Meyers’ defense is good enough to justify him as an everyday player, as long as he is the team’s 9th hitter against righties.
I think so, although I won’t be shocked if one or both are traded. It depends on how the trade and free agent market play out. I don’t see any...
Rojas has hit lefties pretty well. That doesn’t make him a good fit for Houston as a bench/platoon player because their lineup is already stacked...
What a horrible take. If those are the additions then Houston will be rebuilding in July. I’d be fine with Houston signing Rojas, Kepler,...
Dezenzo has a really high ceiling and if he’s given the 1B or 3B job next season I will give the FO the benefit of the doubt, but until he proves...
I’ve read mixed reviews. I’ve only seen him play C in person one time and he looked ok, but didn’t make any notable plays one way or the other....
Austin Deming has hit HR in consecutive games in the Arizona fall league. His ops is up to a respectable .751. Collin Price has a .581, with...
If the Astros are looking to trade a star player away to improve their long term outlook, Framber Valdez would be the one I think makes the most...
As a blanket rule, it’s not smart to trade a hall of famer in his prime under multiple years of below-market control. Theres almost no chance of...
I’m weaving MacT’s comments thru the filter of some other info/rumors we’ve seen. The “this will be Pressly’s last year with the Astros” comment...

My free agent contract limits for who I think should be their top 5 targets: Bregman $160M/6yrs +7th yr $35M vesting option Santander $125M/5yrs...
Only 5 catchers in the league hit .260 with .330 obp this season (min 300 pa). C who can hit like Yainer are very rare. Unless you want Houston...
An optimist’s view of the Astros’ projected 2025 opening day minor league lineups: AAA: LF Corona: 20HR/30SB in AA in 2023, elite defensive OF on...
Good sign.
I think the most realistic contract Bregman might sign with Houston is $150M/6yrs with a 7th year vesting player option at something like $35M...
One thing I am seeing consistently in all our hypothetical offseasons is that assuming Crane is willing to go to the 2nd threshold, there is...
If Houston goes after Gleyber Torres it should be as a LF who can play IF in a pinch. I don’t really see him as viable as an everyday 3B.
In: Christian Walker, Brandon Lowe, Gio Urshela, Luis Robert Jr., Yusei Kikuchi Out: $110M, Chas McCormick, Victor Caratini, Miguel Ullola, Luis...
This is a good point. Also, Houston’s offense should (hopefully/likely) be boosted by full seasons from Tucker, Alvarez, and Altuve as well as an...
