This team does not need “4 or 5 pitchers”. The rotation has been very good the last 5 weeks. Framber’s start yesterday was an outlier. They...
The way I look at it, the Astros’ magic number for “losses before the All-Star break” is down to about 10.
The Astros have had some great free agent deals that were key in winning rings. Charlie f’n Morton, for one.
I thought there was a decent chance they’d cut bait with Abreu today. If it doesn’t happen today we have to assume Abreu will be with them until...
Wow. Not a great look for Lady Luhnow. Even if it is true.
It would not surprise me if Verlander wants out. I assume he hates losing and does not want to spend any more seasons on a team not guaranteed to...
I am a big Jim Crane fan/defender, he’s been an amazing owner, but if they’re 8+ games out of the division and 5+ games out of the wildcard by...
Tenets I would hold, given Crane’s experience: No free agent deals over $30M/yr. No free agent deals over 5 years. No free agent deals over 2...
There is 0% chance Crane gives Tucker $250M+, which is what he will get from another team. Keeping Tucker for one more season in which you run...
Astros should not expect to make the playoffs. Going 59-34 over their remaining games (to get to 90 wins) is not realistic no matter what moves...
McCormick sure isn’t playing much.
If the Giants sell then Wade seems like the best fit there is. I also like Pederson assuming the cost isn’t crazy. I have pegged McCarthy as an...
I also think the way the rotation has performed over the last month plus the pending return of Garcia and McCullers has them very hesitant to...
As soon as his k rate dips below 23% he should be on a jet to Corpus. He should probably take Austin Deming with him.
If the season ended today, Houston would have a 7.8% chance of receiving the first overall pick in the 2025 MLB draft via the draft lottery.
He hits the ball on the ground far too much for a guy with no speed and who strikes out some. His power is elite elite; if he could somehow...
It remains to be seen how bad their payroll situation is. Abreu and Montero are their only surefire bad contracts, they are both 3rd tier deals...
Rooker for Leon seems fair. Rooker can barely play the field, but he is a fairly proven elite bat. He goes into arbitration next season so his...
I went thru an exercise comparing Houston’s organizational roster in 2015 (when they first made the playoffs and were deadline buyers, officially...
What is it about Alberto Hernandez that makes you think he is the 13th best prospect in the system?
