Lux for Dezenzo, Blubaugh, and Tredwell Heaney for Whitcomb, Mayer and Sullivan Playoff roster: SS Pena 3B Paredes DH Alvarez LF Altuve 1B...
Assuming the Astros will be deadline buyers, here’s how I’d group Houston’s trade chips: Tier 1: none; these are star big leaguers or MLB Top 50...
Looking at some of the pitchers who will be Rule 5 eligible, the 2nd half is going to be crucial for determining which guys need protection....

Interesting story. Late conversion to pitcher from catcher. Fb up to 98.
A lot. A ~105-110 wRC+ guy whose best position is DH is a AAAA player in the mold of Jon Singleton. A plus corner OF with the same offensive...

His velo is still there. I’m all in on adding CFM if Baltimore isn’t asking for much in the way of prospects.
Corpus has 16 players on their current injured list, including 7 infielders. That’s crazy. Their pitching staff is still pretty good, but their...
If (HUGE if) McCullers is healthy come playoff time, there’s a chance he could be a pretty dominant arm for 3-4 innings as a Game 3 SP, since at...
[SPOILER]
You sound like Dana Brown
When an Astros pitcher is returning from a serious injury, it generally takes 6 weeks from when they start throwing full throttle (2 weeks of...
Based on the Astros track record, more realistic expectations would be: Javier: late August 2025 Arrighetti: late August 2025 Garcia: out for...

~12% chance every time he takes the mound in a save situation.
