Barring a slew of minor league veteran signings, it is looking like Houston might have to promote pretty aggressively on the infield and at...
Trying to sort thru potential trade fits, here are the teams that could really use a pitcher like Urquidy/Brown/Garcia: Blue Jays, Diamondbacks,...
Yeah looking at it again there are multiple reasons the Rays probably wouldn’t go for this. 40 man crunch plus they are deep in pitching. I am...
I think Altuve only needs 4 more good (4+ fwar) seasons to cement himself as the best Astro ever. He doesn’t need Biggio’s longevity because he...
It is a lot easier to go from 7 to 6 and 6 to 5 than to go the other way. Starting a season with only 5 good SP is asking for trouble whereas...
Astros get: OF Randy Arozarena 1B Yandy Diaz Rays get: SP Hunter Brown C/DH Yainer Diaz OF Jake Meyers RHP Alex Santos II
Yandy Diaz would be a good get. Arozarena would too.
If Meyers had gotten/stayed healthy he may have outperformed Marte. We will never know. Bad break for him and Click.
I have liked Omar Narvaez a lot for the last few years. I would target him or Zunino on a 1-2 year deal, as I think Contreras and Vazquez will...
This is a fair point; Lee should get benefit from being in the clubhouse with Maldy. That said I think he hopefully just needs a couple of months...
I think there’s a small chance Diaz could be a very good hitter in the big leagues next year. Whether or not he will get a chance I don’t know....
Nobody that I expect to amount to much. De Goti and Scrubb reached the majors and either one could resurface somewhere else. Bravo, Donato, and...
Imagine if Houston resigns Verlander and doesn’t make any trades. Their pitching staff would be stacked 13 deep, with 7 starters (JV, Framber,...

There is probably more downside than upside in this signing, but if Montero just pitches close to like he did this season it’ll be a good deal. I...
If that article is accurate then I think we can scratch Contreras off the list of Astros free agent targets.
That’s an overpay but no deal <$50M is gonna do too much damage. It’s possible that given the front office chaos Crane’s approach might be to...
I like Mike Fast but I do not think he is ready to be a GM. Not sure he has the right personality for that. Wouldn’t mind him coming back as an...
Most contracts allow someone to leave if it’s a promotion. So an Asst GM can take a GM job. Stearns was/is a President so he cannot leave for...
Click was a good GM who didn’t mesh with his owner. It happens. I think both parties overplayed their hand and thus will be worse for it; Click...
