    This is a very good problem ….

     

    The Astros have a crowded rotation and it's going to be like that for a while. SP's under contract, not including minor leaguers...

    2024
    Framber
    JV
    Javier
    Brown
    France
    Urquidy
    LMJ
    Garcia

    2025
    Framber
    JV
    Javier
    Brown
    France
    Urquidy
    LMJ
    Garcia

    2026
    Javier
    Brown
    France
    LMJ
    Garcia

    Looking at 2024 and assuming Garcia and McCullers come back healthy, who can move to the bullpen and be effective?

    Stanek and Maton need to be replaced.

    I don't have an issue with this.  He's basically one anyhow, and the (D) label next to his name is going to be a hindrance in 2024.  He'd probably have a better shot winning as an independent that caucuses with the Dems. 

    Completely agree - This may keep him in the Senate for another term loosely affiliated with the Dems which is equivalent to the current situation. It’s also preferred to having one more R Senator.

    I found out today that although Lamarr Hoyt won the Cy Young he was not an All-Star that year. It’s hard to believe that’s happened 17 times with Bret Saberhagen winning 2 Cys without being an All-Star either time.

    GIvien his history, I don't think anyone has faith this time will be different.  It would different if he hadn't of sucked with the Brewers this season.

    If he hadn’t sucked with the Brewers, he wouldn’t be here. If there’s no faith, what was the point of signing him and giving him regular ABs in Sugarland?

    It doesn’t make sense to not give him a shot at this point.

    It's almost like the Machete haters refuse to believe these players when it's been explained many times. Ffs, even Chandler tweeted an aggressive "let me dumb it down for you, stupid" recently in answering the Maldonado vs Diaz question.

    I'm not saying I want Machete over Diaz, I'm just accepting the reality as explained by Astros pitchers and insiders. It is what it is.

    We all understand that the pitchers believe this; however, the Machete haters also believe it’s bullshit. This is why they can’t bring Maldy back next year. It could create team chemistry issues if they bring him back as a true backup to Diaz.

    he's locked up thru 2025 (i think).  if we get to the point where he's hearing offers from multiple teams, we've already fucked this up.

    His agent has already told him what he’s worth on the free agent market. Assuming he stays healthy, it will be a massive amount of $$$.
