Good to be around, I've checked in now and then, but should be a more frequent poster.
Been going through rehab (back) and basically miserable for a year or so.

in that case, you might as well trade Pete and anyone else that would be getting a Qualifying offer...we wouldn't get jack if we kept him and he signed elsewhere

The question is whether the return is better than the replacement value during a playoff push. If they feel Vientos at 1B and say Iglesias starting at 3B is a marginal loss, then they maybe make that move. My guess is they view the playoff push and avoid a fan revolt is more important than the prospect Pete brings back - QO value be damned. I think you're far more likely to see this on the pitching side with Senga coming back, but even there, I'm not so sure based on their 6-man rotation claims. |

As for Verlander - he's only at 25 pitches in his BP sessions. He's got to be at least 1-2 starts away. There's a 0% chance in my mind he makes the cutoff. He pitched 5 innings on September 2nd, bringing his total to just over 71 innings... Which leaves him with just under 69 innings needed with 23 Astros games to go...which is likely about 4 or 5 starts left... 69/5 is 13.8 innings per game...so unless he's got 5 Nolan Ryan 14 inning games left in his season; I think that you nailed it... |
