    Montero signed the big contract after the 2022 season, not 2021 when he did suck.

    It would be pretty amazing if graveman came back for the stretch run

    And to add to that, Penn Murfee as well. Isn't he supposed to be back around that time?

    Yes he is and if he can be effective, we might not see Montero as much if at all.

    He has never been very good for the Astros.

    look at the WHIP

    Better than Montero though. And FWIW, he has a 2.78 ERA for us. Way too many baserunners. For some reason, he has struggled mightily with walks when he has been here.

    Postseason career, all with the Stros:

    9G, 1-0, 11IP, 1.64 ERA

    1.000 WHIP, since you're concerned about that

    Also, in addition to his awful WHIP, how was Graveman with inherited runners?

    in the regular season

    Yeah. I just don’t trust the guy. Look at his regular season whip for the Astros.
