I think you did a good job overall and you should be a playoff contender. I think if AJ Reed were available, I would maybe switch Berrios out with him. I think potential impact bats are a bit harder to come by and if "all" major prospects are still available, I'd just try to beat my opponents on the waiver wire for Snell, Giolito, Berrios, etc. when they're called up.

Thanks - I was trying to guess who would get called up first. Only a couple of guys really leverage the NA spot. I try to fill it as soon as my guy comes up.

I missed on Correa last year, but had Syndergaard, then Schwarber, then Seager last year.

When is Reed supposed to be up?

Anywhere from 2 weeks to 3 months honestly. You hear all sorts of varying reports. It should be the sooner side. There's typically inning limits for younger pitchers as well if that factors into your decision.

Depends on Tyler White, Duffy and Gattis' health.

Also, obviously, how Reed does against AAA pitching.

Astros are trying to win it all, and they're not going to waste time with guys struggling in the lineup if Reed is tearing it up in the Minors.
