You have to manage the MLB roster with your head, not your heart. Relying on past their prime 35-40 year old players is not the way.

Brantley has a long track record of bad health. And he's older. Hard pass.

JV will demand way more than he's gonna be worth at 40 plus. It has to be a team friendly deal.

Yuli, tough one. My favorite astro player of this run. I don't think you can go in counting on him to produce. Power was way down this year and he's not gonna get better with age. I think 1b is a position we're serious upgrade can be made offensively.

I let Diaz and Montero walk. Hensley can do everything Diaz did and not made of glass.

100% agree. Well, 99%. I'd be willing to pay market rate to keep JV. Offer him a 3 year deal, 2 full, with 1 mutual option which only kicks in with certain number of innings pitched.

First base is a huge opportunity for this team to get better. Spend money there and on Tucker. Lock him up just like the other core guys.
