I'm sure to give up Javier, the Astros would like more than just rentals. At least 1 prospect who looks to be a MLB contributor will likely need...
I think France would definitely be reasonable to trade away. I wonder if Elias would like Javier? That is the kind of addition that moves the...
Clearly MLB pitching is their priority. But pitching is so valuable right now, I can't see anyone giving up 2 legitimate MLB caliber arns for a...
I agree that an innings eating SP would be great for this team. But I think you have an unrealistic idea of what that is. This is not 1984. KC...
I am pretty sure we are in agreement on who and what these players are. We simply have different opinions on what level "middling" is. And I...
Yes and no. While Technically they have not exceeded rookie eligibility yet, they are major leaguers. Simply being major leaguers raises them...
This may be true, but the good thing is that Elias is on the hot seat. The Orioles need MLB ready players, not prospects, as they need to compete...
He has an option remaining. There is no benefit to putting him on thecm 10 day IL over just optioning him. In fact, if he isn't hurt giving him...
I am on record as stating that this team CAN NOT trade Framber. Not mow, not the rest of the season. All I'm saying is that the difference...
The bottom line is a 100 loss team still wins 38% of their games. That's 5-8 I can't imagine the Astros being worse than that just because a...
If you have 2 lefty bats and you intentionally put 1 guy between them, that guy needs to mash lefties. Put Jake there if you aren't going to hit...
I like Walker getting moved down. Meyers absolutely needs to be in the lineup, but he learned hitting from Davey Concepcion. He needs to be...
I think Framber is as good as gone AND SHOULD BE. Thank you for your service, good luck to you. Unless he is willing to sign for 4/$100M the...
Something has to give. I haven't done a deep dive, but there has to be something besides bad luck. What I have looked at is worse than his recent...
I don't see him signing for less than 6. Because is he's older, he needs to get paid this time. He doesn't want to be leaving money on the table...
He absolutely does have a high ceiling. However, his physical size is a big disadvantage and lowers his floor. I know there have been TOR SP...
The thing is that unless they surprise and get a guy like B Lowe or Donovan, any addition will likely move Altuve back to 2b in the playoffs ( at...
I agree that there needs to be 2 to tango. The whole point of FA is to have the choice. I'm not saying these wil get done, but that's what I...
Yes - we NEED the tiebreaker over them.
Astros ability to develop pitching, along with the nature of injury risk to SP, is why I felt this way fir a long time. I have since adjusted...
