Pena, Singleton, Meyers, Dubon are the living embodiment of the baseball adage “water finds its level eventually”. Meyers was the only one that possibly had a higher ceiling given the injury… and hopefully his recent decline was more fatigue related (although still questionable if he could sustain a .800 OPS for an entire season). Just sucks that Chas hasn’t been able to hit lefties this year… let alone go on a mini hot streak of sorts. And their depth still provided enough offense allowing this team to get back into the race… but Tucker is not just sorely needed, he needs to basically hit like a true MVP/superstar when he’s back.
Josh Bell's 16 HRs would be looking awfully nice on this team right about now. But I digress. What can Brown not do for you?
It really is a shame that Diaz didn’t take over the job last year, midway through the season, when it was clearly obvious that Yainer was the much better option. I think we win more games down the stretch and beat the rangers in the playoffs. Probably a WS title. Such a shame.
Yes, Josh Bell hitting 16 HRs for the Astros in the 5 days since he was traded would have looked awfully nice.
