Slowly getting very excited about Pena potentially leveling up into a true star.
Houston stands to add a 2nd round compensation draft pick for Framber (as they did with Tucker), provided they stay below the CBT threshold. So...
I don’t think minor league wins should be any kind of priority, but I do think they matter, not just as a reflection of the quality of the farm...
Your primary backup middle infielder is not going to be the 13th guy. But at this point it seems like it would be disruptive to have Dubon sit...
Dubon has had 2 seasons where he was nearly exactly league average with the bat, posting a wRC+ of 98 (2020) and 99 (2023). Based on last season,...
Good analysis. For Dezenzo’s potential outcomes: Without significant changes/improvement he’s most likely a league average bat who hits a fair...
Hard to sympathize too much with Chas after he was so bad last season. He’s lucky he wasn’t non-tendered. That said, I do think it’d be better...
All of Houston’s farm teams have losing records. One thing I realized recently is that the Astros tandem starting pitching system (especially the...

Like Berkman used to say, if you look at your schedule and don’t see any cupcakes…you’re the cupcake.
The Astros are an all star 2B away from having a pretty stacked roster, so ideally adding that would be the net of whatever moves they make...
To substantiate your claim, you’d need to look at how many times a hitting coach or manager was fired midseason and how many of those teams...
In this trade in particular, I don’t think it’s that we all thought the prospects were that great, it was that we didn’t expect Kikuchi to be that...
I don’t think anyone considered Walker or Yordan “what ifs” going into the season, and along with Yainer (who only a very few people doubted)...
While his stuff looks fine under the hood, he’s had a little bit of a worrisome step back so far this season, and I kind of get the feeling he...
Astros get: SS Kevin McGonigle SS Bryce Rainer P Ethan Scheifelbein 2B Max Anderson Tigers get: P Framber Valdez P Bryan Abreu SS Mauricio Dubon...
Really really really want a good start by Blanco this series.
