This is really surprising to me with Brantley/Yordan being our LF and not having our best defensive CF (Meyers) yet.
The only move I can see being worthwhile for Houston would be to add a superstar position player, like we were rumored to be close to doing in...
Granted their age and prospect pedigree are much different, but would you say the Astros are more impressed/hopeful about Jake Meyers or Pedro...
And if he played like crap last year, wouldn't you be saying that's what should be expected as a 38 year old catcher? You can't just point out all...
Having a bona fide ace start every 5 days is such a damn luxury.
Yuli is back/never went anywhere. Spraying line drives all over the field like he's done professionally for 20 years.
Agreed, and he can allegedly play average to plus defense at CF. Out of options but team control for his age 27, 28, 29 and 30 seasons. And up and...
Is there any reason Enmanuel Valdez shouldn't be shooting up top prospect lists this season? 23 years old with a 1.023 OPS at AA batting lefty...
Wow, neither Pena or Altuve going on the IL. That's great news.
Pretty amazing stat. Honduras has one more MLB player than South Africa all time.
I sure hope so and not an indication Pena is out for a while.
Idk, I'll take our shot just 7 months ago starting the WS 0-0.
Astros starters' ERA so far this season: 1. 1.55 2. 2.93 3. 2.94 4. 4.40 5. 3.38 6. 0.83 Their second best starter hasn't thrown a pitch this...
Meyers could be huge. He's a couple years older than Pena, but it's almost eerie how we heard the same things from the Astros preceding Meyers'...
This team has good juju too. Dusty made an offhand remark after his 2000th win about this being the closest group he's been with. Seemed kind of...
He has rapidly adjusted to down and away sliders. In the Twins series, for the most part, he either laid off of them or stayed on them and drove...
Astros player development in the upper levels is magically connected to whichever position on the big league club has a pending free agent or is...
Brent Strom is a washed up geezer who was holding our staff back.
WAR is always a relative stat, right? So if offense is down across the MLB wouldn't a dominant pitcher have less wins above replacement?
