So this is funny- it’s Maldonado’s hit chart. The red is him hitting 400. Every square that’s blue is 000.

Every crybaby Houston talk radio show should interview Peña to say they’re sorry.

Well considering their success with the pitchers, McCormick, and Pena; Perez developing wouldn't be that shocking.

I like Perez too, but the #1 ability is availability….not sure he’s going to check that box.

I’m enjoying the Peña emergence, but I also remember when Tyler White won AL player of the week.

Our starting rotation is sneaky elite. And if LMJ’s pussy ever heals, it will be Mariana Trench deep. 

[Scraps 13540]

Just give him the ROY now. I guess Kwan is the leader right now, but Pena is at least in the conversation.

Kwan may be the leader in taiwan

Still arguably the best avatar on Surly.

They must have a new guy/girl this year, trying to take a page from the Giants account.

Past years, very bland/PC/just the facts.

this year a lot of posts like that

Torkelson is definitely not the leader

Speaking of White, what’s going on with with Scrubb?

Yep. And Whitley is going to be good. And Brown too. It really really really argues for signing Tucker and Alvarez long term and adding a big bat at the deadline or into FA next year. 
When you have basically 5 starting pitchers that aren’t making dick and LMJ at 18 million which is nothing, plus cheap and good players at CF, SS, LF (I’m counting Chaz), and Catcher (question mark) there’s no reason not to extend your two best bats and load up at 1B too while you are at it. Altuve feels like a lifer but his next contract gets cheaper. Bregman I’m fine with seeing walk at 30 years old over giving him a 7 year type deal. 
I guess if JV wants to keep going on 1 year deals you might be looking at 40 or so to bring him back. You could do that with Javier, Garcia, Urquidy, Brown, Whitley, LMJ and Framber locked up and making collectively less than 40 million, but damn, I mean really. 
I’d be fine with packaging 2 of Urquidy, Garcia and Framber if it meant a middle of the order Bat at 1B or LF, if we do bring JV back. 
it’s pretty fucking nuts if we are being honest. And that doesn’t even count guys like Bielack who are pretty decent options for bringing up a guy that could probably pitch for a month as a starter and give you competitive outings.

Scrubb is doing card breaks on Whatnot

Dusty hates Chaz. I don’t get it.  Siri needs to get sent down or Dusty will play him. Like, literally if you want Chaz to play every day you need to get rid of everyone other than him. 

[WBT 20415]

Pressly coming in

To Click's credit, that's why he traded Straw last year

[Wulaw Horn 18974]

I think Chaz might be a total fucking moron. That’s not sourced just reading between the lines a little bit. That could be the reason Dusty hates him. 

[WBT 20415]
