    Leon is starting at SS in AA. The AA part suggests he could come up at any time. The SS part suggests not this year (and maybe not next) and probably not at CF. So freaking weird.

    Article I read said that he will get 80% of his starts at SS and 20% in CF. He already knows how to play CF. If he mashes the baseball in AA/AAA like Bregman did and Straw or whoever else in CF struggles they will bring him up.

    I agree if he hits like Bregman, he will come up. Though, that is a big hurdle. I'm not confident in Straw's bat, and that is a much smaller hurdle. The Astros trying Leon at SS implies that they think he'll have the time in the minors to learn the position.

    I guess. He's still ****ing up somewhere if he's got COVID again.

    Not sure why Tucker is hitting clean up, but then again I’m not a manager so what do I know.

    Yordan is a Covid magnet.
