    Cant deny his bat though.

    That's the ultimate reason for the callup. Worse comes to worse, he's an upgrade at DH as well.

    I don't think defense is a legitimate reason for him not to be up, just saying Schwarber was often in LF, as there was always doubt he'd stay at catcher, and that it would speed up his path to the bigs.

    I think they're trying to work a trade before Aug 1st. Who knows maybe they're showcasing Tucker or other players. Patience ...

    Cool

    Then bring up Tucker for Reed

    And Bregman for Worth

    The whole trade and 40 man arguments ring hollow to me, when I see Brad Peacock on the 40 man, not to mention Worth himself

    Yea, Brad is a head scratcher for sure.

    Evidently, the long game is being played when it comes to Singleton. I guess the brass feel a 40 man spot is worth less than his contract. So let him hang around and see if he blooms late.

    At least Worth had good numbers in AAA. Unfortunately for him, his time is running out (age 30).

    And Worth has had several major league opportunities in the past and never got it done

    I wonder what type of player can the Astros get for an Alex Bergman package right now.

    Bregman is 0 for his last 11.

    Have a few good games kid so Lunhow can say you struggled and recovered.

    And he played 3B when he could have played LF. Moran was the DH, so he could have played 3rd base. Why not play Bregman in LF?

    They hadn't signed Gurriel at the time.

    He played 3rd last night for some inexplicable reason.

    I really have no f**king clue what the Astros are doing with Bregman.

    Every time I see this updated thread I think we got the news.

    Who knows what they are waiting on.

    Seeing how he reacts to playing different positions? That's all I can come up with.
