If he gets injured running, which is a real risk with him, I do expect that to change.
I still haven't seen anything with Melton's bat that has shown me that he is close to being ready. Leon just needs better plate discipline and...
give me a break. He was the number 1 left fielder because he's the third best hitter in the league. His defensive stats were horrible.
I'm really rooting for Leon. He has so many tools. Just needs to do better at the plate. Talk about AAAA+ skills.
Nobody expects him to contribute this season, but when is the last time we have been this excited about one of our fielding prospects? Heck, when...
His fielding ability is still a question mark. I know Brown doesn't think much of him as an infielder. I think there will lots of opportunity of...
This is the first time I've heard about Pecko. I honestly take it for granted that the Astros will have and develop good pitchers. Their body of...
I don't get why anyone would think Alvarez is a better outfielder than Altuve. A rather have a guy with a weak arm that can catch the ball out of...

I don't see Altuve being a bad outfielder. Poor arm yes, but I think he is fast and coordinated enough to field well.
Seriously, if Matthews and Smith work out. There would be no reason for a rebuild.
Opposite field power twice. Yikes!!!
Dirden wasn't our highest rated prospect and a 1st round draft pick..
Russia provides no value to the US. the only reason to be friendly to them is because they have nukes. They aren't an economic partner like China,...
He hasn't really ramped up either. I really hope they save him from himself, but let's hope for the best.
