Yeah, but Barreto is a fringe top-100 prospect. Stassi is...well...not Chapman's WAR would lead the Astros by 0.4 over Bregman
Don't blink. I missed the top of the 1st. eta: still haven't seen Miley throw a pitch. Went outside for 3 minutes....
I'd have Berkman, Alou, but prefer Biggio as a hitter. Though, I didn't pay much attention to Kent prior to his run with Stros.
Miley is a solid 4th starter given the context of the line ups we are going to face in the playoffs (Yankees).
Given Brantley's stoic nature, seeing him being more expressive in his happiness recently shows the type of ball club this is. Players love playing here. It really might help in the long term in retaining most of the core for the long haul.
