After back to back seasons of terrible injury luck, I feel like law of averages kicks in and they stay reasonably healthy. Brown repeats his...
Thats one-way to look at it But for the most part, the last guy in the bullpen will pitch in the same games regardless and I just don't see much...
Injuries have really opened up the competition for the bullpen. Position players are a bit more set. Diaz, Salazar (unless another C is brought...
I'm excited about the potential speed this team could have with Pena, Cam, Cole, and Matthews. League ranking in SB 2022 = 16th 2023 = 18th 2024...
I disagree. I think this team has 2 Tier 1 RP ( Hader, Abreu) 3 Tier 2 RP ( King, Okert, Sousa) and 6 or 7 Tier 3 RP The #6 and #7 guys in the...
Per Fangraphs the following players project to be top 13 position players or top 20 pitchers (require more depth) on this team in 2026 and are...
It will never happen but if a cap/floor is adopted, they should have a draft, similar to an expansion draft. Teams below the floor draft...
To be honest I hate both options. The idea that they can't fix these issues while still playing games is so stupid. Can you not talk until after...
Beep Beep Beep Sarcasm meter
I'm not saying we don't But not having him will not cost the team 10+ games. Maybe 2-3. I don't want to discount 2-3 games but they certainly...
I respect your opinion and you certainly are entitled to it. However, I feel that I have a wonderful life that I would not trade with anyone but...
I think that's a bit hyperbole. No way that games in which Hader would have a 1 inning save situation become a toss up without him. At worse,...
I would bet on Cole ahead of Loperfido and Dezenzo may be ahead of him too. I'd like to see Matthews over Allen but unlikely.
Yes !!!! I was not a fan of bringing him here. Either bring in a legitimate upgrade or let the kids play.
It's not cumulative. If he gets 172+ days (out of 187) on the 26 man or ML IL then it counts as a full season. He officially has 2.000 seasons...
We have talked quite a bit about the Astros gaining a year of control of Cam Smith if he spends 16+ days in the minors. What we have not...
This is only true if you are willing to play all 5 infielders and Yordan at the same time. If one of them is on the bench because you don't want...
I can understand your opinion of me. FTR I do not expect players to be grumpy or whiny. I expect any and all issues to be indirect and hidden....
Yes I think Altuve would be a much better player at 130 games than at 150, but I see zero chance Espada is willing to put him on the bench more...
Lots of puzzle pieces to put together. Payrolls aren't finalized until December after the season is completed, so the money would need to be...
