No one is saying a damn thing about it - and I mean no one..... My "guess" is that it is a banned substance and Framber and the Astros are trying to get out in front of it all. If that is the case - Framber is not going to do well when he is a free agent.
Other than having interest in Snell, Brown said they would address the starting rotation closer to the deadline. Now they could potentially need 2 but I'm guessing McCullers and Garcia would slot in the rotation. But can McCullers stay healthy??
Indeed.... if anything this proves the Astros don't have any leaks. Even if they did, not sure there are any local media members savvy or influential enough to induce leaks as is.
Is it possible that the test came back when they were trying to get snell and it was just appealed or something
LMJ won't be counted on... till he can actually prove to not only be healthy but to actually have his full arsenal available (which was not the case the last 2 years due to him trying to mask/pitch through the known injury). Some would say junk-ball Lance is better than no Lance... I beg to differ.
