yes, Abreu's struggles have overshadowed the fact that Bregman is having a worse month in May...than he did in April.Jet Black said:

His legs? Watch his swing. He's got a one trick pony swing. Either it runs into a meatball over the middle upper 3rd of the plate or it doesn't. When it does, it has a slim chance of going out at about 95-100mph. The rest is pure luck as it depends on where the fielders are when his lazy pop up or grounder to the left side makes its way to them. Anything to the right side means his swing is late as he has zero ability to purposely take something opposite field.
He did this last year and then fixed it. Stopped being so technical and started hitting what he was given. Now he's back to this ridiculously technical little league fundamental swing and it's awful. He needs to get it together. As of now, he's still valuable because he has an incredible eye and is nearly irreplaceable at 3rd base. I say stick him at cleanup where he was when he corrected last year. At the very least, he will see good pitches sandwiched between our two best hitters.
Dubon - LF
Altuve - 2B
Yordan - DH
Bregman - 3B
Tucker - RF
Peña - SS
Diaz - 1B
Meyers / Chaz - CF
Maldonado - C
Trade Abreu and one or two of our AAAA players to Miami for Yuli. Tell them you'll eat half the contract of Abreu. Admit you screwed up and move on.

Since this was directed at no one as a reply I am guessing it was a blanket statement to the crazy that must have happened during last nights game
I will take him.......every time there's a prop bet that he doesn't hit a homerun.chlavinka said:
Nobody will take Abreu. He's finished.
If they have followed the Astros for any amount of time they would have known there was no way they were winning last night. The scored 12 runs on Monday. Surprised last night wasn't a no hitter.Ag_07 said:
You guys really didn't think we were gonna win out did you?
Win streak was gonna end eventually. Time to start another one

Semi-hot take that I'm sure you will all agree with: this is maybe our best defensive alignment.Wabs said:
Whoa! Meyers and Chas in the same lineup!
Absolutely our best OF alignment. I would say Dubon at 2B is a slight upgrade over Altuve (defensively and at this point in their career). I hope Dubon keeps the bat going. Catcher, I think is a draw at this point, with a slight lean to Maldy. Yes, I know Yanier has a cannon, but that brain fart yesterday shows his youth in decision-making. Maldy definitely has that over him. I hope Maldy can keep recent success at the plate going...RED AG 98 said:Semi-hot take that I'm sure you will all agree with: this is maybe our best defensive alignment.Wabs said:

I think the only positions that are really up for debate would be:
C - It's really close and with more experience I think Yanier will eclipse Maldy.
2B - again, pretty close at this point in their careers

They have to be careful with Dubon as well since they've chosen to have more pitching on the roster available leaving a shorter bench. I've also speculated that they're keeping his future salary in mind if arbitration happens in the offseason, but I doubt it's much of a factor if any.Marvin said:
May be a stupid idea for obvious reasons I'm not seeing, but I wonder if we will see Altuve at DH to get Dubon more playing time? Seems like a decent idea from an offensive perspective and would save some wear and tear on the old vet.
