Brantley is coming off a major shoulder injury. A return to form is not guaranteed. Id still find a way for Chas to be in that lineup.
Benching Chas? Brantley, Yuli, Maldy is a real risk to be a bottom of the league lower 3.

2022 Manicini xwOBA .327 2022 Jose Abreu xwOBA .373 2022 Yuli xwOBA .271 Abreu was an elite player in 2022. He would not have been on the Astros...
Yep, right now the current players would likely be Matijevic (1B), Lee (backup C), Meyers (backup OF), Hensley (DH), Dubon (backup OF), Yainer...
Spending has its limits. I have no problem if Crane wants to go nuts and go into the 300s for a couple years, but it’s very unlikely.
Jose Abreu would be on the bench?
1 year of Yuli (5–6M) and Brantley (8-10M) comes no where near Verlander over 2-3 years for 80-120M.
Payroll is already trending up. Adding Abreu, Contreras, Brantley and Yuli would likely push payroll above Crane’s ability to add JV, especially...

Meyers, Lee, Diaz can all start in AAA.
Slowwww down there, partner. haha
There are not really any "holes" in the lineup. 1B and DH will be addressed, more than likely through FA.
If I were Crane, I’d offer Justin 2 guaranteed years with incentives based on innings and performance. A third club option with guarantees based...
[MEDIA] Minute 7:20. I had also seen similar remarks from Justin on Twitter, but it was fake news.

Justin and Kate have both clearly ruled out NY. IMO, that leaves the California teams as the Astros main competition. The market for Justin will...
Thats funny the McTaggert deal came our hours after I posted that. Good for Verlander if he can swing it. I don’t think we match 3 years guaranteed.
