As things stand, Houston will have picks #17, #28, #60, #91, #120, and #131 in the top 4 rounds.

I think Diaz is a hard worker. I just think he’s stubborn and prone to inconsistency which have prevented him from taking the next step. And he was unlucky offensively in 2025. But it’s a shame he can’t learn to be more selective and take more bad pitches. He could be a monster.

Relative to their current fangraphs war projections, the guys I think have the best chance of surprising to the upside are: Correa (3.7 fwar projection): It won’t shock me he if busts out with a full, healthy, MVP caliber season. Paredes (2.0): Even if there isn’t a trade that opens an everyday spot on defense for him, I expect him to play the field most days and get more pa than they’re project him for. He will end up closer to 4 war than 2. Cole (0.6): The projections are down on his defense and it’s looking likely that Meyers will be shipped out and Cole will be given first crack at the everyday CF job. He has immense ceiling with his power and speed; a season like Joey Gallo had in 2021 (4.4 fwar) isn’t likely but it’s possible. Matthews (0.2): Cutting Dubon and Urias loose opened the door for Matthews to take on a super utility role, playing 2B, CF, and LF as they get guys more rest than in prior years. If another infielder is traded it could also open the door him effectively being the backup at 3B and SS. Either way, even in a bench role he will be a pinch running weapon. Hes a very high ceiling prospect and I expect him to for outstrip his 0.2 fwar projection. Javier (0.9): Javier has always been underestimated by the projection systems. If he doesn’t get hurt he will easily more than double the 0.9 fangraphs is predicting.

2nd, 3rd, and 4th year Arbitration salaries are heavily influenced by the prior year’s salary. Meyers only made $2.3M last season (his first year in arbitration) because he hadn’t had much consistent production his first 3 seasons. So his $3.5M estimate represents a big raise. McCormick made more earlier in arbitration because he already had multiple 2+ fwar seasons on his resume going into his first year of arbitration, so his number ended up so high because he started off higher.

Most likely Zach Cole would be at the top of the depth chart coming into ST, but Brice Matthews, Jacob Melton, and potentially even Cam Smith and Jesus Sanchez could all be in the mix.

Some of the dumbest shit I’ve read about crypto is how it can be an alternative/replacement for the US Dollar. As if Bitcoin would be worth fuck all if the dollar were to collapse. -
ETA: just realized these don’t have the ANC. The description is very misleading, as if says they have ANC in the description but then clearly in the outline section says this version doesn’t have it. Fuckers.

You might not be a crypto bro but you are repeating crypto bro talking points. The ideas that cryptocurrency has as much underlying utility as publicly traded stocks or that the US dollar is as “artificial” as bitcoin cannot be described as anything other than fucking stupid. There’s also no convincing evidence that crypto is “non-correlated” or contra-correlated” to more traditional investments. If anything crypto is just a more volatile leading indicator for more traditional investments. When bad times hit, it’s the first thing everyone will dump, when there’s boatloads of excess cash floating around and nowhere to put it, bitcoin skyrockets. It is a store of value based on blind faith. You can glorify “financial nihilism”, but I am pretty sure that’s just another term for gambling. You can write off “Warren Buffett style investing”, but I’m pretty sure that’s just another term for “investing in actual value”. -

Sorry but this is crypto bro bullshit. -
I think he’s being brought in as a RP. But the more guys they bring in like this on guaranteed big league deals, the more likely I think it is that Lance McCullers will never pitch for the Astros again. Out of options pitchers on Houston’s 40 man roster: Brown Javier France De Los Santos Ort Pearson Abreu Hader Sousa King Okert Alexander McCullers Weiss That doesn’t include Wesneski, Blanco, or Walter, who will be on the IL, or Arrighetti, who would almost certainly make the roster.

Well sure, but it’s what is driving the speculation. For things like real estate and publicly traded companies, there’s underlying utility driving the speculative value. For Bitcoin (and precious metals), it’s blind faith. -

Sure. Bitcoin is an actual product as well; it can be used as a transactional currency with a self maintained ledger. But like gold and silver, such a large percentage of its value comes from speculative investment that the value from its actual utility is meaningless.
