Astros hiring Arizona’s 3B coach (who was also infield defense coach) can’t hurt with their potential pursuit of 1B Christian Walker.
The cheating scandal was huge. Without it, the Astros: Have 4 more high draft picks in their system (which likely means 4-5 prospects who fit in...
I think Pecko is the best of those prospects.

It’s not that hard. wRC+ is not perfect by any stretch, but it’s a much better stat than OPS when looking for a way to compare offensive...
With in-house players, Houston can trot out a lineup with these career splits (wRC+): R/L 149/123 142/132 167/166 TBD/142 TBD/132 127/103 96/114...
