    Stanek or Neris?

    I much prefer Stanek here.

    Save Neris for a tough tight game.

    Abreu has really struggled here lately. Was his dependability last year the outlier?

    He actually wasn’t one of the main setup guys till much later in the season. He was unleashed in the playoffs and nobody really could have anticipated how dominant he would end up being… but now he has to do it over an entire season.

    He's been trash overall. Definitely not nearly as good as last year.

    His numbers across the board are better than last year.

    It's a shame Framber is not 9-1 vs 6-4.

    Framber being Framber.

    Hope Abreu is able to work through his command issues because he has not been sharp at all the last 10 days or so. Relievers in this sport are highly volatile. Its' why proven stable commodities like Pressly are so valuable, even if he isn't as impressive.

    The Astros are looking more like the Astros, but, the Rangers don't appear to be the Rangers anymore.

    Julks smashed that ball.

    He would hit 25 possibly 30 bombs if he started 150 games.

    He has the same HR rate Martin Maldonado has had the last 3 years.

    Too small a sample. Didn’t he hit like 28 last year in Sugarland? I’m pretty sure he would hit more than Maldy and that he would be expected to if given a full time role. Although, I wonder what Maldy’s HR projection is over 150 starts. Its gotta be around 20 right? I’m too lazy to look that up or even try to do the math.
