Even with a crummy outfield and a shallow pitching staff, the roster is very likely better than the last 2 seasons (2023-2024). This roster is...
Absolutely. Bregman needs to take the maximum guaranteed money he can get this week. He already “bet on himself” by rejecting extension offers...
Stumbled across this video from Ethan Wagner, Houston’s sole HS draftee from the 2024 draft: [MEDIA] Kid seems jacked. He’ll be one to watch...
The alternative is to leave him as a SP, which requires a much longer ramp up timeline and is much more damaging to the team when he gets hurt again.
Probably not but at least when he gets hurt they won’t be scrambling to fill a rotation spot.
Locks (assuming Pressly is traded, Javier/Garcia/McCullers/France/Sousa are injured, and they don’t add a pitcher) (6): Framber Brown Blanco...
Houston’s AAA depth is in much better shape now than it was this time last year but if Garcia and McCullers aren’t ready by opening day then...
That really sucks.
If the dude’s mom is on the internet talking about “if the Astros put him back in the closer position”, which everyone knows is not happening, it...
He played 147 games last season and now it comes out he was worn down and hobbled for the playoffs and some thought he’d need surgery. (He may...

I think Montero is a wild card. The Guardians just traded Myles Straw, who they’d previously DFA’d and outrighted, in a salary dump. I am not...
If that’s it then it’ll get done. Cubs have no closer.
Those numbers are based on quite a few assumptions from minimum salaries for 26 man pre-arb guys to 40 man salaries to player benefits among other...
It’s hard to find a match for why Houston would be moving salary if they weren’t planning on resigning Bregman. LHB making >$5M that might be...
Yikes!!!!! Pfffffffffft. Dubon can hit lefties and play OF. And McCormick and Pena mash lefties so the need for another OF to hit LHP well is...
So your whole rant is about 10 games of the backup C playing 1B. What a waste of time.
If your whole premise is that my estimates are “ridiculous” because you think all those guys will play ~140 games instead of 130, that’s picking...
Ok so now we’re picking nits over 10 games. Nice.
Not sure what crawled up everybody’s ass. You can go look up how many games each guy has average over the last few years and 130 is a pretty...
