    A 7-8-9 of White, Reddick, and Gurriel would probably be the best bottom of the order in the league next season. When you figure 5-6 could be JT Realmuto and Kyle Tucker, next year’s lineup should be an all-timer.

    This. I will say, I really wish one of White/Bregman/Correa/Altuve/Gurriel was a left handed or switch hitter, we have a solid lineup but one more lefty/switch hitter (from outside the OF) would be nice IMO.

    Sale and Price agree with you. Astros need more lefties in the lineup.

    Kluber, Bauer, Carrasco, and Clevinger disagree. Right now we're in line to face them in the ALDS.

    Are Astros suppose to be scared of a team that has a 20+ win differential in their division, but are below 0.500 to the rest of the AL?

    We'll agree to disagree. Playoffs are never easy no matter who you face. I wouldn't go as far as saying I'm scared, but those pitchers are never easy.

    Considering that, it's amazing to me that he looks a good thirty pounds overweight. Baseball is obviously more of a skill game than solely about athleticism but I can't help but think if he killed it in the gym one offseason that he'd be a much better player.

    Not enough at bats to lose this season.

    I'm still hoping to lose my Marwin bet.

    Good read. Some guys grow/work their way out of it. Pujols was a "pear shaped" lardass when he was drafted.

    Being portly never stopped Lance Berkman. It's baseball, as long as he eats healthy and is in shape, I wouldn't complain about the extra junk. Can't stand people who count calories as if that denotes health.

    You should look at Tom Brady at the Draft Combine, looked like a Skinny High School Kid, who never worked out at the gym.

    Tyler White a 27 yr old, 5'11 225 lb, 33rd Round Pick. Tyler worked hard on his fitness, his quickness and power really has really developed, his hitting is very impressive.

    I am confident he can average 11 PAs/game over the rest of the season.

    Average game time if this happens- 7 hours and 48 minutes. Alan Ashby would not be happy. I'd also say that it would be exceedingly unlikely to ever see the team lose.
