Not seeing a huge need to sign anyone else IF Brantley is healthy and signed and IF Maldonado is healthy and ready to go opening day. They can...
Since 2019, he is like .270/.320/.740 in 1500 AB.
Since he ended the season at .700 OPS, I think he has a good chance to get "back there". Can he get back to .800 OPS like he hit in '19 & '20? Not...
With JV gone that is one less starter who will require Maldy as his personal Catcher. I think the next move might be for Vázquez or Contreras. Did...
I'm just not sold on Pedro Leon. He struck out in over 35% of his AB's and that .228 avg. in Sugar Land is not showing any improvement. Sure he...
Do you think Miguel Ullola will start the season at Corpus? Only 20 years old, 15 SO/9, low hits allowed. He is an exciting prospect. If he can...
So now there is a huge gap between Yuli and Yainer Diaz versus Rowdy Tellez .219/.306/.767? Forget Yuli having a bounce back closer to '21 and his...
Even after leading the team in batting for the entire postseason at .347? While Tucker .204, Yordan .192, Altuve .190 struggled to make contact...
Yuli's 2019 was better than his '21 batting title season. He was 2nd on the team in OPS behind Altuve and 5th among 1B. .298/ 40 2B/ 31 /HR/ .884...
They should definitely get more than 60 innings out of Abreu next year if he stays healthy. 70+ IP for sure.
I haven't seen any posts that remotely allude to that degree of praise, but the Astros do have a Catcher situation that needs to be resolved...
Vázquez is definitely better than a D+ bat and all around catcher. Some good info in the article. Cards are interested. He'll be playing for...
I heard someone...can't remember who, but reputable on mlbn pick him as their dark horse candidate. His #'s say so as well. Had a lower era than...
I just don't think they would entrust perhaps the greatest pitching staff ever assembled to Korey Lee in the case that Maldy were injured (which...
I think it would be a lot closer to a true platoon in '23 and with Diaz as 3rd Catcher would allow Vazquez more PH/DH opportunities. And he would...
That would be great, except I don't think there is any way they go with Yainer as the #2 Catcher. Having him as 3rd Catcher allows for a lot of...
Just want to add that I'd like to see Hensley as super-utility INF and also in the mix at 1B. And that Urquidy will have trade value at the deadline.
Altuve Peña / Hensley Alvarez Bregman Tucker Gurriel / Y. Diaz Brantley McCormick / Meyers Maldonado / Vázquez I want to see a ride or die...
Sorry...that was in reply to awc713
I agree with you to an extent, because I think that player could be Yainer Diaz. We just saw what kind a season a talented 24 year old rookie can...
