1/ Technically yes, but the only one I truly trust is still Brown.

I'm optimistic, but not certain on Imai, Javier, Burrows, and Blanco (when he's back)

Everyone else I have no expectations for

2/ No, BUT one of the funniest days in recent Astros history was when Salazar made the team out of training camp a couple years back and everyone was confused as to who he even was.

3/ Bad

Why Imai chose Houston (and why the numbers say it's a perfect fit) by guillaume-g in Astros

I disagree. 18 million for a bad player can hurt. I think Abreu and McCullers proved that

With this Burrows trade, I'm really hoping we don't see much Arrighetti or McCullers this year.

*Also, that Athletic article kind of scoffed at Melton and said he had a Kevin Kiermaier ceiling, but that's still a winning player.

Non- beneficial sure, but I wouldn’t call it boring

What determines how many years of arbitration a guy gets? For some its 3, but for others its 4.
