The Astros should pass at this point……let the Yankees and Red Sox get in a bidding war.
Money spent better elsewhere.
Nolan Arenado but only if its salary dump for a few stiffs.
My father in law calls Dezenzo “The Rooster”.
Zach Dezenzo, 3B, Senadores de San Juan (Puerto Rico)
Only on MLBTV live & w winter package.
Did not see him.
Watching most of Caribbean Series in late Jan.
Japan the international guest this year.
1st time invite. Should be some scraps.

yeah, not really buying Bregman is next in line at the top of their list…could very well be somewhat of a knee-jerk if they did it…Yankee Stadium not the best of venues for him anyway (plus Yankee fans will have zero patience for his April/May swoons))…Fenway, though, different story.

Arenado is losing it faster than Bregs….better not trade for that guy.
Dana thinks he needs a filler this season….made comments that internal guys were 6-12 months away at 3b.
Guessing he is talking about Matthews.
I’d rather have Dezenzo than Polanco….use the money on a legitimate first baseman.
FWIW——- his dad is a long time Yankees fan and always wanted him to play there at some point.
oh, I’m sure it wouldn’t hurt Bregman’s feelings to get the offer! I just don’t know if the Yankees would be convinced to make the commitment
Yeah, the big dip in power for Arenado concerns me…plus his OBP is awful…guy draws zero walks
Doesn’t sound like a team player. Starts screaming first thing in the morning and screws the help all day.

There are rumors at the winter meetings that Framber and Tucker are available I think if Bregman stays its a dead pipe lock both are moved.
I don’t think Bregman will be an Astro.
I don’t either and there is a chance they trade both especially if they don’t like the number Tucker is asking for next year.
If there’s anything this team doesn’t need its a guy that can’t draw a walk. That might be the biggest thing I’ll miss about Bregman. I do think Dezenzo will be a very good player. He also has that Bregman-esque tenacity

Negative…it would be quite the opposite. If Bregman stays, the likelihood Tucker and/or Framber plays out the last year here is greater…because why wouldn’t you lean towards keeping them (unless you are overwhelmed and floored by an offer)? At that point, Astros stay in win-now mode for one more year, at least. You can never underestimate the importance of rings. They are priceless. Even if you risk losing Framber and Tucker for nothing, it’s still worth it if it results in a ring.
Zach Dezenzo does very little for me at this point (for next year, at least). He is no Alex Bregman, senator.
Apparently Dana reads Coogfans baseball board.
That has been suggested many times on this board.
Exactly.
Put up good numbers in winter ball as well.
Jay, you are sleeping on Dezenzo….
Last year he was hurt most of the year……got rushed up to the bigs and still handled it….
Go look at his minor league numbers….they translate….big boy just needs more AB’s.
Bonus babies are not the only ones that become studs.
I like him (good on-base guy, solid power, good speed), just feel like he might still be a year or so away (the defensive marks are nowhere near Bregman’s, either, and I’m sure he’s a little behind Brice Matthews in the pecking order as well).
All the same, I’m thinking about NEXT year. Beyond that, groom away with the kid.
I love that the kid is raking in winter ball….there is tough pitching there and he has walked as many times as he has struckout….
He has absolutely been rushed, no doubt about it….but I don’t think he needs another year in the minors….
Let him take some lumps on the big boy team….he is the type kid that will figure it out IMO.
If AB is gone I want him there….no need on someone like Polanco or similar blocking him.
I like Matthews a lot….i think they want to keep him at SS as long as possible….i could see them dealing Pena next year if he doesn’t up his game.
