Stros gonna have some gas. 10 guys who could be on their opening day staff throwing 96+: Roa Brown Munoz Lambert Imai Abreu Weiss Sousa Blubaugh...
And Arrighetti with 6 ks with his velo right where it should be. I wish Javier had looked sharper because he’s the only key guy who hasn’t looked...
I’m getting pretty excited about how Houston’s pitching staff is looking. Brown, Imai, and Burrows have shown signs of dominance. Lambert, Roa,...
Just because it takes 5+ years to really grade a draft and I don’t think Brown has that kind of longevity. He’s done well in some areas and...
For years I have advocated for free agency to be determined by age rather than service time. Similar to how Rule 5 eligibility is calculated....
If he’s good he could play nearly every day, especially if there’s a trade. But even as the roster stands, he could be the primary backup at 2B,...
Because then they’d be giving out 6 extra 1st round draft picks almost every year. The incentive is in place to encourage teams not to keep top...
It’s a shame Brice Matthews didn’t make any Top 100 lists this offseason, which makes him ineligible for the PPI. It looks like he has a good...
If I had to guess, I think he’d be best used as a single inning RP who never throws consecutive days. His curve is still sick and if he could sit...
His velo faded a bit in the 3rd. Actually pretty discouraging outing compared to his first appearance imho. He was throwing cutters <90mph. Not...
Yeah I really have no interest in Houston drafting a pitcher in the top 2 rounds any time soon. Between the standard bust risk and Houston’s...
Free agency timeline for expected Astros 2026 roster: 2026: Imai*, Abreu, Okert, McCullers, Vasquez 2027: Pena*, Paredes*, Meyers, Javier 2028:...
I think Peter Lambert is 2 more good appearances away from making the roster; he has looked really really good. I think he might make the roster...
Great momentum for Houston’s top 5 position player prospects (Alvarez, Neyens, Matthews, Janek, Frey) so far this spring.
Players I would like at 17 or 28: SS Eric Becker 3B Ace Reese SS Rocco Moniscalso SS Tyler Bell SS Tyler Spangler Rembert is a pretty high floor...
Here’s a list of position players with experience in full season ball who have yet to get a plate appearance in a big league ST game this year:...
I like Allen and Unroe as a potential platoon bench piece. Allen is merely very bad against LHP (career wRC+ 82) whereas he has been unplayable...
Pavin Smith and Alec Burleson project to be significantly better against righties than Cam Smith, Christian Walker, and Jake Meyers. So in terms...
Some trades to round out the roster before opening day: Astros get: OF/1B Pavin Smith Diamondbacks get: 1B Christian Walker $22M Astros get:...
