    Stros still in it but there's so many obstacles. Pitching, hitting, and managering

    The idea of selling high on Tucker becomes more and more appealing to help replenish the talent in the organization.

    43% of his ABs this season have come with runners on base. 40% of his HRs have come with ... runners on base.

    Tucker's having the worst season of career besides his rookie seasons. In what way would that be selling high?

    Tucker is a legend in his own mind.

    He's built a name for himself. Some organizations may pay a good price for him. He still has some control too.

    After the 3-0 full take...pitcher threw 2 very nice breaking balls down and in, just out of nowhere. Guy could not find a strike until those last 2 pitches.

    "Gotta have Dubin up"

    "Gotta have Arrighetti up"

    "Let's see what they can do"

    "It can't be worse." (of course it can be, always)

    Off a gold glove season, under control for 2.5 yrs, still a solid player. There’d be a significant market for him.

    Unfortunate injuries / bad deals (slightly), unfortunate injures / bad deals, managering....

    I can't come up with an excusable reason for your third point.

    True, but I'm guessing Javier gets worse (injured) if he doesn't DNP for a month
