Can Bergman win ROY this year? If he doesn't win it this year can he win it next? Would be so cool to have BTB ROYs.
I wonder if the Sale incident last night scared Houston off from a deal. Probably not, but its possible. Anyways. YAY! Can't wait to see this kid go. Hope he responds well to the pressure...gotta be overwhelming for such a young kid.
Who is going to play CF? Springer? One of them will play more, and despite Gomez's struggles, Rasmus looks worse at the moment.
Springer is a better CF then Gomez but RF would be an issue so Gomez will probably still get playing time which sucks.
One of Gomez or Rasmus will have to play unless a trade is made for another OF. We're lucky to have three above avg to great defensive CFs. Unfortunately all three are blah on offense. But, if Bregman and Gurriel play well, I'm fine with one of them being the weakest offensive link. At the moment though Gomez is the best option of the three.
Lineup prediction for tomorrow assuming Marwin is out. Springer Valbuena (1B) Altuve Correa Tucker (DH) Bregman (3B) Rasmus Gomez Castro
It will hurt less if Bregman and Gourriel come in and hit well. Both Gomez and Rasmus have sucked for the most part this but if I had to pick which one would play more down the stretch I would probably pick Rasmus. Rasmus has a better track record in an Astros uniform. Gomez most of his time here has been trash.
