    Abreu is fine. He would be a huge improvement over Sanchez.

    One of the reasons I like Donovan is that he can play so many positions.

    2026 will be his age 29 season and in the past 4 seasons he has started at least 12 games at all 4 infield positions and both corner OF spots

    He can rotate 2B and LF with Altuve.

    He can give Cam or Dezenzo a break vs RHP when Altuve, Correa, Pena, Yordan, Walker, and Paredes are all still starting.

    He has never had a K% above 15.0% which is exactly what this team needs.

    I love Donovan I just think at this point his price is going to be too high.

    A great off-season would be adding Rasmussen/Ragans/Lowe.

    Walker would have to be traded a long with trading Arrighetti plus prospects.

    Extremely late on this but it’s hilarious that absolutely no one considers Mike Fiers a hero (probably because well… he’s a tattletale) even though he was a whistleblower about the “cheating”

    Whistleblowers are rarely a hero. People don't like who they can't trust.

    It's not that he was a whistlblower, it's that he was pretty much a giant POS human

    Especially criminals. We had a whistleblower that happened to be a piece of sh*t, but man wouldn’t it be great to have a whistleblower or two that would force the NBA to cleanup their act.

    You guys watch, Walker will get dealt and Pena's errors will go up.

    Impossible to put a number on it, but I watched him save so many IF errors last season

    The Astros need their scouts to find under the radar young contact hitters in the minor leagues you can trade for or find minor leaguers that are released.

    Marwin Gonzalez (Red Sox), Mauricio Dubon (Giants)

    Andres Gimenez (Guardian)

    Jays signed Ernie Clement after being released by the A's as a Minor Leaguer.

    He was a rat and a pedophile.

    As a matter of fact, I’m kind of shocked he’s not a cabinet member.

    Selling low on Walker will be a mistake. He had turned it around second half. If we can get a #2/3 out of it, great. But just to unload him - he will be missed.

    I'm sure people were saying the same thing about Jose Abreu before 2024. "Look at his production in the 2023 second half and the playoffs, he turned it around."
