We had to cut Fubo due to expense, so I haven't watched live Astros games in a few days. Just listened and watched recaps. We're undefeated in that time. You're welcome.

Definitely. Team defense has slid dramatically over the last two years. Getting more mobility in the OF helps as well as some speed on the basepaths. Thats also why I want cabbage getting more time at 1B. Having that speed throughout the lineup makes the pitcher and catcher work a little harder.W said:
good article by Chandler
he's seen what everyone else has seen regarding the position player group
the Astros definitely need or needed to get younger, faster, and more athletic
I'm talking about if you are choosing between Bregman and Adames, not necessarily that you need to make that move. Regardless, your argument is missing the fact that you can also get assets back for Peña so you aren't just wasting that cheap value. Plenty of teams will pay up for a cost controlled SS (even one that's just average).Farmer1906 said:
135 M for 10.7 WAR or get 7.4 WAR for arbitration, during Pena's prime, with our best position player prospect at SS.
We have much bigger needs at 3B, 1B, & pitching.

East Coast bias again. No mention of Blanco -- who has been magnificent.
I understand Judge and Soto being high on the MVP list -- but Tuck is too low.
And the snippet about the Astros -- while a lot of it true -- reeks of desperate Yankees fan.

Interesting that Blanco is not included on the AL Cy list. I'd be surprised if he maintains the level all year, but his numbers are as good/better than most of the guys listed....
From the Astros: Major League Baseball announced today their second balloting update for the 2024 MLB All-Star Game presented by Mastercard. Like last Monday’s update, three Astros currently hold positional leads: 2B Jose Altuve, DH Yordan Alvarez and OF Kyle Tucker.

A.J. Blubaugh just had a huge start in El Paso.

2021-2024. This is OF sorted by how often runners try to take extra base on them, vs. expectations. So there's a lot of weak arms there, & for good reason: They're not throwing runners out.

.. except for Yordan. He gets no respect. He gets challenged. And then he makes the play. pic.twitter.com/CFtenICbbp

I realize that, but now he's conceded that he cheated without fighting it at all. Given our recent history, you'd think that would matter more than one additional start both to him and the organization. The dude is an outside Cy candidate right now. Would I put money down that he will continue his excellent start to the year? Absolutely not. But now with this, and especially not even fighting it, he has not shot, even if he dominates the rest of the year.
All that assuming he actually did NOT cheat. That's just how I feel.

I would argue that Blanco not being on the list has more to do with the fact that not many outside of Houston know him yet than the sticky stuff incident.

I remember back when Benintendi was the hot commodity as a free agent. Yet another big time bust after a big payday. Crappy team hurts him, but he was supposed to be a bell cow. Really surprised he's sunk this low.
To be fair we did the same with AbreuW said:
