In my 12 team AL Only, in rebuild mode, I just dealt Chapman $35 in exchange for Devenski $6 + 1st Rd farm pick.
I wonder what becomes of Devenski's role. I love the multi-inning super-reliever concept. I heard this predicted within the last few years, that there might become a new type of super-reliever good for 3-4 IP for use in high leverage, good for a lot of W's, you'd think. He's on pace for 11 W's.
Houston has 2 other relievers I quite like, Michael Feliz and James Hoyt. I had an eye on Hoyt coming into this year, given his interesting 2016 debut numbers (4.50 era, 1.14 whip, 22 IP/28K). His first 3 appearances have me intrigued (4.2 IP, 10 K/1 BB, 2 hits, 0 runs, and a win).Larry David was once being heckled, long before any success. Heckler says "I'm taking my dog over to fuck your mother, weekly." Larry responds "I hate to tell you this, but your dog isn't liking it."

Let's talk Carlos Correa.
I read he had a tender ankle during the 2016 season and didn't even attempt a stolen base for around six weeks. Heading into 2017, I was thinking 20+ homers, 20+ steals in a great lineup. Correa is still incredible young, playing this season as a 22 year old and speed doesn't usually leave a player at such a young age, is he being held up by management or just not running. We are 6 weeks in and Correa is without an attempt!!

McHugh will be back next month, though Musgrove isn't impressing people either. The Astros have Francis Martes at AAA but he's not doing all that well. They have another guy that I had never heard of named Brady Rodgers who was the PCL Pitcher of the Year last year and had a 1.10 ERA in three games before going on the DL a couple weeks ago. Maybe he gets a shot? Or maybe they sign Fister?In the best of times, our days are numbered, anyway. And it would be a crime against Nature for any generation to take the world crisis so solemnly that it put off enjoying those things for which we were presumably designed in the first place, and which the gravest statesmen and the hoarsest politicians hope to make available to all men in the end: I mean the opportunity to do good work, to fall in love, to enjoy friends, to sit under trees, to read, to hit a ball and bounce the baby.
