Alvarez was the #1 left fielder in the league in 2024 according to MLB network. Altuve is untried. Alvarez can catch a fly ball at the wall flat...
Like it or not they are the best outfielders in the system today. I would prefer Corona to Melton in center but Smith in right looks like the best...
You are flat out wrong about Altuve being more valuable in LF than at second this season. Maybe next year but I doubt it. Aside from that come...
I have to disagree. It is pretty easy to see Smith in right and Melton in center after mid season. The one I am doubtful of is Altuve in left...
You must be thinking of a different sport. There is no 25-26 season in baseball. Lance McCullers has a contract with the Astros for the 25 and for...
In right field.
The real problem with the Altuve to LF story is there is no replacement second baseman pushing him off the bag. Sacco (the best current option)...
Kikuchi was a ridiculous trade because the team was not strong enough to justify spending for a post season in which they had no chance to be...
Luhnow sucked in the second round. Overall second round picks are far more likely to make it to the majors.

Smith is the reason I am not happy with the return for Tucker. Parades is a credible replacement for Bregman. He will be the Astros third baseman...
Even a blind hog finds an acorn once in a while. That does not make him good at it.
It is easier to develop a pitcher than a hitter. Pitching is more teachable as a skill. Those guys have natural muscle control and hand eye co...
I believe Janek will need to start out very well this season to be taken seriously after what seemed like a less than stellar first season...
The Astros outfield in 25 looks to be the same or better than it was to begin 24. Meyers, McCormick, & ? was the starting outfield last year and...
As I mentioned in the Fall, Bregman's value to the team in an advisory role was nearly equal to his value as a player in 2024. If he had been...
Nor even a short one.
