            • KS, I recall you writing of Keuchel--no one works harder. At the time, I remember thinking, that is great to see on a team, but hard work on its own doesn't guarantee success in an environment dominated by hard working elite talents. So, I didn't think much of how that testament to his character might translate into sustained success on the field, given his lack of a track record, and no other comments about his abilities.

              Now I realize I should have been reading between the lines. Since your position requires that you always be measured in your discussion of your team, I should have seen that you saying that about Keuchel was your subtle way of screaming "OMG!!! Keuchel is a boss!! Get this dude on your roto rosters!!!!!"

              I should have seen it, and I should have listened!

                Not today, two more SB. I'm not sure he gets to 20 HR, but 15 is reasonable with 40+ SB

                  Springer is running well. But like Springsteen, he was born to run.

I've never been a huge Moran fan (and that's coming from a UNC alum), but Marisnick is very interesting. Good on you guys for making that deal happen as Cosart was fools gold, and it looks like the Marlins were in the market for some pyrite.
                      Kudos to the Astros.

                          So much for him skipping a level. Looks like the same path that Springer took. Does this mean we don't see Correa until late April/early May 2016?

                            If he dominates AAA ball, they really won't be able to keep him down. But I suspect that it's going to be after the Super 2 date, sometime in June. And I really don't blame a club like Houston for doing that...Correa is going to make a LOT of money, especially since he's only 20 now.

                            • Marisnick just regressing, or just not that good?

                              He has been pretty brutal the past 10 games or so. He seems to have the tools and talent, but can that translate to success?

                              • he's ok

                                not nearly what his April looked like, but not a pure flash in the pan

                                not sure you can buy low on a guy like this though
