Dang they look like they’re going pretty hard there. Early June might be realistic for Garcia.
This should be the everyday lineup for the next month. We are going to win.
At this point it seems pretty solid that Singleton will give you a walk rate in the 11-16% range and a k rate in the 22-29% range. Those are...
This should be the lineup every day until the Astros are either over .500 or 20 games under .500: 2B Altuve DH/LF Alvarez RF Tucker 3B Bregman...
Cutting him loose and bringing up Loperfido (or whichever other prospect) would be compounding their mistake; they shouldn’t derail Loperfido’s...
The Astros have 5 optionable relief arms: Whitley, Dubin, Mushinski, Kuhnel, and Coleman. I suspect those 5 guys will continue to rotate thru, as...
The poor b*stard is probably going to get destroyed.
The Astros released a bunch of DSL guys last week and are now down to 70 players in the complex in anticipation of their seasons starting in a few...
Brutal.
Bottom 9 prediction: McCormick walk, Pena k, Singleton walk off HR.
Really don’t understand why Meyers and Singleton aren’t playing over Dubon and Abreu.
Only thing I’d add here is that I think José Abreu was identified as a target before Click left. Speculating, but I think one of the reasons...
Joey Loperfido, Luis Baez, Kenni Gomez, AJ Blubaugh, and a few others might disagree with you.
Updated since the season is underway. 2025: C: Diaz, Caratini; 3.5 fwar, $7M IF: Loperfido, Altuve, Bregman, Pena, Dubon, Kessinger, Singleton;...
2026 you have lost ~8-11 wins on offense (Bregman, Tucker, Abreu, Caratini) and ~6-9 wins on pitching (Verlander, Framber, Montero, Pressly,...
Other than the owner’s GM phase, I am not sure I buy any of those points. The Astros are going on 3+ years of contending with a poorly rated...
Former Astros in current Top 100 in position player fwar: 42. José Siri 52. Teoscar Hernandez 56. Carlos Correa Pitching: 61. Patrick Sandoval...
I know SwStr is heavily correlated to k rate but I don’t know what if anything might cause a sustained variance. I hope you’re right. With the...
Loperfido’s k rate is in the mid 30’s thru ~200 pa in AAA. What makes you think that will come down once he’s in the majors?
That’s huge. Hope it holds up. Astros will get a huge morale boost when JV and Framber are both back. Toss in Blanco and Javier and things...
