Given that Maldy is going to be the primary C no matter what, i think option 1 is off the table. Rolling with your philosophy on stocking depth,...
I think a case can be made for Yuli as a bench bat and UTIL IF, with most of that UTIL work coming from 1B. The only way this is justifiable is if...
Im not sure when it will be addressed, but getting another catcher should be a major priority. If Maldanado was to get injured, we would have 2...
He finished fhe year in AAA. Until he proves he has fully recovered the shoulder and can hit effectively, he is on the outside looking in. If no...
If we are going after one more big bat, which player(s) do you think are the best fit?
For 3-4M I’d take a flier. Otherwise, agreed.
Add Nimmo now. Sign Brantley for 6-10 in the Spring. Yuli for 3-4 just to maximize opportunity cost. Altuve Pena Alvarez Bregman Tucker Abreu...

Altuve Pena Alvarez Bregman Tucker Abreu Nimmo Chas Maldanado (Lee, Hensley, Dubon, Yuli, Brantley, Leon, Meyer, Yainer) Add Nimmo and it...
The Astros aren't going to be able to make a decision on Brantley until Spring Training when they can see him in action.
Not with Dusty as manager.
It's getting harder to find room for both Yuli and Brantley, but I think Leon will likely be AAA depth for now. Altuve Pena Alvarez Bregman...
