Seems extremely unlikely, but Justin Dirden is making a push here for a September call up. Still mashing.
Valdez has continued his mash tour in Boston farm system. This one will hurt if he becomes a player. Seemed like a lot of value for what Vazquez is to this team currently.
He's got potential to be a bat-first positionless guy, which usually equals "bench" or "DH". I hope he rakes it and makes it, but this bbs overvalues him like nothing I've seen since James Mouton. Or Tyler White. Or.... If they can retain Vazquez it looks a whole lot better, right?
The Astros coaches and execs didn't see a big future for Valdez. Good organizations trust what their people say, that's why they hired them.
Vasquez is a legit everyday catcher that can hit… what are the odds Valdez approaches a career anywhere nearly as productive?
Most overrated Astro prospect ever was the guy that got sent to Milwaukee with Hader and then just cut by Tampa.
