Is it just me or does that swing look a lot like a power hitting Cuban OFer we already have on the big league club?

Saw this online this morning. Is this the new bling? I haven't seen it posted anywhere what the design will be.

For reference that is Breggy presenting it to Crane

No, but that's okay. He still looks like a nice prospect. He'll be 20 before he makes it over here tho. Wish we could bring him to rookie ball this year.

You mean my other post….

I'm talking about on Astros social media. Why isn't it on Twitter and Instagram etc. seems random they're handing them out but haven't shown the design previously

Are they handing them out? Was that just a reveal last night? I'm sure they'll play it up, announce ring give aways, do a ceremony, etc. The Astros are good at milking this stuff.

Someone tweeted that was gifted to him for hosting, so it's not the champ ring.

So you think they designed, showed, and awarded a championship ring but not the championship ring?

Don't shoot the messenger. I don't know what they were showing on the stage. I'm only talking about the one he was wearing in the pic.

That ring may very well be the championship ring but it doesnt look like one.

That sounds like Fred Cuellar made his own. I thought the Astros gave it to him based on the previous posts. Jostens was the company who makes the real ones.

And he's not not in the Top 10'odds this year?

MLB Network will be finishing up their top 10 over the next week. SS will be released tonight. Here is where the Astros stand.

C: 2/2
1B: Abreu - 4th
2B: Altuve - 1st
SS: 1/26
3B: Bregman - 6th
LF: Alvarez - 1st, Brantley - 8th
CF: McCormick - 10th
RF: Tucker - 4th

SP: 2/1
RP: Pressly - 6th

We might get shut out at SS with it being such a deep position (Lindor, Swanson, Turner, Bogaerts, Seager, Correa, Bichette, Edman, Kim, Witt, & Franco), but, obviously, we feel good about the GG, CS MVP, & WS MVP.

Limiting SP to just 10 is kind of crazy. You could make an argument for Framber at 5 or 15. It depends on what exactly you're looking at.

Zero-shot at Catcher, but we have the most stacked roster regardless of how we finish this out.

For comparisons here is where our competition stands

NYY
C: 2/2
1B: N/A
2B: Torres - 10th
SS: 1/26
3B: LeMahieu - 10th
LF: N/A
CF: N/A
RF: Judge - 1st

SP: 2/1
RP: N/A

SEA
C: 2/2
1B: N/A
2B: Wong - 9th
SS: 1/26
3B: N/A
LF: N/A
CF: Rodriguez- 3rd
RF: Hernndez - 8th

SP: 2/1
RP: Muñoz - 7th

The writers have been D-bags forever. It's not a recent thing. Ted Williams only got 93.4% of the vote when he got inducted. The guy hit .344 with 521 home runs, made the all-star team 19 times, won 6 batting titles and fought in 2 wars. But he wasn't Joe Kiss-ass to the media so the punished him. He should have won a lot more MVPs as well.
Williams was second in the MVP voting in '41, '42 and '47...

He hit .406 in '41, the same season as DiMaggio's 56-game hit streak... DiMaggio won the award, but Williams' overall numbers for the season were better.

Williams won the AL triple crown in '42 and '47... runner-up both times.

So, yes and yes...

Here is Caesars. Seeing as both Valdez & McCullers have their best odds, Caesar must not like us. FanDuel has Javier at +3000. That's probably the best bet on the board.




Edit: Just realized FanDuel & MGM both have Framber & Lance with the same odds. (+2000 & +5000)
