35 year old Erik Kratz.



So much more upside than Heineman or Pena

That move might do us good for about 3 weeks.

Kratz has been added to the 40 man according the Astros twitter. Certainly looks like they acquired him to he the backup. I'm not sure why.

I don't care that they traded strailey because he wasn't making the roster anyway but I figured they would have set their sights a little higher.

shite... Why didn't they give Straily a catchers mit and chest protector... Gotta think he could do as good a job as this guy.


Are we missing conger yet?

So I guess we now have Kratz in the cradle.

We trade Straily and Wandy immediately gets shelled.

White makes the club and promptly goes 0-4 with a strikeout. Dude has gotten complacent. Call up black Amish.

One week away from Opening Day! Hard to believe this year could come close to how amazing the ride was last year but it sure does seems like we are headed that direction!

Thoughts after seeing the boys live tonight.

Team can mash..Springer looked good, as did Correa and Moran. Gomez is what we know he is. He is a crowd pleaser.

Didn't see too many shitty at bats..I know it was one spring training game but no one struck out more than once.

Correa is a natural. Just watching him warm up is a treat. So fluid.

Pitching sucked. Sipp was the lone highlight. Left right when Giles came in so can't comment.

If we can get solid starts from Keuchel, McHugh and Fiers and score against the opponents 4/5 starters and stay healthy I expect 95-100 wins.

Slow your roll.

AL West is going to be tight. 92 games wins the division.

Yes..fricking Rangers gonna be good. That a-hole Odor is having a great spring. Mariners will be 10 wins better than last year.

I think the same starting pitching as last year, a better bullpen, and being healthy (read: 500 Springer ABs) will win the West.
