We signed his off waivers
He was "claimed" off waivers. We then had to arrange a trade for him. We sent Papierski to the Giants.

And I think I need to make one correction, though. I think his arbitration officially started this year.

As a married man I'll cut that check every single time. I can save money elsewhere, like rewearing my own clothes

Thanks. Sportrac had Dubon as UFA on his page after this season, but then when you search for Astros FAs, he's not eligible until 2027.

They just don't list out the years anymore. It says 2027 where you'd expect to see 2024.

Jesus hit .306 for the Astros in 1970 but was unfortunately was that rare combination of player who didn't steal many bases or hit many home runs.
Jesus was one of the few players of his era I can think of that might have been bothered by the pitch clock. He would go into these almost bizarre stretching yoga-like exercises before coming to the plate. Sometimes he would even drop his bat. It could be funny. Best I remember he didn't do it between pitches. The guy could hit though.

Somehow the other teams thread was above our thread and apparently it has already devolved into a weird combination of fantasy baseball/real estate territory.

Sucks to have to throw in the towel on your season 2 weeks into spring training

I plan to attend a game in Arlington on opening weekend with the Phillies in town. The stench will be palpable.

It hasn't always been the case, but Altuve is really good at jumping on the first pitch.

Year: First Pitch Swinging OPS / Took First Pitch OPS
2022: .949 / .897
2021: .884 / .805
2020: .642 / .615

His Slugging goes thru the roof on it.

Any pitcher or team that throws Jose anything first pitch but a breaking ball away and in the dirt gets what they deserve.

I assume 2017 - 2019 were just as high as '21 and '22. 2020 was the rare year where he struggled

I've joined the Rangers' fans fantasy baseball group so I can draft Joey Gallo #1 overall.

Sure, but the point is the difference between the two. Altuve has been about .060 OPS points higher on the first pitch vs not over the last 3 years.

We had the 2nd worst system in baseball just 2 years ago.

https://www.mlb.com/news/2021-farm-system-rankings

Yet since then we have the following guys fall off the list: (End of 2020 Rankings)
  • Jose Urquidy (2)
  • Abraham Toro (3) - turned into Graveman & Montero
  • Bryan Abreu (5)
  • Christian Javier (6)
  • Jeremy Pena (7)
  • Hunter Brown (9) - still on the list but will be off soon.
  • Luis Garcia (17)
  • Chas McCormick (25)
  • Myles Straw (NR) - turned into Yainer Diaz
  • Jake Meyers (NR)

Pour one out for La Pina. He was fantastic while he was here and always did whatever was asked (like moving to 1B) and seemed like a terrific clubhouse presence. I'll always remember his time as a Stro very fondly.
