    Rib injuries can linger. Better to rest him than to have another Meyers situation

    We may have no clue but the team knows a lot more than they are saying. They are surely doing what can be done already and planing for the short and long term future. Trust.

    I know it's different sport in a different era, but I can't separate Brice Matthews from the Great Bruce Matthews.

    They may end up being the best father/son sports duo ever.

    It’s ok - I expected an adjustment period, he has needed one at every level.

    Mathews has some aura to him. It’s hard to explain but I feel like he will figure it out. I feel the same about Melton and obviously Cam.

    Cam is special, I feel like he will be the face of the franchise after Altuve.

    Dana naliled that trade. Cam definitely looks like he's going to have a bright future here. Altuve is a lofty goal.

    Matthews isn't ready IMHO.

    Not sure about that. I get it's not the best time for him to adjust but lets see

    Not sure he will ever really look ready until he actually “does it”. He is a player of extremes, at almost every level of ball he has had periods where he looked lost and not ready and slumps - but he would follow them up with periods of extreme production for a few weeks or even a month, and over time it evens out to be very good. He needs to draw walks like he has learned to do in the minors- but he will likely have an at bat or two a game for years where he looks foolish or over matched and that will be followed up with him turning on a 100 mph fastball on the hands or stealing second and third or making a catch over his head on a pop up that the RF or CF couldn’t get to.

    Are we dismissing a prospect after one game?
