Where do your numbers on Pham come from? He’s hit .229 and .211 in consecutive seasons, without much power. He’s also going to be 34 on opening...
Entirely agree with your first point - $19.5 for 4 years was a salary that fit the budget and the general desire to limit years, while upgrading a...
How did that work out?
May end up costly! 7 of 10 teams have winning records and only 6 make the playoffs. He went from having a bye week to one loss away from being...
Has @Ziggy won a game since this post? Another week, another loss. Bold move going without a QB or RB. ;)
The RH half of the platoon doesn't come anywhere close to full-time - they end up getting 30% or so of the ABs. And ideally, you're hoping to...
Like you said, it's business for both sides. I hear owners say they really want to keep X player when they really mean "I want to keep X player...
I think George was happy to sign elsewhere, but there's a difference between that and a refusal to consider the Astros even if they offered the...
I think the squad they ran out last year, with a healthy JV and McCullers, is capable of winning it all. Those two starters are a bigger...
Bryant is going to be 30 next year, Correa 27. Anything can happen, but the idea that Bryant (3.3 WAR in 2021) is going to massively improve in...
The Astros, in the middle of a pennant race, and trying to win another title, were never going to trade away one of their best players at the...

The fact that the Astros had their best offensive players at premium defensive spots up the middle was a huge advantage in building a roster....
It's the Morey playbook. Houston should be used to this by now.
I think the language was pretty vague and he never said the R word.
You may as well say, “My honest assessment is that Chas McCormick is going to be the Astros best player next season. I am no more likely to be...
Not only that... Correa was the first prize of the Luhnow rebuild. The payoff for intentional tanking in 2012 was the #1 pick. Three years of...
If you're going to play someone out of position, never go up in difficulty. SS > 2B or 3B > 1B. CF > RF > LF. And up the middle defense is...
They thought they did that when they got Charlie Strong. When that failed, they tried again with Tom Herman. This time they tried something...
50m for another year is a dramatically better deal than 5/160. Don’t know that it does the job but it’s not a zero chance.
