    Pump your brakes ;) Buck-o ;) I think there are zero MLB GMs who would trade Witt for Pena (unless in a salary dump).

    Just saying ... Witt is something else.

    That wasn't the question (or so I thought).

    Who's having the best year? Who are the AL All-Star SS?

    Are you trying to suggest a guy who just signed a 60 million dollar deal isn't in danger of being released a few months into it.

    I'm suggesting...no, *saying*... that Christian Walker is not losing his job to Jon Singleton this year.

    Not sure why that's even a question.

    I would agree there is no chance that Walker loses his job to Singleton, or anyone else, this season.

    But it would not surprise me if they option Whicomb, bring up Singleton and start him 1 game per week at 1b and PH him 2-3 times per week.

    Is Singleton better than Caratini?

    Nobody thinks walker will lose his job to singleton, just some at bats against RHP.

    What does "tick tock, Mr. Walker" say to you?

    Well, if Walker was doing his job I don’t think they mess with big Jon. That being said, he isn’t losing his job to Singleton.

    I hope it’s not because Yordan isn’t coming back this year. That crossed my mind too.

    Singleton is not back to replace Walker. He could be the left handed bat the Astros are looking for.

    It's time to revert to the 5 man rotation. This AAA contingent is starting to see cracks in the old armor.

    We've got a day off each week until the ASB. No sense to keep trotting out 4 of 6 starters from AAA.

    Valdez needs to pitch against the Phillies on Tuesday and the Cubs on Sunday.

    Phillies
    Valdez, Gordon, Brown

    Cubs

    Walter, Gusto, Valdez

    Rockies
    Gordon, Brown, Walter

    Dodgers
    Gusto, Valdez, Gordon

    Guardians
    Brown, Walter, Gusto

    Rangers
    Valdez, Gordon, Brown

    Perfectly ends with Valdez and Brown both pitching in an all important series vs the Rangers.
