Nah. I’m also fine with Houston not giving out 6+ year deals. There are enough lower tier free agents still in their prime age that can fill...
I would be just fine if the Astros never again signed another free agent over 32 years old.
I think most people came into the season concerned the offense was a bat short, but hopeful there’d be pleasant surprises; the opposite has...
Good comp, he does remind of Mills.
Those 6 plus Ort and either Dubin or VanWey could be an elite group. And like you said the rotation is in good shape if 2-3 of the mid/back/depth...
If he’s able to replicate last year’s overall numbers but with 25 steals instead of 11, he’s probably a 2.5 win player and a very solid 9 hole...
Updated injury timelines: Whitley is throwing his final rehab innings tonight and should be back in Houston’s bullpen this weekend. Ort is also...
Jake Meyers is on track to reach a career high in steals by the end of April. I don’t expect him to keep up his luck punching singles through but...
Dubon should certainly be traded this offseason if not non-tendered, he’ll be in line for $6M-$8M and he is not worth that at all, not when a guy...
RP don’t usually need more than a few rehab outings so my guess would be next week.
Cam Smith is already an adequate defensive RF and is well on his way to being a very good defensive RF.
I have never particularly enjoyed watching the last 2 innings of games where the Astros have a narrow lead, but last season and still this season,...
Who knows what will happen but I expect Gusto to stay up as insurance for McCullers, although I expect McCullers to be fully stretched out to...
They liked what they’d seen in Gusto, they figure that McCullers (or Arrighetti) will be back after 1-2 more rotations, and probably didn’t want...
Rodgers pinch hit last night.
He is somehow both underrated and absolutely not at all the kind of player I would give $100M to.
Quality starts thru 3 turns: Brown 3 Wesneski 2 Framber: 2 (has had 4 turns) Arrighetti/Gusto: 1 Blanco 0
You are probably right and I think Crane thinks as you do. The odds of Houston pivoting to rebuild are probably very very low. That said,...
The projections still paint this roster as a contender. Fangraphs has the position player projected to finish with 28.2 fwar and the pitchers...
I feel like the season so far has been a near worst case scenario offensively. Not only have none of the upside hitters broken out, but the 3 of...
