Right - as I said, because the alternatives suck at this point. But they aren't moving him around in middle of games like you would with a utility...
Sure - and all were in the first week of the season when everyone was rotating and everyone was sucking. One of those games, Chas actually started...
This is where fantasy baseball and real baseball diverge. They aren't going to keep flipping Altuve in and out of 2B this season. They want him to...
Are you wanting Chas to play 2nd base? Dubon hasn't started in the OF for weeks and has 9 ABs total out there, with some of those coming in late...
Sure - I'd agree with all of that. I'd also say there is zero chance anyone on the outside can measure or see that from watching games. When the...
Is a fiery team that loses any better than a lacking-emotion team that loses? One of the reasons people constantly b****ed about Tucker was his...
You simply don't seem to understand what a one year rental player will fetch, even one as good as Tucker. Tucker is no different than Betts or...
Dubon is the only backup 2B on the roster unless the Astros want to play Altuve there, which they clearly don't. Dubon started 4 games last week...
When they are at their best, I'd agree. But none of them are at their best right now. Meyers has never consistently been, and it's been over a...
No, but they are all interchangable offensively. In 2024, Dubon was the best of the bunch with Chas being the worst. In 2022 and 2023, Dubon was...

If Paredes, Yordan, and Walker aren't hitting, it doesn't matter where they are in the order. 0 HRs from Paredes in the 2 spot is the same as 0...
Sure - but that's similar to how in the NFL, everyone used to punt on 4th and 1 anywhere on the field. Or why teams always hit their speedy...
Every player already has slightly different bats based on their preferences. There's no unwritten rule here of what a bat is supposed to be.
It's actually cheating when it's against the rules and innovation when it's not. It's even bigger cheating when the league sends out a memo...
Every team already has access to that technology. It no different than teams focusing on nutrition or training regimens or ideal spin rates or...
29 teams spend a few billion every year on payroll to not win a World Series...
The difference is that corking is illegal. Players all have their own bats - different weights, materials, etc. As long as its within the MLB...
A complaint over what? Nothing has ever stopped other teams from analyzing bats and developing better designs. It's just a different form of...
The Astros were one of the 3-4 best teams in baseball going into 2023 and entered the playoffs as the favorite in the AL despite their regular...
