Again, my response was mostly about cap space, and they mostly were not getting paid much. You’re right about that being a lot of wasted roster...
I’m not a Stone fan by any means, but the only guys on that list making money are DFS and Capela. Everyone else was a minimum contract guy. You...
I think a lot of people have little understanding of how difficult it is to move a long distance away from family, friends, culture, etc. Much...
Injured pitchers are not necessarily "talent" - they used to be talent, and may be again, but we've seen what happens when you count on guys...
I wish I knew names of unemployed baseball execs in a way that I could throw names out there. The last two guys we had in the job were both...
Or we dump Brown now, and let a new Gm make some trades at the deadline.
Loperfido is 26. Whitcomb is 27. Dezenzo turns 26 this week. Cole turns 26 later this season. None of those would be young players in AAA,...
I feel like this argument is misleading in a discussion of prospects. The AAA team, more than at any time I can remember, is filled with a bunch...
That's a more clogged toilet offense than this season. A Brown-centric offense without any outside shooting surrounding him would be putrid....
The entire plan of having starters who can't provide length, and then relying on multiple bulk guys to bridge the gap that better starting...
Durant, 3 firsts, and Sheppard for another guy who fits better as a #2 than a #1? Pass. If we're trading all that, you'd at least like to get...

The bottom line on all of it is, as you said, the quality of the prospect. Whether it's drafting or trading, it takes a GM and scouting...
The current Astros administration, front office to coaching staff, seems to emphasize making perfect pitches just off the corners, every pitch is...
Your standards for 2026 LMJ are way way too high if this was a disappointment. Any start where he can give you 5 innings and less than 4 runs is...
Posts like this are why I wish this board had a downvote option. We don't need this put out there to be manifested. Bad juju!
I mean, that's fine, and it's fair. It's early, even though he was a college player and not a high school kid. But Matthews was ranked the #57...
De los Santos can't throw strikes. Seems like a disease with this pitching staff.
He's been coming in in the 6th and 7th innings. So neither early or late. I'd like to see him given more responsibility one way or another,...
What about just finding some viable SP4-5s? Right now the rotation is 1 deep.
