That’s what happens when you throw 88-91. He’s a solid #3-4 type now and nothing more

I think I'd rather see Leon stick at shortstop (so far, that part hasn't been the problem but can he hit?) while maybe signing Marte to fill the CF void.

I have a lot more faith in Pena as a long term SS answer than Leon, it really sucks he’s going to lose a year of at bats though

How and why he would swing on 3-1 after 2 walks and a 3-0 count vs a guy who can’t throw back to back strikes is a fireable offense.


I feel like baseball IQ has been greatly diminished in the three true outcome era.

I don't think the Astros do, considering they made the decision to play Leon at SS before Pena got hurt.

Maybe they can get Baez to take the 5-6 year deal to replace CC. You can live with elite defense and a wild swinger who actually produces at the plate at a surprisingly high level.

I want absolutely no part of a long term deal for Baez

I don't disagree with that. I'd just have to think he could be on the radar.

Likely so, he would probably be on the higher end of what we would want to spend I think. I just don’t see the profile aging well. If he were forced to take a year type prove it deal sure but 5-6 years scares the hell out of me with him

I think he leads the NL in RBIs now after a slow start so there will be no prove it deal for Baez.

He pissed on that ball. Great baserunning by Yuli and Tucker and good send

Hated to see him lolly-gag there

I suspect not but there’s a lot of season left, and if there’s anyone who’s going to get squeezed in that SS market it will be him I think

I like Baez on talent alone

But you have to know there’s some baggage there

I can see it but I personally would rather pay Baez than Story.

Yeah I think they will be different price points. If we are talking the same money I’d rather have Story personally. I really like the Marte idea as a free agent CF
