  1. I for one am ecstatic. I'll be tracking his pursuit of the team strikeout record all season.
  2. Gallo with more hits than strikeouts in your sim. Credibility gone.
  3. It would be a colossal mistake if anyone other than Duran is the closer. Almost as colossal as not giving him a shot to be the ace at the top of the rotation.
  4. It'll be better but not as much better as fans expect.
  5. Actually as of this moment nobody's played a game and we, along with everyone else are exactly the same as last year.
  6. You should absolutely care. But beware that until you see those improvements actually play out on the field you can only speculate that it APPEARS that they have improved the roster.
  7. They were unable to replace, via the farm, a corner outfielder that the fan base has deemed highly replaceable. Does not speak well of said farm.
  8. No, it shows how far we HOPE we've come. HOPE is not a strategy. The coming months will show how far we've come.
  9. Kepler is still being used because, even though he may not be what we hope for offensively, nobody else has done what's needed to take the spot away from him. Buxton is not being used defensively, NOW. That could change. As could someone else show enough stick to take away Kepler's spot. Hasn't happened yet.
  10. The key may well be whether Michael Taylor's bat produces more than whoever else may have been the DH. Even though the guys we rotated thru the DH spot last year, in the aggregate, posted numbers worthy of hitting in the top half of the lineup, last I checked Nelson Cruz is now Joe Ryan and Jim Thome is old. Real old.
  11. We were in first place for a hundred days last year. I'd think it wise to wait at least fifty this year before making any determinations as to whether this roster is better. What happens the next six months has a funny way of determining that.
  12. Actually, we have a lot of options, MOST of whom can replace him right now. Farmer, Solano, Gordon for sure. Julien and / or Lee if we have the balls to take a shot. Pretty much just Lewis & Martin that can't step in now. Not to mention that this is the type of situation you brought Willi Castro here for.
  13. 83. Haven't added offensive punch; relying on health. What could go wrong? Added pitching depth but not an ace. What could go wrong? Bullpen should (could) be stronger--IF healthy. What could go wrong?
  14. This can't be. I've spent two months with folks telling me I was crazy for being concerned that we haven't addressed our lack of offense and now you're trying to tell me that in addition to that we're right back where we were with the injury situation. Woe is me.
  15. Should have targeted Gabriel Moreno when everyone thought the Jays would move a different C.
  16. Astros signed Jon Singleton to a 5 year $10 million deal in 2014. He rewarded them with 420 plate appearances and a negative .9 WAR
  17. It means that the 150 games a year we've been able to watch for free for the last few decades will no longer be free. OK, maybe they haven't been free. They've been factored into our cable cost. But at the end of the day they WILL end up costing you MORE. Which MIGHT be fine. The majority of folks who will read this have spent decades begging for the team to spend more. Here's our opportunity to contribute more so they CAN spend more. We should all be ecstatic.
