Everybody under Flaherty. Bregman and Burnes will get near $200M. Flaherty will get a big contract. Pederson has a case for 3 years but will...
My current free agent top 10 targets (in order): Bregman Burnes Flaherty Pederson Verdugo Kepler Polanco Goldschmidt Santana Morton I do not want...
An optimist’s prediction for Houston’s current perceived weaknesses if they were to shockingly stand pat: 1B: Singleton, with an established role...
Pretty sure Hernández is currently asking for 4 years. He may end up only getting 3 but it’s not like Houston can just call up his agent and...
As the offseason starts to drag on I’m liking the acquisition of Paredes more and more. His versatility allows Houston to follow the market. If...
Arenado for $45M/3yrs would have been a good value provided Houston wasn’t sending any of their top 7-8 prospects to get him. I am slowly getting...
Arrighetti Aug era 1.95, Sep era 3.92. Clearly figured it out. Blanco era under 3 when taking out Jun-Jul when he was gassed. 0.75 era the last...
Current roster projects for 90-95 wins. People don’t understand how much last years 88 win team underperformed due to injuries and...
Astros can’t be in on Yelich. Too much risk he’s a DH only and they already have Yordan in that role.

Swapping Abreu for Casas wouldn’t be as good but would still be pretty fair. Ideally they could get Kristian Campbell instead of Romero but that...
Paredes would be fine in LF but likely below average in RF.
Pitchers and catchers report in 53 days. There’s ~60 free agents left who project to have meaningful roles on their next team. Gonna be a busy...
Paredes would be just fine in LF. And if there’s a good player at 3B and 1B I’m totally fine with a Dezenzo/McCormick/Paredes OF, especially with...
The Astros are playing the 1B market correctly. It is deep and there will be decent/good players who end up taking discounts to be guaranteed an...
Red Sox get: SP Framber Valdez Astros get: 1B Tristan Casas IF Mikey Romero P Quinn Priester
Pena > Volpe Altuve > Chisholm Yordan > Judge Meyers < Bellinger McCormick ? Stanton Yainer > Wells Dezenzo ? Dominguez Paredes > Cabrera...
That lineup is not scary.
Astros better at C, 2B, 3B, DH BP and SS is a push Yankees better at 1B, RF, CF, LF, and in the rotation If Astros add 2 bats they’ll be on par...
That 2nd year for Bellinger is a big risk. If Bellinger is terrible or hurt, he will be owed $52.5M/2yrs, if he’s awesome then he will get $27.5M...
