2019 Houston Astros Thread

6th straight series win taking the 1st 2 games.
21-6 since the Minnesota series, and that's with the dead weight that is White, Kemp, and Gurriel while losing Altuve, Springer, and Correa.

You forgot the White Sox split last week but I get your point.

It’s a good problem to have but suuuuuuuucks for the guys stuck in the minors 
i just hope we avoid the AJ reed situation, holding onto a prospect too long and not getting anything in return 

Fisher’s the only one close to being in that boat right now and they’ve still managed to get him some time.
Just hope he gets hot for the next month.

Pick 3 - fisher / straw / kemp / white 

Pick 1 - a young arm (not Whitley or Bukaukas) 

 

that should be enough to get a quality  #2/3 starter 

mariners and nationals are sellers

 

hell, throw in reed too

It'll be interesting to see what happens with mid-season trades this year with the hard July 31 deadline. It would seem reasonable to expect the timetable of serious trade talks to move up. We are now about 8 weeks from the deadline, so could get interesting in the next few weeks. 

I'd expect to see the Astros begin "cashing in" some of the guys that figure to be squeezed from the roster (Fisher, White, Straw, etc) like they did with JD Davis. Maybe they include some of them in a trade to upgrade the rotation, but they may also just trade them for lower-level prospects to get something for them (this seems like it will be White's fate). 

I'm sure they want to know more about the injuries to Springer/Altuve/Diaz and when they are likely to be back to 100% before really settling in on a plan of action.

There is only explanation for sitting Tyler White against a lefty starter yesterday with Altuve, Springer, Correa, and Diaz out, especially knowing that they are starting a right hander today.  White is on the move for Scherzer, possibly straight up if the Nats are willing to eat some of Scherzer's contract.

Per hinch, Diaz will get a rehab assignment before coming back. He’ll be the first one back 

Per lunhow, expecting joe Smith back before the all star break 

Martin’s development is not hurting this team. The plan is to give him a long look as a starter

Springer the furthest away from coming back. Damn

Josh Rojas is showing lot of promise in AA/AAA. In the mix for a call up

alvarez will be LF / DH, when called up. He’ll get a call up this season, sounded like sept

Astros minor league system has less arm injuries than the rest of league.

Nothing about Altuve?

All he said was Diaz will be back before Altuve.  

He did say lot of agents contacted him about trades when all the injuries hit. The plan is to let the new kids play and prove themselves
