Foscue write up too

Looks like a RHP for Astros. Crickets for Huff quite expectantly

 

[Duane1952]

Let’s just Huff tot on the bench.

 

[Uncle Siggy]

so who would you bring in to replace him?

I wonder if Marge Shotts St Bernard is still alive

He learned this in Derailing Prospects 101.

JD, Young and Woodward are all to blame.

Huff should have played yesterday but surely can get in today as a PH

Better than nothing but he needs more time than one AB. 1B is all I see. Woody has just created a mess.

Not sure I'm as "doom and gloom" as the rest of the board, but as Saddles mentioned, Woody is just one ingredient of personnel decisions.

Overall yes. I was replying in regards to how we are in this Huff mess. (not playing tonlght)

It stunts his growth and slows down the rebuild IMO. He needs to play but sure as written working with Bobby Wilson is helpful

Lowe??

well we put Lowe on the bench last night and Ibanez got the start

 

[DT LUNA]

I want to see Huff playing some 1B. If he can't, we have a overload on catchers. That means someone is apt to find another home. If Huff works out fine at 1B, will we carry three catchers ?

how has Woody created this. Daniels and Young signed Seager, Semien and Calhoun and traded for Garver and expected the rest to come internally. we went with what we had. i blame Daniels with Young getting a little bit of the blame. we should clear the team of as much of the waste as we can next off-season and see 4-6 of prospects added to the 13 starting positional players.

Not much chance tonight unless he sets lowe and I doubt he will.

Garver isn't going to play much catcher the rest of the season so he's the DH most of the time so that leaves Heim and Huff to handle the catching duties the rest of the season.

facing a RHP so not likely they sit Lowe and the next 2 scheduled Astros starters are Verlander and Urquidy both right handers
