So you think the Astros should just stand pat? Or trade away what little position player prospects they have?
Current deadline hope: Out: McCormick, 3 pitchers from this group: Arrighetti, Blubaugh, Ullola, Gusto, Blanco, Abreu In: an all-star LH bat who...
He hasn’t played 2B this year. He’s played 4 games at 3B and 1 at SS. I personally think he’s viable at 1B, 2B, and 3B. But it doesn’t look...
There seems to be an absolute glaring lack of quality infield prospects right now; worse than I can recall at any point going back to before 2011....
First details I’ve seen on Jeron Williams’ injury are in this article about the fastest player in each system:...
Altuve on pace for ~160 hits this season and should finish 2025 right near 2400 career hits. 600 more hits over his age 36-39 seasons seems like...
I expect the pickings to be very slim and prices very high, so elite was probably a poor word choice. Brandon Lowe, Brendan Donovan, Jake...
I would feel comfortable with Brown offering any 2 of Arrighetti, Gusto, Wesneski, Ullola, and Blubaugh for an elite CF or 2B bat with more than 1...
Kaleb Ort threw a clean inning in his last rehab appearance with AAA last night. Fastball was up to 96.4. Assuming no setbacks, he should be...
Yeah he’s not viable with that much swing and miss. Hopes are pinned on the fact that he’s young and hardworking and was moved up really quickly,...
Astros made a minor league trade for IF Rowdey Jordan. I assume it’s cash going back. Probably nothing to get excited about....
Yeah my guess is they go to a 6 man rotation (or 4+1 tandem) when McCullers and Ort come up, and Sousa and VanWey get sent down. Arrighetti is...
Minor league free agent lefty signed from bostons system. At one point he was up to 97 but he sits low 90s, throws 4-5 pitches. Looking at his...
If you’re on an iPhone, you can read NYT/Athletic articles without a subscription by switching to reader mode. Anyway, the summary is that Smith...
Thinking about this a little more, Luhnow’s era was defined by the upside of tanking, but also significant inherited talent; the 2017 roster was...
Paredes is probably the most ideal extension candidate on the roster. I’m hoping they buy out 2-3 FA years this offseason. A core of Smith,...
Did you read the article I linked?
https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/6300674/2025/04/23/astros-cam-smith-outfield-transition/ Post trade deadline lineup: LF Altuve 3B Paredes DH...
It’s still early enough that not much has changed since the season started in terms of expectations. I like the roster. I think it’s deep on...
