I'm probably more excited about Josh James than any of our other prospects right now

Yeah but he hasn't seen time in the bigs yet. James was fantastic in his 20+ innings.

Besides like one inning I think James was damn near untouchable. Guys just couldn't touch his FB when paired with his CU.

He's a blast to watch too

According to this, Houston's available luxury cap space is $22,381,071.

The Red Sox paying almost $11 million in luxury taxes is nuts.

What's the formula for luxury tax per dollar spent over the limit? Is it 1 for 1?

Depends if it's 2017 Devo or the Dragon that reappears.

2017 Devo was the Dragon.

I think we're set with Osuna getting most 9ths and Pressly getting the highest leverage spots. Devo should be in the mix with Rondon, Harris, Peacock for the 8ths and medium leverage spots.

Devo might get some situational lefty spots, too, considering we may not have any lefties in the pen.

What was Devo's issue in the second half last year? Was he hurt? Tipping his changeup? Just bad?

I don't recall seeing much reporting on his struggles.

I think he was hurt. He had a couple of DL stints right?

Heyman tweeted that at least 8 teams are still in on Harper, with a few of them offering shorter term deals. This seems like the scenario we've been hoping for.

If I'm Harper I sign a short term deal with the best lineup I can find and stack numbers, then get a blow out deal in 2022 at 29 7-10 at 25-30mill per and coast into retirement.

If he's having trouble getting a 7-10 now at the right terms, why do you think it'll be easy to get in 3 years?

I meet her in person on west coast road trips when the wife is sleeping on the couch. She's plenty fine and gets the job done.
