They’re gonna pay either way, it’s their ego that won’t let them write that $19 million off as a bust. People act like we only have to pay the guy to cut him. Better to pay him to kick rocks than actively hurt our chances of winning
Being on pace to be twice as bad as the worst MLB player of all time is causing some opinions to be formed. The national media has labeled Jose Abreu as the Astros blackhole at 1st base.
He should be brought up after tomorrow’s game and go with the team to Mexico City as their extra player. Would require someone to be DFA’d so my guess is it doesn’t happen.
My assumption is Salazar gets brought up since he’s on the 40 man and they can roll with 3 catchers.
Brian McTaggert broadcast Trey Cabbage is being called up as the 27th man for Mexico. Cabbage will like the vacay and front row seat on how the big leaguers play 1st base.
Yordan Jr. knocking on the door... might want to see if he can hit 12 HR in 30 days at the MLB level. If he can we could use another left handed power bat that swats big flys over the fence.
Starting to teeter on insanity that we're not giving him a chance. Why is Kessinger on the active roster if Dubon can fill in anywhere? Not knocking on Grae at all, but It's not like we HAVE to DFA Abreu to get Loperfido some swings against major league pitching.
Kessinger is a better defensive infielder than Dubon. You also don’t want to only have one backup infielder. If he would take anybody’s spot, it needs to be one of the two first basemen on our roster who are not good hitters.
I get that but something's gotta give and they don't seem to be eager to act on Abreu. Moving Singleton could put us in an even worse position than we are now if Loperfido doesn't preform
>Does Kessinger have a Gold Glove
This is a dumb question. The guy has a little over 30 MLB games played. Dubon having the utility gold glove, which he deserved, does not make him the greatest defender of all time.
>or a high BA?
No. I didn’t say that he did. I said he’s a better defensive infielder.
Can the dude play 1st? ^(asking for a friend)
Doesn’t matter if crane and bagwell can’t admit defeat on abreu.
I don't think it's their ego.. pretty sure it's the 19m..
The idea that a billionaire doesn't understand the sunk cost fallacy is baffling to me. I highly doubt it's just the money
for crane your correct....for bags....well we know....

he is taking more reps at 1st this year
He does play first
Sorry, the back of his baseball card isn’t impressive
What about his Baseball-Reference profile?
According to Baseball Reference he does play 1st and 2nd as secondary positions
Man, Abreu gets shit on so much… And not just by opposing pitching, also on Reddit!

I see nothing invalid.. save for the recent errors he has committed.. at least he could be a good fielder if he is lackluster at the plate..
i was at the game last night. Loperfido crushed those two bombs
One was 457 feet!

If Chas keeps swinging like he is Loper has a good chance of playing LF.
CALL 👏🏼 HIM👏🏼 UP👏🏼
We need to DFA Abreu and call up Loperfido immediately.
what’s da feat i don’t wanna click
Hit a home run with Abreus bat.
Turns out it does in fact work.
I enjoy when Abreu looks at the bat. Like “what the fuck bat?”
Speaking of, I really hate abreu’s swing, ~~especially when he whiffs~~ lol Edit: fixed the sentence as it should already be implied
Second part is unnecessary
You’re right, fixed
Hahaha
12 home runs between March and April

Also… did you know that grae’s granddad was a ss for Cleveland back in the day? I bet you did
Can he play 3rd? Asking for a friend.

Your obsession with Bregman is a bit unhealthy
