Seems reasonable and fair for Framber.

As long as you feel comfortable with Framber aging and then I think that would be a good deal. He's a sinker Baller with a big breaking ball. He's not relying on High Velo so you would think he'll age well.
physically yes, mentally he scares the hell out of meFarmer1906 said:

Do you think I'll be less mature as he gets older?
Id sign up for 5/105 in a heartbeat
I want to see how he does this year without Maldy before I make a judgement on whether I'd want to extend him
Justin Verlander will begin the season on the IL, Joe Espada said. Verlander did not have a setback but won’t have time to build up before Opening Day and the Astros want to be “smart” with his buildup, Espada said.

I just read the article and it's not a 5-year extension at 105 its buying out this year and next then tacking on 3 years. It's more like a 3/75 M deal after arbitration for ages 32, 33, and 34. With the lack of arms in our farm system, I would be 100% in on this.
It would mean we'd have the following rotational arms in the future
2026: Framber, McCullers, Javer, Brown, France
2027: Framber, Javier, Brown, France
2028: Framber, Brown, France

Blessing in disguise. Opens the window for Arrighetti. Shortens the season for the 41-year-old. We'[ll be able to make room by putting Graveman on the 60-day IL, but it also might put pressure on Dana to clean up the 40-man a little by making some trades.spadilly said:Justin Verlander will begin the season on the IL, Joe Espada said.

big part of the risk unfortunately
Presuming Justin Verlander goes on the IL on Opening Day — March 28 — the earliest he could return would be April 11 against the Royals at Kauffman Stadium.

More updates from Espada:
— Brian McTaggart (@brianmctaggart) March 5, 2024
-- J.P. France will face hitters in live BP on Wednesday and is on target to begin the season in the rotation.
-- IF Chris Gittens & IF Dixon Machado were both reassigned to Minor League camp. Gittens recently had knee surgery/Machado has quad injury.
Random post of the day. Y'all check out the dimensions at Morehead State's ballpark.
Recruits lefty hitters only
Looks like NY
I remember playing games at Westchester Academy (Near 10 and Kirkwood). It had the wildest dimensions since it was a soccer field too or was a soccer field at one point.
LF - 290
LCF - 330
CF - 350
RCF - 400
RF - 370
LF - 290
LCF - 330
CF - 350
RCF - 400
RF - 370
Left fielder be like, "How's the weather at home plate?"
How about Colombia?
Their football / track hangs over the field / is the dugout. Then there is a river just behind CF so it's only like 340'. And there is some random gap between the stands and the field behind home.

I may buy tickets to KC just in case. With them building a new stadium I'd like to check it out anyway
Astros pitching plans for the next few days:
— Brian McTaggart (@brianmctaggart) March 5, 2024
Tuesday starter: Blanco (Martinez, Scott Suero among those in relief)
Wednesday: Valdez (Abreu, Coleman, Hader, Mushinski, Pressly, Ortega in relief).
Thursday: Javier (Bielak, Montero, Sousa in relief).
Friday: Arrighetti
Initial diagnosis: Partially torn UCL and flexor strain.

Giolito could require season-ending elbow surgery, per @JeffPassan.
He's on the first year of a two-year, $38.5 million contract. https://t.co/N4QJKedwdl
Ouch. This is why players want multi year options on prove it deals.
How long has it been since McCullers has hit the mound. Seems like almost two years? I can't see him making it through the season with his track record.
I am very tempted to go back in the next couple years before they move. That trip was a blast, and I think it is a mistake to move the stadium.agdaddy04 said:

On another note, family booked flights and an airbnb last week in Boston (South End) for August 9-12th. Looking forward to that first trip to Fenway. Will be looking for recs from those of you who have been come July-ish.
what a disaster for the Red Sox

I loved my visit to Kauffman in '22. Very fun park, nice people, the Royals HoF in LF is awesome. It is in a concrete wasteland 8 miles from the city center but it is what it is.

I love the guy but he's a 85 million dollar cheerleader now
Im looking for Ray Finkle.... and a clean pair of shorts. Im just a very big Finkle fan. This is my Graceland, sir.
MAGA

Oppo taco heaven.
That, I did. Good catch. He'll be there in 2026. It'll be interesting to see how he's used moving forward.EastCoastAgNc said:You forgot Luace in hereFarmer1906 said:

I visited both Kauffman and Busch Stadium last year. The difference between the two was night and day, but I'm sure the new park in KC will be great.Beau Holder said:agdaddy04 said:

Astros GM Dana Brown said he’s not in the market for starting pitching. He envisions a rotation of Valdez, Javier, Urquidy, Brown and France to start the season. Additional depth with Ronel Blanco and Spencer Arrighetti.
— Brian McTaggart (@brianmctaggart) March 5, 2024
There it is. No mention of Bielak. Opened the door for Arrighetti.
Bielak is either trade bait or bullpen depth to start the year, I guess
I think we've seen enough over the years to know that Bielak is not starter material.linkdude said:

sorry, but what is the latest on Whitley's finger? Amputation? Little Tommy John?
