so what's the point of the Wandy signing? The Astros have tons of pitching depth and there is no room on the roster. If Wandy surprises and does great in spring training ("great" being a relative term, no one will think he will be that good during the reg season) then he'll sign with another team who needs to fill a roster spot, if he sucks, the Astros cut him...I guess the only hope is he falls in the middle and he signs to a Minor League deal as insurance? not sure there is any point to him at this stage
Comcast feed has been fine. Never made the connection until now, but Wandy shares a rather striking resemblance to Keuchel. Handedness, delivery, stuff.
Lefthanded, and is a competent ML pitcher. Although certainly not good at this point. He's really just emergency depth. Teams always sign a guy or 2 like this in the Spring. Maybe he accepts a place in AAA.
Its the pre-HD, 80's-late 90's angle. Things will be better at the new facility. Still will probably be a sea of red whenever they play the Cardinals though... more-so at the new park, which is closer to the Cardinals home.
Wandy did very good, Straily just the opposite. Is a pity Straily struggled so much because with a good ST we could trade him, if not, t we have to waive him.
Its the best of his abilities. Never really had faith in him but then again its his first ST outing. So theres that.
