    Here's a crazy idea. Dubon at 2nd, Altuve DH, Julks at 3rd and Bregman at SS when Julks isn't subbing in the outfield.

    The 2019 AL MVP runner-up Alex Bregman said he can play short at an "All-Star level" if the Astros need him to hold down the position.

    Sadly, this is no longer a joke.

    Javier needs a fence around him like the ones they use in batting practice !!!!

    Javier is obviously suffering from a dead arm or something. He needs to be shut down.

    It feels that way. Looks that way too. No fight in this team right now.

    It's obvious Javier needs to be shut down. The organization desperately keeps sending him out there.

    Good news.. not his arm, not his head… just every other aspect of what you need to be a good pitcher (stamina, conditioning, mechanics, leg strength).

    0-2 2 out ends up being a walk. Huge issue this year. Javier ain’t right though. If they’re able to trade for a SP, shut him down or put him in the pen for a few weeks.

    I thought that was the plan before the AS break? What the hell changed? I don't get it.

    At this point, any pitch in the zone that isn’t smoked…. Is a win.

    He hasn’t pitched in 2 weeks. Thats as close to shutting somebody down without them having to get re-stretched with multiple rehab assignments, etc.

    Javier is pretty weak if he can't handle a starter's innings at his age. Maybe he needs a better off season program. I know he hasn't had this kind of a workload before but come on.
