I hats his spray chart? How much could the crawford boxes give him a boost?
Not much at all. He sprays it all over.
But he's good regardless.
First big offensive FA signing since pre-2019 Brantley

Breggy in the 6 hole? Switch with Pena.
Regardless, it's long. Very long.
If Verlander comes back Astros have 7 of the top 20 in AL MVP voting.

Switch Bregman and Abreu. No way Bregman hits 6 when he's healthy.
Nice get for the Astros. I hope Abreu keeps it up.
I worry about his age and the fall off like we saw with Yuli.

Beni
Brantley
Conforto
Profar

to Farmer's point, either way it's a really long lineup. Whoever hits 6 probably doesn't deserve to be down that far in the lineup. I think our other position player signing will be a left handed hitter, and that makes our lineup pretty damn platoon-proof.MosesHallRAB04 said:CoachRTM said:

Just nuts.
UTL Gurriel is not an experiment I want.
The signing of José Abreu would bring an end to Yuli Gurriel's tenure as Houston's full-time 1B. Gurriel is a free agent and the Astros have interest in bringing him back in a utility role.

Not sure why I'm not happy about this. Maybe it's because of how attached I've been to Yuli. Even with how bad he was last regular season, he came through huge in the postseason. I really didn't want to believe he wouldn't be back. Damn
Unbelievable!
Guess the deal.
3/54? Tops Rizzo in AAV and years (option vs guarantee)

YUGE move. We dont even need a GM.
Even at the end of his contract, Abreu would be younger than yuli was last season.

What was Abreu expected to get paid in the free agent projections?
I love Texas Aggie sports, but I love Texas A&M more.
I would love to have Yuli back. I expect the Astros have seen him taking reps at other positions to feel comfortable with him as a utility role.

3-60
Interesting that his hard hit % last year was the second highest in his career and nearly 3% over his career average. Seems like he probably still has at least a couple of good years left.
welcome back, king
Should have held on to him instead of Hidalgo.
McDaniel predicted $23m AAV in his free agent rankings.
ETA: I'll say 2/43 with an option.

Did we ever find out about Yuli's injury from game 5? Rumors were it could have been surgery and maybe career. If he wants to retire make him a coach and help with our Cuban pipeline
get brantley too and we're a nightmare to pitch to.

One helluva 7 hole hitter
I asked this a few ages ago, what does Yuli bring to the UTL position that someone like Diaz doesn't?3B Paul 97 said:

For starters, a desire to be at the plate in the playoffs.Farmer1906 said:I asked this a few ages ago, what does Yuli bring to the UTL position that someone like Diaz doesn't?3B Paul 97 said:
