Well, they officially suck. Now would be the perfect time to panic. If you're into that sort of thing.

Whitley already sent back down. Why would you send him down so quickly? He pitched to four guys and got two of them out. I realize they have to clear a spot for Verlander but give him a chance! Send Abreu down instead! |

Sign Bauer. Sign Belt. Release Abreu. Release Singleton. Promote Loperfido.

Anything SIngleton has provided can be found somewhere else for just as cheap as he currently is. Try Cabbage then. Sign Belt. Singleton has a 92 OPS+ with 10 Ks in 36 plate appearances with 0 HR and 0 RBI. He can't run, and he's at -.2 dWAR already. There's no reason to save that level of performance as a backup. |

Singleton's MLB strikeout rate: 27.8% Loperfido's AAA strikeout rate: 33.3% The argument could be made. But the real issue is not rushing him to the Majors and possibly damaging his development just because you're trying to patch a hole that you should have patched in the off-season. |

Either sign Belt or promote Loperfido, who gives a sh*t, do f’ng something |

He's on pace for 8 doubles and 8 RBI this year. I know a great number of retired pitchers who would have loved to have had that type of production when they hit. |

I don't know if this is breaking news, but my cousin from H-town just sent me a text that info has come forward that Abreu is actually 49 years old. I don't have a link.

So I think Jose Abreu's contract goes down as the worst in Astros history. I wasn't sure how it compared to what we gave Carlos Lee when you factor in defense, but it's definitely worse from a money standpoint:
Lee: Average WAR per season 1.47 for $16.67 million a year.
Abreu: Average WAR person season (so far) -.7 for $19.5 million a year.
At least it isn't Rendon bad. Rendon is going back on the IL. Average .7 WAR for $33.5 million a year so far.

Abreu: Average WAR person season (so far) -.7 for $19.5 million a year. Before Lee broke his pinkie, he was light years beyond what Abreu’s offered thus far. Plus, Lee was above average at avoiding striking out for a slugger. Abreu is late on every pitch. |
