    I trust this front office but Altuve being the everyday LF sounds ridiculous. My guess would be that Altuve is telling them he’d be willing to do it to soften up Paredes to be ok playing LF. To me it makes zero sense to put a weak-armed aging superstar who’s only ever played 2B in LF.

    But give me these lineups and let’s ****in roll:

    Vs RHP:
    2B Altuve
    3B Bregman
    DH Alvarez
    1B Walker
    LF Paredes
    C Diaz
    CF Melton
    SS Pena
    RF Trammell

    Vs LHP:
    2B Altuve
    SS Pena
    DH Alvarez
    3B Bregman
    RF McCormick
    1B Walker
    LF Paredes
    C Diaz
    CF Meyers

    Good choice. A dog’s loyalty and unconditional love is not to be taken lightly.

    Hunsicker never asked Biggio to move to the outfield before signing Kent... he just assumed Biggio would do what was needed.

    I would be surprised if he is back. I know he never wanted to leave - but if he wanted the Astros offer, he would have likely taken it before mid January.

    Yes or Pressly eventually gives in… it is hard to know.

    If nobody wants you as a "closer", is it the worst thing to be a 7/8th inning guy?

    Pressly should be thinking about one thing only right now, and that's where's the best place he can go that can maximize his next contract?

    Houston obviously may not be it as the Astros can easily demote him to spot duty here and there if he's lax on his attitude at all.

    My guy, Ryan Pressly is a World Series champion who was absolutely nails and crucial to winning said championship. He arguably could’ve been WS-MVP.

    He deserves some respect for what he has done
