re: DAT: 2017 Houston Astros Spring Training Thread

He needs time to get ramped back up, I think our rotation can hold it down while he gets extra ST work + rehab starts

Nah, he's giving up too many runs to be in mid season form. When he gives up 2 hits to start an inning and escaped unharmed, that's when he's ready.

ETA: Last bullpen spot, Hoyt or Gustave, who do you want? I'll take Jandel

Its a Gustave vs Hoyt battle since Brad Peacocked his way onto the club. My guess is Hoyt gets the spot out of camp since he's been effective against lefties and Tony Sipp is useless.

Hey Preston Tucker is still alive!


ETA: I wouldn't be surprised if a bad club targets him in a trade this year. He's blocked in Houston. He pretty much needs to be limited to DH. IMO he could hit 20 or so homers if a rebuilding team wanted to give him a long look at DH.

Hoyt working himself into trouble.

If you wanna get a beer let me know. I'll tell Ryno I'm getting nachos or something..

White Sox need young outfielders. If they end up getting one Tucker for Quintana, why not give them both? Besides, it looks like the left-handed hitting OF we really need to keep is Fisher.

I hear Fisher also loves the Ranger colored ad spaces in the outfield.

Tony Sipp continues to be useless. K'd a lefty, full count double, full count walk to a lefty

I think Hoyt has to be the guy, but I like Gustave's arm more than Hoyt's.

Mariners are going to be tough on everyone.

Sipp will be tough on Astros fans.


ETA: damn autocorrect.
