Worth a flier or has that ship sailed? He isn’t a spring chicken any longer and his walk rate is bad.

I was counting Peacock out as well.
What is Forrest Whitley doing? He would be a like candidate, but crickets.

I think more and more teams are getting comfortable with their "5th starter" being a guy who might only go 4-5 innings. I think James is that guy for the Astros, especially if Peacock is out of the picture and they're getting length from JV/Grienke/Urquidy. But is Dusty going to buy into that?
Can he put up 130 innings and 150+ Ks? ERA could be solid, WHIP less so, and wins might be hard to come by if he doesn't regularly go 5.

He's one injury away from a bigger role and there is serious age at the top of the rotation. That said, they also have Forrest Whitley as a potential hole plugger.

i'll take a flyer based on the HOU staff worked with him in the off season theory. i mean, Cole was a stud. he showed the ability before but i can believe they brought out the potential. Verlander is a stud, i don't know if he had some injured years in DET. i remember when there was a brief time to decide between drafting Bonderman or Verlander. then he went to HOU and got even better with age. i also think Kate Upton helped. whatever they are doing with pitchers in HOU i am a believer. if they say they worked with some guy to improve him, sign me up.
