Then you dont want to add this year. So i dont want to hear you saying we need to add pitching. In fact, from your position, you should hope we go into the All Star Game 10 games under .500
Vlad ‘s Def is horrible. he rates in the 4th percentile for range so worse than 96% of professional ball. tHe is also not all that great at picking throws. Absolute worst first baseman. He’s only had more than 4 war once in his career and more than 3 war twice. He had 2 war last year. He’s a UFA in 1.5 years. Plus he is making 19.9 mil. He’s not worth it. At all. Big name. That’s it.
Dubon ain’t a 1B. It’s like moving Altuve to OF. He’s a super utility piece. That’s his role. He’s very good at it. With giving players weekly days off, it keeps them fresh and keeps him in the lineup.
Only move Bregman, McCormick, Singleton, Montero, Presley, thats it .Keep everyone else and run what you have the rest of the year. At the end of the year you know exactly what you need and you go out and get it. Simple
That is exactly what I am talking about. Also, trade Jake while he is hot. We can have valuable pitching prospects out of him as well. We need pitching, not hitter. Bring Shay from AAA, who will be much better hitter than Jake and Chas.
@@fernymaldadanado3250 Vlad in that LU for the Yankees does put them over the top. It’s worth it in my opinion for them. It takes the Astros from good to very good. It doesn’t move the needle enough for me here in Houston. Rather hold on to what little prospects we have.
The Vlad rumor is almost definitely a ploy to drive up the price, but take it a step further. They find a guy (Schwab) to float the rumor, and it drives traffic to his stuff. These "rumors" are almost always click bate nonsense. This stuff gets ridiculous in the offseason and near the trade deadline.
If they want Vladdy the move is to trade Bregman to aquire some of the assets needed to get Vladdy. Move Dubon to 3rd. Have Vladdy, JV, Framer and Tucker through the end of next season. I also wouldnt mind them moving Pressley if he could have a few more solid weeks. You gotta great creative and think outside the box like this if you want to make a meaningful addition. Not just lets trade the OF we play the least for Luis Robert JR.
That’s thinking outside box man. I love it. Dana won’t do it but yeah get something for Bregman who’s going to walk and use it to snag Vlad. Only problem is 3B is not a good fit for Dubby. I know he’s played there but maybe he gets better with more reps but he’s seems to be more of SS 2B OF guy than a corners guy n
@sagittariusemperor9692 No. I'm not saying Astross should sign him I prefer Dubon at 1st base if I have my pick. I was referring to ppl who keep saying Yankees want Vladdy. Vladdy already said he will not sign with Yankees.
All I know is that a trade will most likely involve Chas Kane McCormick. McCormick is getting older and was injured recently and they have fresh younglings guy's like Myers / Loperfido #10. People leave out the fact that we can trade with Phillies using there home town boy Chazz. Where's the meatloaf? Philly?
Tbh I think we'll be good even if we do nothing. There's some positive plays to be made in the front office but maybe waiting till next year isn't so bad.
Unless Bill O’Brien is approving trades in Toronto, we can’t afford him But what if they threw in a starter? I might take a look but still probably don’t have enough to close the deal
yes we starting pitchers, we don't need Vlad, 1b platoon is just fine. whats the status of Urqidy or that guy i have forgotten about Lance McCullers that has not ptiched in years. When are they coming back.
The hardest thing to make happen this year is pitching. Every team in MLB is looking for pitchers. An average pitcher right now will cost a premium. Every one will be way over priced. I think we have Verlander, Bloss, and Garcia coming back. Garcia, probably in August. I think Loperfido and Cabbage have done well. Leon is killing it in AAA. Tucker will be back. We can afford to lose Meyers and McCormick. Meyers has been good. He's not a superstar on offense though. McCormick is a bench player on most teams. I think Vlad would be huge for a couple years.
I mean....who wouldn't want Vlad? On paper, it would look great and it would undoubtedly make this lineup deep. Especially when you consider we would have him next season too. But man....is it worth what it would cost? Personally, I don't think it would be. I want the Astros to be competitive for years to come.....not put all eggs into one basket this season. I think giving Loperfido a shot there, and getting adding pitching depth would be more prudent.
This team DEFINITELY has to look at conditioning and injury recovery. SEVEN starters on the IL??? All the injuries this spring? Just ridiculous. Might be time to shake up the medical staff.
It would be sweet if somehow we could pull off a trade to the jays for Vlad and a starter maybe give up montero/ pressly and Chaz/ Jake and Pedro Leon but that would like absolute dream scenario not very realistic
@@kyland2394because they’re stupid. Manfred is the ONLY reason Trevor isn’t in the league. Somebody’s gonna finally throw the guy a bone, he’ll prove he’s just as good as he was and manfred will pretend like he never hated the guy to begin with.
Let Dubi play first the rest of the year and move Diaz there next year. It will save Diaz's knees for long term. Salazar, Caratini can be catchers with Diaz still there for emergency. Sign Bauer to a two year deal with a mutual option for the second year. Verlander won't vest for next year, too many discomforts this year. McCullers will get hurt in third start. Iquidy is done as a starter.
I don’t get how media can always bring up cost when it’s not their money being thrown out there. Let crane worry about the financials…. If he wants a high dollar product so be it
@@user-os1yg3zl6i Astros need to get over it....Most of MLB talked trash about us and deservedly so....we did cheat and got caught....but that's past. We only 4 freaking SP!
The Rangers have 10 pitchers on the IL. Every team is looking for pitchers. If you can throw a knuckleball and you're under 50 years old...this might be your time to take a shot at your dream. LOL
Pitching is the need, but Vlad is a liability at first. Not worth the bat for the price. Loperfido needs more AB's. Small sample size. Do we remember Bregman in the first month and a half? We just went 10-1, let's go with this pitching till one or two of the starters return.
He was a realest. I liked his perspective. Being direct/blunt is mistaken for a verbal attack in today's generation. Sad times. He's probably in vacation. It is the summer.
Give Bauer a chance. Owner collusion. He deserves redemption. Let him pitch. I believe his accuser was even charged with something. He was unfairly targeted to be politically correct.
You guys know 0 about baseball. I was mad about getting Abrue I was all in in Olson. They need hitting not pitching. They cannot score runs screw the pitching. If they can get Vlad even if they trade a pitcher. We would have won at least one more world series if Dusty Baker was fired.
I’m baffled on how people rather keep chas over meyers. CHAS stinks! He will be easier to move since he dide hood last year I’d flip him in a heartbeat. He stinks in the outfield
Are you insane??? I get that they are in the IL but with that package you could probably get Juan Soto from the Yanks wtf VladJR is definitely NOT worth what you're offering
Ah yes. Throw in one of the best two closers in the last five years both with club control for 1 and 5 years respectively for a first basemen who hasn’t had an OPS above .800 since 2021.
Dubon can play first and he deserves to be in the lineup every day. He's earned it. We need more pitching.
The Astros can ill afford to give up any more prospects. As a matter of fact, they need to be ADDING some....
Are you suggesting we sell?
