Julks has reverse splits.
The Astros left Corey Julks unprotected from the Rule 5 draft this winter. Twenty-nine other teams passed on him and, now, he’s made an opening day roster after five seasons of minor league ball.

Awesome for the guy! He's gotta feel good after all the grinding he's done.Wabs said:The Astros left Corey Julks unprotected from the Rule 5 draft this winter. Twenty-nine other teams passed on him and, now, he’s made an opening day roster after five seasons of minor league ball.

Farmer1906 said:This is an interesting pick. He kind of broke out last year and just showed all of the baseball world he's got huge balls with his 11.1 IP, 19K (not a typo), and .315 OPS (yes, on-base + slug). What does he have to do to surprise this year? Edwin Diaz type year? Turn into Cristian Javier / Spencer Strider?Big Al 1992 said:
Predicted Record: 99-63
Team MVP: Yordan
Team Cy Young: Framber Valdez
Rookie of the Year: Hunter Brown
Surprise Player of the Year: Bryan Abreu
Make 2 or more Positive Predictions:
We see 2 10 game win streaks and 1 15 game win streak
Yordan w 40 dingers
Make 2 or more Negative Predictions:
LMJ sees only 10 starts - back on DL
Still looking for hitting catcher at all star break (really could've used Vasquez here)
Also, this is #5 on predicting LMJ's doom.
Bryan Abreu would be a surprise as in an absolute shutdown middle guy that possibly could spell Presley as a shutdown closer or possibly start a few games and do great. Whatever he does he will be dominant and lots of people will notice.

We really do have a beautiful ball park.
Astros GM Dana Brown said Korey Lee needs to play every day. Brown called Lee “a big time, front line guy.”

“You can’t have guys like that sitting on the bench at the major league level. You need to get him playing time. Salazar is a backup catcher, he fits that role better.”

Enjoy your time on the 40 man roster Salazar… it will be short lived based on those comments
In.
I think Brown is building up the value of Lee to drive interest from other teams. I don't think he's anything special.
I'm excited about Salazar. He's been really good defensively this spring. I'm not sure about his offense but let's be honest it won't be worse than Maldy (God love him).
Yainer raked down the stretch and he's more versatile defensively. We'll need him to provide a spark at the beginning of the season with injuries to Altuve and Brantly.
I think it's gonna be a rocky start to the season but we'll hit our stride near mid June and be the team everyone thinks we're going to be come September.
Go Stros!!

Im looking for Ray Finkle.... and a clean pair of shorts. Im just a very big Finkle fan. This is my Graceland, sir.

I fell bad for Dirden.
Dude balled out and did everything he needed to make the roster.
Keep scalding it in AAA and hope we'll see him at some point this season.

I honestly think Maldy has a better than avg year. Since hes lost the weight he will feel reinvigorated.The Porkchop Express said:Well that's awkward.Deluxe said:Astros GM Dana Brown said Korey Lee needs to play every day. Brown called Lee “a big time, front line guy.”

My guess is he hits .200 this year with 12-13 HRs
Back in our seats. Let's do it again this year.

Ready for an awesome year!
The Astros beat the Space Cowboys 5-1. It lasted 2 hours and 21 minutes. The next game counts.

Let's see if Whitley can string together a number of starts. I still have hope!
