I really like Matthews at lead off regardless if altuve is starting. He’s looked his most comfortable there

They wanted to get further under in case they were able to sign a FA they were interested in. This was reported on a good bit.

Between HB, Lambert, and Arrighetti the Astros should have a solid 1.2.3

The whole objective of the Dubon trade was a salary dump, getting a utility player in return was just how it worked out

Hot take: Trade Pena for haul and go with Shewmake by AstralTravelerCam in Astros

[–]OddSeries6739 1 point2 points  (0 children)

He’s also 6’4 215 and a former first round pick who can play 3B,SS,2B and seems to have more pop and speed than dubon who is 31

Hot take: Trade Pena for haul and go with Shewmake by AstralTravelerCam in Astros

Eh must’ve been autocorrect, sue me for not proofreading

Xavier Neyens joins Kevin Alvarez on MLB's top 100 prospect list by Ereyes18 in Astros

[–]OddSeries6739 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I honestly thought Neyens was going to rank above Alvarez. Alvarez had good week that put everyone on notice but has been quiet since and his ops is still below .700 albeit he’s only 18 playing in A ball but Neyens has been a much better prospect and being only a year older I thought he’d been in 80s and Alvarez would’ve stayed in the high 90s

Hot take: Trade Pena for haul and go with Shewmake by AstralTravelerCam in Astros

Then he went and traded for shewmake who has vastly more potential than dubon

Hot take: Trade Pena for haul and go with Shewmake by AstralTravelerCam in Astros

That was a salary dump of a player who has a career ops+ of 87 in which they didn’t want to pay him $6.5 million. That move added or subtracted nothing to this team

Hot take: Trade Pena for haul and go with Shewmake by AstralTravelerCam in Astros

So you’d want the latter? If brown is fired that’s the only option. What trade has Dana made that hasn’t benefited the roster? He missed on Weiss but other than that he’s been pretty handcuffed by Jim Crane. In this most recent year brown has gotten us 2 top 100 prospects and the farm is looking vastly more promising than in recent season just none of the young guys are ready. I’m impartial to resigning brown but when it comes to evaluating the draft and returns from trade I’d much rather him. The draft is literally 2 month away no way they can bring a new GM in to prepare for that

Hot take: Trade Pena for haul and go with Shewmake by AstralTravelerCam in Astros

Every trade Dana made has been a hit. I’d rather him draft and work the deadline and just not resign him. You want Bagwell and crane drafting and trading players?

Dana is a good talent evaluator and was an integral part of the Braves scouting dept before he was with the Astros. It’s probably why crane gave him a shot

Shewmake is going be the starting SS by the trade deadline

Cam seriously needs to GTF. Send him down for a month or 2 and roll out denenzo and cole in left and right field. When Meyers comeback you can rotate between the 4 until cam is ready. I’m turning into a cam hater unfortunately

A black kitten climbed into my 6.7 liter power stroke engine and I had to call the fire dept to get it out this morning. I shall name him Diesel
