that guaranteed contracts are not paid during the lockout but the...
Yeah it definitely puts 2028 at risk of being a reset/rebuild year. But the 2028 roster would still feature Brown, Alvarez, Correa, Diaz, Altuve,...
I am of the opinion that by the end of next season Houston will have one of the 10 best farm systems in baseball when only evaluating High A and...
The Astros have consistently fielded one of the highest payrolls in the league. “Paying for talent” is not the answer, and they’ve already been...
Here’s a roster I would consider a dream: 2B Donovan* 1B Paredes DH Alvarez 3B Correa SS Pena LF Altuve C Diaz RF Smith CF Meyers Bench: Urias,...
It’s fair criticism that the Astros whiffed on their top picks for the 4 year stretch from 2016-2019. That failure was exacerbated by losing...
I mainly just want Houston to follow the market. They have a deep roster which gives them a lot of flexibility. Dana Brown has a big opportunity...
Sure feels like averaging 153 hits per season for 4 more seasons is a really tall ask for Altuve over his age 36-39 seasons. I think if he gets...
