So what does Alex Presley bring to the table again. It's really baffling why Hoes isn't even playing.
Yea there are a lot of moves I don't necessarily agree with, but the Presley playing over Hoes is the biggest one that I simply do not understand what they are thinking
Yeah we don't appear to have much of a consensus around here, but we pretty much all agree Hoes should be playing and Harrell sucks.
At least Presley's fielding his position (note, that is not an endorsement of Presley being in the starting lineup). Not sure what Grossman's problem is.

Eh Castro is more of like a 5 than a 3 but it's definitely light years ahead of where we have been in the past. This is what I want it to look like come September. Fowler Altuve Castro Springer Singleton Stassi (DH) Dominguez Hoes Villar Good mix of LH/RH with some of the talented youth infused. I was thinking about something earlier today. We have an influx of OF prospects and I am thinking there may be a blockbuster trade at some point involving a combination of a couple of them and one of our top pitching prospects. Guessing we'll try and land a superstar.

I want to see a lineup that has Altuve hitting 8th or 9th. Fowler Springer Correa Singleton Santana Castro Stassi (DH) Dominguez Altuve I don't think this is too unrealistic for Sept 2015 or opening day 2016 (or April 13 2016).
The Astros have been built to be a power house for the next several years. Singleton and Correa will make this lineup......JUICY
