Is Crane on Tilt? https://houstonnewmedia.org/is-crane-on-tilt/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=is-crane-on-tilt Wed, 30 Nov 2022 13:33:58 +0000 http://houstonnewmedia.org/?guid=e576a1b40ec8b2bb6c4f8177d340a5b9

I am pleased with the Abreu signing but I feel like Crane might be on tilt with all this talk of FA other signings? The team won the world series and can use improvements in some areas, but do we need to go overboard and add massive short term fixes to a team that had always taken the long term approach?

I feel like too many FA's leads to a Yankees problem where they are throwing cash and in a couple years have a huge payroll issue, full of dis-likable, over-the-hill for hire henchman. This has never been the way and the approach the last 10 years has worked to make this the dominant team it is. Why change, only one way but down. I cant even name the last huge free agent the Astros sign (who is not a pitcher) ever? Jeff Kent?

Obviously, Seth Martinez will be one of the call ups but I struggle to think who will be the 2nd. Maybe Korey Lee or maybe Niko Goodrum. I kind of like Lee because it could actually give Vazquez some more at bats at DH. Who do you think?

Note: it's only 2 calls ups this year because of the new roster rules implemented this year.

Since Yordans return from the DL, he hasn't played in LF at all, has there been a reason given from Dusty?

I find it weird he isnt played the field just because of hand soreness ...I feel like something is going on. He seems to really blossom, all around, when he plays in the outfield.
