Several ifs, Does JV return? What's his work ethic and clubhouse presence? Can everyone get over it? Is he comfortable coming out of the pen in a long relief role pending a need at SP?
Made me look it up. Power hitting left handed and BA hitting right handed making his OPS close with a slight edge toward Left side..
With the Abreu signing fixing the biggest hole in the team last year, I’m okay being patient with JV and LF/DH/backup C signings.
While not likely, they are also not impossible. Even more likely is we scare some teams by discussing it.
https://www.usatoday.com/story/spor...deliver-unparalleled-pandemonium/10827700002/ The Astros, aggressive since winning the World Series with the signing of Abreu and reliever Rafael Montero (three years, $34.5 million), are strongly pursuing All-Star catcher Willson Contreras and talking to outfielder Andrew Benintendi. "Going into spring training, we knew we had a special team, and a special group," said Astros shortstop Jeremy Peña, who was the AL Championship Series and World Series MVP during his rookie season, "and then we sign Montero and add Abreu. Unbelievable. It just speaks to what the front office is trying to do, keep winning, keep that winning culture, and keep that World Series streak going." The Astros would like to retain Verlander, but have shown no inclination of competing with the Mets and Dodgers for his services, particularly with their deep and talented rotation.
Competing with the Mets and Dodgers is one thing. But a key is not to compete with yourself because of an Agent's rumors spread though accomplices in the press.
You guys know the navy jerseys the Framber loves? Why isn't there an offwhite or cream version with rainbow trims on the sides? They would look amazing. Make it happen, Bagwell!
or - and hear me out - why don’t they just bring back the tequila sunrise colors and call it a day. It’s the crowd favorite uniform anyways
It's kind of weird how slow free agency is in baseball. You would think that Judge and Verlander would be signed by someone by now. There are only a few teams that can afford them.
Contreras and Benintendi make this team a OMG we have to play the Astros! Moment. I would love these additions
