No Tucker, no Bregman, no Pressley Altuve to LF (??) Paredes (3B) and Walker (1B) are the big additions… Walker, if healthy, almost can’t be worse than the 1B situation last year Paredes played 140+ games in 2023 (most games played in his care...

Lots of holes to fill after QB, but top needs should be (in no particular order)...

  • Edge
  • Secondary
  • WR

So who are your picks at 12, 33, 65, and 73?

Bonus question: Is there an FA at any of these needs you'd prefer over using a Day 1 or Day 2 pick?

Seems like the polls are capped at 6 options max, so throw a name in the comments if you think it's someone not listed.

(Also didn't list any pitchers, cuz damn any of them could reasonably dominate and it wouldn't be a shocker.)

I feel like Yuli's gonna break out, but maybe that's wishful thinking...

Hoping you guys can get me up to speed on what the Astros have been up to this off season.

Feels like other than the Correa drama, nothing has really changed roster-wise except losing Grienke (he's gone, right?).

What else is happening?

Any interesting Spring Training invitees?

Who are some surprise / dark horse candidates to maybe make the opening day roster?

What does the opening day starting lineup look like?

  • 1B Yuli
  • 2B Altuve
  • SS Correa (what if he's gone...is it Pena?)
  • 3B Breggermans
  • OF Tucker, Brantley...then who? Is it Chas and Meyers?
  • DH Yordan
  • Aledmys still the super-sub?

(If Correa somehow stays and we run it back with this...hell, I ain't compaining. This looks like a WS repeat offensive team to me.)

SP

  • Framber
  • Urquidy
  • Garcia
  • Verlander
  • McCullers (when does it look like he might be back?)
  • Odorizzi (is he staying?)
  • Whitley (any chance he makes the opening day roster?)

I'm not sure if this looks like a WS rotation unless McCullers comes back dominant and Verlander flashes something.

RP

  • Pressly
  • ...and a similar cast as last year? (Javier, Stanek, Maton, Josh James, Paredes?)

Did we sign any free agents at all during the off season?

Thanks y'all

Keep Tyrod? Or Draft?

How bout a vet? Somebody like Foles? (I guess it wouldn't suck to have a former SB MVP sharing knowledge with Mills.)
