I’m guessing that Barnhart is almost entirely about protecting Maldonado and the pitching staff. Don’t think there’s much argument to be had about...
Looking at Barnharts splits…*woof*. Not even sure you can say he’s a legit platoon option.

Yeah I could see the 6 man rotation being a new trend soon. Keeps everyone extra fresh if your starters can stack quality outings.
Brantley and Abreu are “par” IMO when you consider that we lost the Cy young. We’re down a lot of innings from the starters, and needed to make up...
I do expect him to keep spending, but I’m fine with waiting until the deadline to figure out what our needs are.
Not saying either is a good CF option, but you’d think the one with a recent gold glove could man it more competently. Either way, I don’t expect...
Really glad we got one of Uncle Mike or Conforto. We must feel good about his shoulder. Guessing Conforto is out. I could’ve seen Benintendi +...
Yes. It was. We were just 6-7 deep that year. When CP3 went down, so did our chances, because we were forced to play Gerald Green and others. The...
me as well. Think I preferred him to Brantley TBH
That wasn’t what cost us a championship. It was not trading for a competent 4th guard in 2018 because he didn’t want to go over the tax. That is a...
I wonder though. In his 2021 season, before he went out, he had an ops+ of 100. I don’t know if we would be getting the .800 ops version of Conforto.
you’re probably right, but I wonder how much risk you assign to a guy who was out for a year with a shoulder injury.
Potential team friendly Conforto deal.. $15 million + 1 year team option with a $5 million buyout
That’s a good value signing for them. I’d expect Brantley to go in a similar range. Also starting to wonder if Conforto may go for less than we...
I think some of our skepticism as fans is because we saw Rockets ownership cost the city a championship specifically because they wouldn’t spend...
I said “green shoots*. How many teams can ever project out to be good 4+ years from now? None. All I was saying is that there’s reason for...
Still a lot of time, but I’d say there are *green shoots* of potential. Yordan locked in for 6 more years. Peña locked in for 5 more. McCormick...
Thanks, let’s see if I have this right… If Houston trades for Kris Bryant exactly at the midpoint in the season, his salary counts as $13.5...
That’s fair, but there’s also the dynamic of leaving opportunities for young players to emerge. You’re alway playing a balancing act of...
