As far as the draft goes I expect them to draft a college bat in the first round who they can sign under slot value. And then use the extra cash to draft a high upside HS kid in a later round and sign him above slot value. Much like they did last year with Jaworsky and Ochoa. An arm is possible as well but I 100% expect it to be a college kid.




I still expect a college bat.

Welp, more bad unreviewable umpiring that works against the Astros. Feel like we're seeing a trend here

Ump squeezed Ronel on what should've been a 1-2 count (2-1 at worst) and forces him to come into the zone for a 1"2-run HR. The umps are absolutely terrible this season for the Astros.

Interesting. Was he referring to the first round or entire draft? I see a number of Cortez types (big power, low command) or guys with one great pitcher but others that are questionable. Going to take good scouting to determine who can be developed and who can't. Definitely not a lot of fast movers on the pitching side.

Offense picking right up where they left off yesterday…the break is coming at the right time as the offense is showing lots of signs of heading into the deep freeze.

That's 6 out of the zone to start the 2nd.

I guess 11 free bases weren't enough yesterday, so the Astros have given up 2 in 2 innings today. On pace to challenge that giveaway.

Difficult to get to that suspect pen if you see an average of 10-12 pitches per inning.

So, I do start to wonder…what could Peña fetch in trade value? Feels like Dubon would be a better every day option at SS and his "potential" could cause some team to overvalue him.

Feels like he is just a dead spot in the lineup more often than not…outside of the ALCS/WS in '22, has there been a point where you felt really comfortable with him out there?

(I'm talking about getting a frontline a
Starter or outfielder in exchange for him…not prospects)

You are grossly underestimating how good Pena is defensively and how valuable that is.

Working with a short response time, I failed to mention that it was a legitimate question about his value and I'm glad to hear the other side of it. In other words, that directly answers the question in that his defense plays enough of a statistical role that it'd short sighted to move him.

My watch list appears to be broken.

Kuhnel replaced Keuchel on Brewers roster today? 10 years ago who would have ever predicted that?

Not prepared today. They know it's coming and can't lay off that sweeping breaking ball.

Feels like you should get Blanco out after 5 and save his arm. Montero/Scott, Abreu, Pressly, Hader to finish the game.
