Astros in for a 4 game weekend set - June 7-10

[BULLPEN FAILURE]

At least Martin Perez should be fresh in 2019.

Even when fresh, Perez inspires almost no confidence.

 

[scotsman1948]

Why? Because your statement is an exaggeration.

2019 projected staff first draft

1. Minor
2 Perez
3 Fister
4 Herandez
5. Pick up via trade this midseason or from minor league depth some of which are already on 40 man

Will agree we are not trying to add elite pitching via FA. Just not thinking we are going to go after fluff

why not? we aren't planning on competing

 

[scotsman1948]

And this is a good thing? Seriously?......I know we hope so, but as of now, the jury is out if he is a #3/4 starter.

actually the jury is out on if he is even a #5/6

GOD STFU

 

[scotsman1948]

GOD STFU

why are you so antagonistic? the odds are that we do very little other than sign fluff pitching for the 2019 season

 

[scotsman1948]

GOD STFU

all you have to do is look at the starting rotation he posted with Minor, Perez and Fister as his #1 thru #3 and you can see it is a fluff rotation so why not add a 4th fluff pitcher to complete the ensemble?

Fluff is a bit harsh. Original point was we did not need 3 pitchers. The 3 mentioned plus Hernandez should be serviceable.

Obviously you need and Ace and strong #2 and #3 to compete for division. But that has nothing to do from what I suggest will be another developmental year

 

[Kelleyman]

The power will come. Gotta think he’s trying to get his approach straightened out.

I really think a 20 HR 2nd baseman who runs the bases above average, good contact hitter and a decent glove is who we want. I hope Odor becomes that. Same for Profar too. Let the best man play

Base running - Profar

Contact hitter- Profar

Glove ( at 2nd) - Profar

Home runs / power - Odor

Walks - Profar

 

[Kelleyman]

Of interest thought of flipping Chavez for Moore which makes sense and IKF catcher thoughts

Exactly.

Why are so pessimistic/cynical about EVERY FUCKING THING?

 

[Duane1952]

Cole Winn has signed.

 

[Kelleyman]

Great org

 

[BULLPEN FAILURE]

Cole Winn has signed.

I have not seen this reported anywhere online.

 

[scotsman1948]

Why are so pessimistic/cynical about EVERY FUCKING THING?

What is happening that should make me optimistic at this time? And why do you have your panties in such a wad?

 

[scotsman1948]

Cole Winn has signed.

Now that is good news

Now I can agree with that
