    Sorry, this was supposed to be my response to the Ambriz callup.

    Just thinking of Ambriz makes my brain fart :eek:

    A lot of angst and consternation from a lot of folks (not on this site) for nothing.

    I'm excited to see Villar, but I'm worried that he's not ready. If he can play solid defense and hit .220 with any pop or OBP skills, I'll be thrilled though. That would be an upgrade over anything we're currently getting.

    Not sure you could find 2 Astros shortstops more different from Villar than Bogar and AE.

    Krauss and Paredes have both been worse than Cedeno or Pena.

    We want Springer!

    He's got 31 steals for the year so far as well. I think someone earlier compared him to Julio Lugo which I feel is a better comparison.

    They just gotta make the corresponding moves to get him on the 40 man roster.

    Likely waiting till the trade deadline.

    So does this mean that Carter is full time DH, and Wallace 1B

    Looks like they've been rotating Wallace at 3B and Carter at 1B even if Pena isn't in lineup.

    Yea he is a lot better athlete than AE

    I have no idea how Villar will do, but I am very glad to see him here. If nothing else, if he comes up and shows he is a major league level SS, maybe on the level of a Lugo . . .he would have nice trade value with guys like Correa and Fontana following him up the ladder

    Not saying we would look to trade him now obviously

    But, if he shows to be a Julio Lugo quality major league shortstop, when Correa is ready he could be a nice piece to move, that was my only point

    Trust me, i'm not on the "trade the prospects" train
