One dude that I think will play another big role: Brett O. I think he can give us a sub 4 ERA from the fourth spot of the rotation.
TIL: Lyle Overbay is much better than I gave him credit. His high prospect status always made me think he underachieved, but in reality, he was...
Honestly, .500+ baseball would make me happy this year. We were always looking at 2016-2017 as the competitive window opening.
Looks like the Rangers got a healthy bump... didn't realize a healthy Prince and Gallardo made that much of a difference.
In 12 major league seasons, Correa has posted a FIP of less than 4 twice. Pass.
but but but the Astro FO are meanies! :rolleyes:
Also, if we are going to content by next season as was the plan, I would think we can get a BotR guy in off season next year. In the mean time,...
I agree. I am hoping for a .500+ record this year. Anything more than that is icing on the cake for me. Having a 37 yr old stop gap for one...

Kind of a silly article... It really simplifies the obvious: big power and big strikeout with potentially lacking OBP. It also brings up Valbuena...
I wonder why Rasmus trended downward last year for defensive WAR? He mostly improved year to year until last year. Does he have a good enough arm...
Removing Marisnick for Rasmus makes this lineup painful to watch? I mean... I guess I don't follow.
Yeah! We traded him to the Pirates for Appel, remember?
Still stands out to me from my visit: [SPOILER] [SPOILER]
I would have: Altuve 2B Lowrie SS Springer CF Carter DH Gattis LF Castro C Singleton 1B Valbuena 3B Marisnick RF...
Sidenote: Obie is coming off of a year where his FIP 3.56 was third best on the team and seems to be putting it together. I am hoping that Straily...
