    Does that article lead you to believe anything you didn't already know?

    My phone won't let me read it, so that's a real question.

    Basically, Baker said that while Pressley hasn't had any setbacks he hasn't made any progress.

    Does the 12.5 include the 2 million buyout he'll get next year? Lol

    Adam Morgan is a 33 y.o. journeyman who I can't believe will be claimed on waivers. Using a roster spot on him seems stupid, for lack of a better word.

    And if so, who cares?

    Is the Roster reduction before or after Sunday's game? Some articles say end of April and others say Monday meaning expanded rosters on Sunday 5/1.

    Was (2004) Beltran the last big bat the Astros acquired through a trade?

    Whatever you do, keep shoveling money at older, injury prone pitchers and let young hitters walk. What could go wrong?

    Depends on how you feel about Gattis and McCann.

    Was Carlos Gomez considered a power bat or was he on the decline when they acquired him? Might be more in the McCann and Gattis territory.

    Blanco, Seth Martinez, Mushy, and maybe Josh James care.

    Hoping they keep Mushinski up and send down Blanco and Martinez.

    I would give Goodrum another month to show some improvement and if he’s still striking out >35% of his pa then he’s gotta go. Give Hensley or De Goti a shot.

    I fully expect Castro to perform better but if by mid season he’s not hitting I would cut him loose and bring up Papierski (unless Lee is just dominating AAA).

    Hoping the return of Altuve (then Meyers in a few weeks) really gives the offense a boost.

    I’m not panicking but they need to win some games over the next month. Don’t want to risk another team pulling way out in the division or having a dog fight in September.
