    The "beauty" of 2026 is that we'll have a full season to get answers. If he doesn't show growth as a starter, he certainly profiles as a late-inning bullpen arm.

    I've only seen highlights of Houston, but my goodness.....

    I'm 58. I survived the early '80s, the late '90s, the threat of contraction, the early 2010s. I'm a lifer. I with they were going to be better. But there's always a reason to follow....this season, I want definitive answers on Wallner, Lewis, Larnach, Lee, Ober, etc.. I think 2026 will provide those answers, for better or worse. Second, I wanna see the young guys. I want to see 60+ games from ERodriquez, Jenkins, Culpepper, etc. I wanna see 20+ starts from Bradley, Abel, Zebby. I wanna see Prielipp make 40 appearances out of the 'pen. I wanna see Festa out of the 'pen in August/September. I wanna see KRojas get a cup of coffee. In short, I want a direction for 2027 and moving forward.

    Not a red flag....a RED flag.
  5. HerbieFan
    Maybe they could trade one for a reliever...... :(
  6. HerbieFan
    So SIX different players started in LF?? Sheesh
  7. HerbieFan
    Two things for me here: First, I don't understand why they wouldn't have Funderburk in the bullpen. If you're not competing to win a division, you may as well find out what you have with a bunch of the young guys. Second, I don't care....I can't wait for opening day!

    No idea why Urshela and Chafin were ever in camp. Outman can go. I'll keep Roden instead and play the guy four years younger with at least a little upside
  9. HerbieFan
    Rest assured they will be scouring the late camp releases....

    "These guys need to buck the trend and turn some young arms into actual difference-makers in the MLB." You could turn "young arms" into "some young players, heck, ANY players" and you would describe why this team is where it is.

    Hope springs eternal. How refreshing would it be for a top prospect actually develop into a good mlb player??
  12. HerbieFan
    I just want the guys with the best chance to get people out. If a guy like Rogers has a better chance of getting a righty out than "Waiver-Wire-Claim" righthander has of getting a lefty out....
  13. HerbieFan
    As long as "89-91" becomes "91-93", we're good
  14. HerbieFan
    Is Clemens a good enough 2B to make this a good idea?
  15. HerbieFan
    This kid just looks the part....and the stuff matches.
  16. HerbieFan
    In two words? No...chance
  17. HerbieFan
    "That may sound dramatic" VERY dramatic. In HISTORY?! Cody, you must be a LOT younger than me! :)
  18. HerbieFan
    Wonder if he won't end up on the 60-day IL to clear a roster spot early in the season. Then he can be slowly ramped up and would be ready to pitch at AAA by June 1.
  19. HerbieFan
    "you’d rather see some early contact." Some contact....any contact. So Wallner is in mid-season form...
  20. HerbieFan
    I've always felt they hesitated to run Lewis b/c of his history of soft tissue injuries. Maybe with Falvey and Baldelli gone that changes? I'd LOVE to see some of those young guys getting opportunities in the second half of the season. This whole season is going to be about finding what they have anyway, so why not?
  21. HerbieFan
    The "vast arsenal" screams starting pitcher. Wonder if they will try to streamline that arsenal a bit to try and get to 3-4 plus pitches. If that doesn't work he could maybe got the Jax route - fastball, change, hard slider and move to the pen in 2027.
  22. HerbieFan
    I appreciate Shelty wanting to be more aggressive on the bases. HOWEVER, Falvey left behind maybe the slowest, least athletic roster in baseball. So, except for Buxton, Keaschall and Martin, who runs?
  23. HerbieFan
    I think it's been established that a "fireman" in the 7th or 8th inning is as valuable as a closer in the 9th. I don't think we'll see a true "closer". It's going to be matchups, matchups, matchups all year.
  24. HerbieFan
    Grumble, grumble...trade him!....grumble, grumble...cheap Pohlads...grumble, grumble...trade everyone....the sky is falling...grumble, grumble.... :)
  25. HerbieFan
    I'm waiting til the deadline.
