Houston Astros Baseball & MLB Discussions

Yikees. Thanks for looking up. He got released for a reason. Not sure he makes the team out of ST, if deal gets done.

You prob already know rtcoog but wasn’t he drafted same yr as Bregman n i thk in Top 5 like Bregman. Well actually there ya go Breggie replacement. :grin::smile:

Yup, he went one spot below Bregman.

Rogers issue is that he hits the ball on the ground a league worst 56%!

In Colorado for cripes sake.

If our hitting coaches can work on lifting the ball some he could be valuable.

Let’s remember that Rogers was a non-tender for 5.5M in last year of ARB….its not as though he is some guy that has bounced around from club to club in AAA….the man has talent.

BTW, if Yainer can get back to lifting the ball the way he did as a rookie, he will go 30/100 this year.

Pollard Guaranteed ( apologies for use of 3rd person)

Ok, didn’t really follow him much. I was responding to more that he was better hitter than Dubon?

Let it play out.

Can you put “Pollard Guaranteed” in quotations and bolded? This will help me when I’m doing my research for my online teams.

Just don’t understand this feverish rush to put Altuve in LF.

Well, if it’s something they’re going to try, it makes sense to get him out there as often as possible during ST. It’s not like he really needs many reps at 2B to figure that out.

But I think the decision has been made and that he’ll only play 2B if injuries to one of the other IF force that or if his replacement is an offensive black hole and they decide to so roll with one of the rookie outfielders instead.

I’m sure it’s gonna be fine.

I would ask that everyone post one image to set the tone for the season. I’ll start:

I’m thinking wildcard.

Network w a streamer could showcase MLB much better.
Will it be similar $ ?

Bennett Sousa, Lefty reliever that was good in a small taste the year before….missed all of last year with “thoracic outlet syndrome “….

Has been up to 95MPH this spring….If Whitley can put that 100mph FB to good use this BP could be salty.

Don’t sleep on Gusto as the next unheralded prospect to become a good SP.
