I don't think Vlad is going anywhere, but what about Justin Turner? He's played a little 1B, should be on the market, and hits LHP very well.

I'm all for Kikuchi being an arm to help us end the season but I watched him suck way too much in Seattle for me to think he is worth any decent prospects. Hopefully I am way wrong.

Kikuchi is fine as a #4/5 type. He will replace someone like Bloss and maybe allow Brown & White to skip a start here or there.

I'd much rather get Snell

Probably wouldn't cost tons of prospects either

Yeah I don't disagree just hoping we're not giving up good prospects to get him

I'd be very good with Kikuchi and Turner

I think there is value in this for sure, but is that worth giving up anything? My personal opinion is no.

Can we not patch something together to allow a skipped start here or there without giving up stuff for a #4/5?

Pitching greater need than offense, assuming Tucker returns.

Dana should not assume Tuck is returning, IMO. Not in a sell the farm type way, but at some point you have to reset expectation, and hope this isn't a Bagwell in 94 type of season.

I could be wrong, but I doubt Kikuchi would cost much in terms of prospects.

The problem is who are you realistically going to get that is an impact bat to somewhat make up for Tucker that you can actually afford? Astros can't afford whoever that is. The Astros realistically can only get marginal offensive help.

So, you have to hope Tucker comes back and focus on shoring up your pitching. Sure, add the marginal bat if the price is right, but don't do it at the expense of the pitching you need. I believe Dana understands this.

I agree, but my point is more why give up anything if you can make the same result happen with your organization that might also give some experience to some guys?

I just have no desire to give up anyone for Kikuchi.

Many other teams want him so that drives up the cost.

All I know is that Loperfido 35% strikeout rate is alarming and I would like to get some help there...NOW. Not in September when Tucker *may* come back.

If you want impact bat that is going to cost you, especially if that player is controllable. That's up to the organization obvs but this isn't a getting .950 OPS for Forrest Whitley scenario

How do you get the help now?

Who are you targeting and how are you getting them?

Speaking of Whitley - this dude needs to get called up and give Seth and Tayler some much needed rest.

Anybody interested in purchasing 2 tickets for tonight's game? SEC 122 row 13 seat 12 & 13

These are our season tickets and had a conflict popup last minute we can't go.

I'd rather trying to unload them here than seat geek so message me if interested

The only thing I hope is that the Astros are being honest with themselves about Tucker and JV returning. A #4 pitcher is fine if we get JV back, but probably not good enough to make a playoff impact if he doesn't. Blanco has not inspired much confidence lately, Spencer is inconsistent and the pen is looking taxed.

60% CSW is pretty hilarious, even on only 10 pitches.

With all this Gleyber Torres noise, could he be a potential target for 1B? Been pretty good against lefties the last couple seasons.

The noise is that he wants to play 2B.
