Neil Leininger Posted March 19 Posted March 19 13 hours ago, Jeff Howe said: MLB instituted a Prospect Promotion Incentive for the 2024 draft. It rewards teams for advancing their top prospects instead of keeping them in the minors to prolong their arbitration clock. You get a pick if your prospect wins ROY or finishes in the top three for either the MVP or Cy Young before they're eligible for arbitration. Eligibility is based on the preseason rankings. Eligible prospects have to appear on at least two of the three Top 100 Prospect rankings released by MLB Pipeline, Baseball America and ESPN. Cam Smith is on 2 of these lists making him eligible.

Bobby Burton Posted March 19 Posted March 19 21 hours ago, Bewarre said: I have a feeling our lack of depth in the minors and the loss of Breggy and Tucker will be too much to overcome. I like some of the additions but we're going to need previously injury prone players to not get injured this year to have a chance at another playoff run. Hope I'm wrong. Go Stros!!! Fair assessment IMO. On the downslope of a historic run. But… When’s the last time Jose Altuve played on a losing baseball team? Or Jeremy Pena, or Yordan Alvarez? There’s some winners DNA in this team. 4 Quote
cmk4pres Posted March 19 Posted March 19 CJ has no clue when it comes to Stros. Strangers need to wort about being a one hit wonder. Quote
ElCafetero Posted March 19 Posted March 19 me personally I don’t see why we stuck 5’ 7 altuve at LF, he’ll need to jump 20 feet to catch a ball 😂😭 1 Quote

Only thing that puts fear in me about the Astros is Isaac Paredes and his .400 OBP getting on for Yordan to bring him home. Yordan is too good. Quote
Bewarre Posted March 19 Posted March 19 What do you think about the new city connect unis? I think they are pretty slick. 1 Quote

Born Burnt Orange Posted March 19 Posted March 19 On 3/18/2025 at 12:19 PM, Neil Leininger said: Cam Smith better be the opening day RF. He's a legit ROY candidate and if so, gives the Astros an extra pick next draft. Every year a player gets hype over a hot spring training but can’t translate it to the regular season. I am cautiously optimistic. Quote
