Astros Player movement thread

What kind of stuff does this guy have?

 

don't forget the ZOFs, for the Jewish fanbase.

 

Wow, so i finally get to see Lo. I was beginning to think he was an urban legend.

Once a year he would show up at some completely random level, dominate for a week or two and then vanish until the next season. He has been following this trend for 4 years now, and he's finally actually here... for now. He may show up next year for for the DSL Astros.

 

And LOH.

Lo has got to GO.

 

So ****ing excited.

 

Strong AOH here.

 

Good for Josh Zeid. I'm pulling for him big time

I'm actually friends with his wife (no not that kind of friend you pervs)

 

Hey you said it not us

 

94-96. Has apparently touched 100 in the past. Solid curve, according to BA, and a changeup that's nothing special.

 

So what's the best bet at closer now?

Cisnero, Lo and Zeid committee and see who take it and runs with it?

I was wanting to see Lo in that role early in the year cause I didn't believe in Veres, I was obviously wrong on that and glad I was. Not sure if he will ever stay healthy, but he has always shown the ability to get guys out.

 

You would think they would give it to Cisnero. Ironic that Porter would pull the heir apparent in the 9th inning yesterday because a left handed hitter was coming up. If Cisnero was the closer, he would have stayed in the game. This is the part of baseball that disturbs me - when someone is given a label and managers think they have to manage a player based on his label.

 

Didn't see it anywhere.

I guess we need to try to injure another player in a collision...
