Well Hinch is a hell of a manager of people even if we (mostly y'all) don't agree with all his moves.

I'm telling y'all. TED will impact the big league clubs this year. Get ready. It's coming.

Ok. Which one of you jokers has the DallasAg94 sock? Because he's got to be sock trolling the Rangers thread. There is no way that's real.

If healthy we could have 3 guys with a shot at 20 even though nobody gets 20 anymore.

Not out of the realm of possibility to have a couple of our guys get monster run support while putting up stellar pitching numbers and easily get to 20

Tony Sipp rounding into midsession form. Less than an inning and 3 runs on 4 hits.

This park is beautiful though.

He also thought Larry Nassar was molesting the US gymnast team as part of "training" to hinder or advance puberty (cant remember which). Hes definitely out there.

Any of y'all subscribe to the athletic? It looks like they're running a special today where it's only $2.50 a month.

Thought about doing this but figured I would wait until the season is in full swing. Figured ST wasn't the best time to use as a feeler.

Thanks. That was my gut feeling, but I figured I'd ask just in case someone had something great to say about it

AJ Reed now batting .296 after starting 1-17

At this point, would you rather have AJ Reed or J.D. Davis start at 1st opening day?

They're similar type prospects in my mind. I'm not sure either has a future in Houston. I lean slightly toward Reed because I think he can become a power hitting DH one day.

Reed. If he does well, we can send him back down when Gurriel is activated, and then if he continues to do well in AAA, use him as a trade piece for a bullpen arm or what-not.

Davis. He at least hustles when he plays.

Reed looks like another Singleton to me.

I really hope we don't go after LeBron. This team has so much potential to dominate over the next few years, and I actually like watching them. I don't feel like giving them all up (especially Capela) just to try out something that may be a recipe for disaster anyway.


I've heard LeBron was interested in the nfl but not mlb

As far as making the roster, I'm leaning towards Reed. I just like the left handed power bat he provides. Interesting side note is that Reed and Davis are just days apart in age. I find that interesting because Davis is the up and coming prospect and Reed is a guy many are ready to give up on.

I promised I googled this exact same thing earlier rout of curiousity

I guess we think of Reed being older because he played College ball

Yes. Correa was renewed for $50,000 less than Bryant was last year, so pretty even with expectations
