I think it's time to pump the brakes on Garcia opening the season in the rotation. My guess is Framber-Brown-Blanco-Spaghetti-rookie rotation on...
Altuve got more hits last year than he had in any season since 2017. I don't think a 185 pace is realistic for 2025. His pace 2018-current is...
I think this is right. I think Tuck has the talent but not the drive. Rest were very good but sub-HOF. Altuve has fallen off the pace for 3000,...
Melton had a down year in the minors last year and dropped off the top-100 lists. Cam Smith has barely played above A ball. I don't think you...
A roster left with giant holes in the entire OF, SS, the top of the rotation, and the back end of the bullpen is not a quick turnaround team in...
Hopefully teams don't ever pick up on the one weird trick to beat the Astros by starting their 4 RHP and skipping the lefty.
I feel like the Astros organization produces a lot of swing for the fences types these days. Joey Loperfido types. The question is whether they...
I agree with that. It does make me wish they'd just kept Heyward for that role. He's a good defender and a lefty bat. Signed for $1m. Had...
Great, he's an overpaid strong side of a LF platoon. He's certainly be an outfield upgrade, but you can't play him against lefties. He's also...
Would you believe Yoshida is due $56m for the next three seasons and had the same OPS+ as Caratini last season? And he's a bad fielder. I'd...
I have high hopes for Dezenzo. But he had a .648 OPS last year with the big club while striking out 33% of the time. We're slotting him in the...
I was fine losing Pressly when it was part of finding money to sign Bregs or another bat. If it was just a salary dump, I’m less excited.
Among the top 10 all time in postseason home runs, runs, and RBIs. I'll miss his ABs and his fielding. Feels like the end of an era.
Our team went into last season with a healthy Tucker and McCormick coming off a very good 2023. Abreu was bad in 2023 but had a really good...
Pivetta signed with the Padres.
Weird for JV to not even get a mention, but Wesneski and Gamel (who was on the team last season) are part of this conversation. We lost Yusei,...
He got 49.8% of the popular vote. Maybe you're thinking of Harris's 48.3%. I feel like that's generally the consensus these days among the...
I agree with your thesis - it's too early to tell anything, other than Trump is very active in attempting to fulfill campaign promises and act on...
Blues Traveler didn't get popular until 94, Spin Doctors in 92. At that point, grunge was hugely popular already - Nirvana was the biggest band...
If the Astros thought the offer they made didn't benefit the team, they wouldn't have made it. It's still out there, not because of sentiment,...
