OK, he’s Cuban. Check

HR power. Check

Plays all 3 OF positions. Check

So, when is he MLB ready, and why do we still have Reddick and Tucker?

No chance he's ready in time. We'll need a stop gap player in-between

I assume he's going to be fast tracked but that may still be late 2022 at best since he won't get a full minor league season until 2021.

Imagine the troll job if someone on the Astros started using this as their walkup theme.

Hunch cucks again

quote:

Former Astros manager AJ Hinch isn't dismissing the idea that Houston's 2017 World Series championship has been tainted by the sign-stealing scandal that cost him his job.

"It's a fair question," Hinch said in an interview with MLB Network. "And I think everyone's going to have to draw their own conclusion."

As much as I agree with your statement and hating his behavior of not standing up for his players in the past....he really has no choice but to bend over and take it in order to eventually manage again. This is the first step to earning a paycheck in baseball one day for him. But yeah, he is a cuck.

It's actually a great life lesson on not being a beta. Face what they are doing like a man and don't be passive aggressive about how you address issues (breaking tvs) and maybe you would still be employed. A manager or boss is not supposed to be a friend. He is supposed to manage. Stop the players from doing dumb shite and this would not have blown up. They obviously didn't respect him.

I have the DVR set for tonight but I'm just going to get mad watching it. It seems like the Red Sox will get off easy now because no one talked. Hinch sang like a canary in the investigation and it cost the Astros and the fans. If you're going to allow that shite to go on then you keep your mouth shut when the MLB starts asking questions. And if you're not willing to lie to the MLB, then you stop it the second it starts. You can't have it both ways and then want to be the victim on top of it.

I recommend Jose Maria Altuve until Leon is ready.

A.J. Hinch didn't answer the question about whether the 2019 Astros used buzzers. He only deferred to the Commissioner's findings.

@Haudricourt

Yep. Had a chance to say "definitely not. We did not do it." And he didn't do it.





Jesus Christ can we stop with this dumbass buzzer shite? Literally the only source for this was an anonymous Twitter account falsely claiming to be Beltran's niece. Theres no supporting evidence for it but everybody wants to believe the worst things they hear about those cheating Astros...including journalists. Isn't there some standard against furthering unsubstantiated twitter rumors? fricking hacks.

Depends, wasn't Gurriel in the majors the same year as signing. He could be like that or the guy the Red Sox signed a few years ago who never got past A ball

But still a Cuban player, we've seen some come over and perform according and others flame out. If the kid is advance as they think then a year would perfect. However, it could take longer obviously depending on if he is fast tracked.

I just watched the interview with Hinch.

I wanted to be more pissed at him, but they did a softball interview.

They make him look at the Gattis AB in a nothing White Sox game, where he strikes out.

With the huge microscope being used on this, can we not come up with ONE game changing, or even playoff pitch instance?

I mean, are you fricking kidding me?
