A fair value yet unrealistic trade I think would thrill most of the people on this board: Astros get: 1B Josh Naylor SP Merrill Kelly...
Potentially available bats who have hit well against RHP this season (wRC+ >120, min 100 pa): 1B/OF Ryan O’Hearn 1B/OF Pavin Smith 1B/DH Josh...
You know who he might be like? BJ Upton. Javy Baez with less defense might also be a decent comp.
Yes those 5 guys plus Leon are all missing so it’s not a big deal, mostly just a shame that the AA roster was so weak it wasn’t ready to backfill.
Walker went 1-3 with a bb last night. Yes he **** the bed in the clutch but if he posts an 800 ops every game all would be good.
Ort’s leash is shortening. 99 mph heaters are cool and all but not when you have such frequent melt downs.
7 of the 9 players in the AAA lineup tonight are scrap heap guys released by other teams. Brice Matthews and Kenedy Corona are the only actual...
If you’d told me this would be the mid-June lineup back in March, I would have thought Houston was tanking.
True, but if they’d made one of those moves one of those guys would be getting talked about as much if not more than Walker and would have been...
If I had to sign free agents for 3+ years, I would rather focus on younger players with bounceback potential than older guys trying to squeeze...

The Carlos Beltran and Michael Brantley signings were examples of the types of deals that make sense for Houston. It’s ok to sign old guys, but...
I don’t know if it’s a typo or not but DSL Orange infielder Pablo Martinez has his height listed as 5’1”. Five foot ONE inches. Damn!...
The numbers bear out that he is definitely pressing but has also lost a little ability. He is better than he is performing but he is not the...
All free agent deals carry risk. The bigger the contract the bigger the risk. Reality is a team in Houston’s revenue tier needs to be really...
Crane seems to have a fairly firm cap for any player around $150M. I’m sure under the right conditions he’d go slightly higher than that but I...
You know who might be a low key good super cheap LH 2B addition? Old friend Abraham Toro. He’s benefitting from some batted ball luck but his...
Pirates call and offer Skenes for one of Mom or Altuve. Who do you send?
