    It is going to be quite the race between Davis and Moran. Both are scorching the ball real good!

    And with Altuve entrenched at 2nd base, Correa flashing brillinace at SS, and Reed doing everything we want from a 1st baseman at CC, there is a glut of talent in the Astros system in the infield.

    But I am shocked of the level of talent fighting for the 3rd base position. I like Moran to take the spot, but Davis' HR power is very intriguing.


    I think it's going to boil down to who has a better arsenal to hit the breaking ball off the heater! As has been said, Chris Carter is one guy who might identify the breaking ball, but he can't hit it........

    Davis is a future 1B/DH type. He is not very good defensively.

    Thanks for the info. So the real race for the Astros 3rd base is going to be Moran v. Bregman!

    The really competition at 3rd is between Bregman and someone outside the organization. Bill Muller...err I mean Moran will be passed over.

    ...about impending call-ups (and those who won't be)

    White to try catcher? That's interesting.

    They would seriously bring back Villar?

    You wouldn't want him on the bench to use as a pinch runner?:confused:

    Very glad you aren't in charge then. I never want to see Marwin Gonzalez pinch running again.

    I don't trust him to not make stupid base-running errors, if his defense is any indication.

    EDIT: Ok that's a valid point. Gonzalez is slow as molasses. But I'm still haunted by visions of Villar making errors in the outfield and infield.

    Another homer for Mr. White. This one was a 3-run shot.
