    Always want your best bats to get as many AB's as possible. That said, don't read too much into anything that happens in spring training in week one.

      Been reading about a possible Tucker trade, and so I'm guessing a new high-dollar contract is off the table.

      Wondering if this is the last season we'll see Tucker and Bregman in Astros jerseys.

      I miss the America I grew up in.

        I know they’ve both expressed a desire to stay but money talks. Would not be surprised if this was the last year for both of them and would not be surprised if they both stay. I do think it’s more plausible for them to trade Tucker and resign Bregman.

          I see it the other way around...letting Bregman go and keeping Tucker. Either way, I don't think Crane wants to pay for both of them.

          I believe Bregman is going to see what he gets in FA after this season, and there is a team out there willing to pay up, especially if he has a spectacular regular and post season! Boras is notorious for taking his top talent to the open market.

          Tucker has 2 more seasons with the Astros before FA

              I’m not sure the ownership at the time was as committed to winning as the current ownership.

                    Who is going to be the surprise player this year? The minor leaguer that gets called up up the young veteran that finally gets a chance to play everyday because one of the older veterans gets hurt?

                      I'm hoping it's Jake Myers. He's penciled in as the starting center fielder, he hasn't been the same since messing his shoulder up a couple years ago.
                      I don't have anything clever to write here.

                        Read that Verlander went on IR today, supposedly as a cautionary measure. Projected to miss 2 starts.

                            We need him at the end, not the beginning. No reason to rush him.

                              It's always fun to see some young guy get the call up from the minors or make the team an the beginning of the season. I bet it's a huge difference playing on the big leagues versus playing minor league ball.
