We can't blame World Baseball Classic for these injuries this time around, can we? :P
We lost a draft pick because Dustying through the regular season.
Didn't miss anything sports-wise as the Rockets lost that game.
This may also mean refusing to pitch on short rest, go beyond a pitch count limit, or go more than 3x through the order in the stretch run.... but...
It's not as if I am arguing that Jeriome Robertson was the greatest rookie pitcher we ever had just because of wins total. Nor am I arguing Tim...
There tends to be more opportunities to blow saves when you are winning... and the save % was still near the top of thr league last year...
And Rivera blew saves in the postseason... @Bobbythegreat doesn't recognize that Pressly has yet to do that ONCE ever.
Or 2017... have your 3-4-5 starters willing to pitch 3-4 innings in relief.
Numbers don't lie on Pressly... he may not have the best 'stuff', but his results are only 2nd to Wags. Tags rated Will Harris 5th best ever and...
More likely packaged with a low level, upside project in a NBA-style salary dump move.

If we got Hader after Graveman went down, and if we get Snell after Urquidy, do we trade for Trout once Meyers goes down?
Those incentives kick in only if he gets playing time... he's blocked from playing every day.
Maybe... might to make sure he gets consistent at bats plus super 2 considerations
In Astros language, it means out for half of next year.
Craig Hodges would have thrived in this era...
