@astros So they swapped one AAAA player for another 👍

@cancelmeno @SleeperAstros @Chandler_Rome If you disagree that Abreu hasn’t been great since his disastrous start I don’t know what to tell you. Name me another set up guy with an ERA of 1.43 or better since early June. I’ll wait.

[Mike Allen @mallen89]

@michaelschwab13 And he’s hitting .170 since joining the Giants and .157 on the season as a whole. Even a blind squirrel finds a nut every now and then.

@HtownWheelhouse @astros @MLB @SLSpaceCowboys Biggio in 2024: .197 between 3 different organizations
Biggio in 2025: .174 with the Royals

So at least in his case, yes every other OF you mentioned is a better choice.

@TheRealDudja So, you think you’re sponge-worthy?

[Mike Allen @mallen89]

@TheRealDudja I was in the pool!!!

[Mike Allen @mallen89]

@OleTimeHardball If Scott Rolen and Harold Baines are in, then yes.

[Mike Allen @mallen89]

@SleeperAstros We are facing a rookie having a very good season who has gone 11 IP with 1 ER in his last two starts against us. You do the math…

[Mike Allen @mallen89]

@JeremyBranham So basically it’s Brown, Lambert, Wesneski then pray for rain…

[Mike Allen @mallen89]

@SleeperAstros D by a wide margin

[Mike Allen @mallen89]

@SpaceCityHN someone tell TK there is no Mont Belvieu HS. It’s Barbers Hill HS. 🤦🏻‍♂️

[Mike Allen @mallen89]

@SpaceCityHN @astros Peña absolutely benefits from having Yordan hitting behind him. Yordan all the way.

[Mike Allen @mallen89]

@JeremyBranham Hasn’t been healthy or good at the plate since 2023. Why should we expect that to change? Easy pass.

[Mike Allen @mallen89]

@michaelschwab13 2024, a .197 BA between three different organizations. Last year a .174 BA for KC. Doesn’t matter what he’s doing for SL in the hitter friendly PCL, he’s proven he can’t hit MLB pitching any more.

[Mike Allen @mallen89]

@Goose01991 @astros Yep, and he has nowhere near the talent of Prince or Cecil

[Mike Allen @mallen89]

@michaelschwab13 Why? On 4/17 he gave up 3 runs and his ERA sat at 14.73. Since then he has an ERA of 2.78. I’d say he’s turned it around.

[Mike Allen @mallen89]

@HMontesjr2012 @jmtomsick @michaelschwab13 @BNightengale And my point is, Moniak will not do anything offensively that will improve this team. The away numbers don’t lie.

[Mike Allen @mallen89]

@HMontesjr2012 @jmtomsick @michaelschwab13 @BNightengale If you’re going to mention Cam, you have to factor in defense. Moniak has always been a below average OF. Cam is a top 3 RF in MLB. That more than makes up for a .017 difference in OPS. Better than Matthews/Dezenzo/Meyers/Cole/Loperfido? Yes, but not enough to move the needle.
