    Hoping Peacock can become what Bud Norris was. I assumed he was a near lock for the rotation, but he barely saw the field this spring.

    Also hoping Keuchel can take a Wandy-esque leap in year 3.

    Feldman is the only lock to still be in the starting rotation in June, barring injury. Peacock & others will get their chance, injury & failure is inevitable.

    We needed another OF, but figured they'd wait on Springer.

    I don't care about the economics of it, Springer needs to be starting opening day. Enough is enough.

    Yeah its gonna be funny when George Springer says f u to the Astros after they delay calling him up until he is 30, becauase you know delay free agency.

    What a joke of a franchise.

    Will lead the team and possibly the MLB in strikeouts again.

    Hope that helps.
