Wonder how much money Houston is sending. Pressly was an utter badass for a long stretch. As money as a RP can be expected to be, especially in the playoffs.
Ben Verlander is a great listen. He’s got some solid takes and is very respectful to all sides. Always enjoy his videos when they pop up.
I'm really surpised Dana has been moving deck shairs around trying to fill holes. I worry about the bullpen and starting rotation.
Astros playing to their strengths but yeah if Garcia and McCullers are toast they better hope those young SP are ready to roll. Im not worried about the bullpen. Theyve got enough serviceable arms and many of them have very high upside, plus it’s usually a fairly easy thing to address at the deadline.
Any of Whitley, Dubin, Ort, King, Montero, VanWey, or M Castro have the stuff to be a very good leverage RP. Scott is probably due some regression but either way is more of a MR. If they move Ullola to the pen he’d profile to be really good back there. There are also a few decent RP still on the market (Neris).
I would really like to see that too. He doesn't throw underhand like some of the sissies in the other league.
I know this was basically a salary dump, but if we’re including money, I thought we’d get a couple of lotto tickets.
Taylor Scott had an impressive 2024. See if he can make a favorable move and keep er going for 2025. That could be a big help if you ask me.
