I just don't think he's that great, at this point anyways. I would put him in the same category as Tepesch. Average ML pitchers, but where does Martinez fit? Next year will be Yu, Perez, Harry, and Holland. I guess he could battle for the 5 spot in ST next year, but I could see him being a part of a trade before I see him winning a spot in the rotation next year. Just my opinion though. Nothing but a prediction.

To me, it would be great to have Tepesch, Martinez, Ross, etc competing in ST for a spot next season. After all, we'll need 8-10 different starters before the season is over, if history proves itself right.

I agree. Probably add Lewis to that mix as well.

That's true. You can never have too many pitchers, and who knows how much he'll progress in a year, but right now I like Ross, Colby, and Tepesch more than I like him. Maybe I need to see more of him, but I haven't been that impressed. He needs to work on his control some while in the minors. He doesn't have overwhelming stuff so he'll need to command the zone.

The Astros are up by 1. Let's see if they can close this one out.

For sure....hope that's true......Didn't mean to forget or slight Colby.

Actually, if health comes through, we'll have Yu, Holland, Perez, Lewis and Harry for the starting 5 for next year (not in that order).

 

[Justinkm83]

Has anybody heard when Choo will be back?

Keep your fingers crossed.... I'm hoping they don't get swept

He'd sure be a nice option to have in AAA polishing his game if the injury big hits us again next year.

No, but hopefully by Monday I'd think or they would've put him on the DL.

 

[donaldson79]

I read this morning he said he's feeling much better, but doesn't expect to play until the next series. He seems like a gamer and I expect him to go at his earliest.

Believe this was in my SportsDay which I get on the net (sent to me) every morning.

 

[romeo212000]

How about somebody ask wash why he only tried letting Beltre hit third one game?

Of course they can't.

I doubt he really knows why.

....I think we're all on the same page here.

I'm not trying to move the needle forward to next season just yet. But regardless of year, to have Tep-Martinez types pitching consistently in AA or above is a really good position for us to be in.

 

[Justinkm83]

I was surprised he put him there last night. Usually, Wash is stubborn with his line-up. I actually like Beltre in the clean up spot more than the 3 hole. We just need Prince to start hitting the damn ball consistently.


Thanks for the Choo info guys.

 

[donaldson79]

.....You have been on a roll here recently sir.

It's good to see Choice getting some regular AB regardless of outcome. Obviously want him to do well. But he's gotta get AB for him to get better and the team to get a real read on where he is in his professional life.

 

[romeo212000]

Well that's about par for the course.

 

[romeo212000]

Did teams just recently start putting the shift on against Prince or something?

 

[donaldson79]

I'm sorry.....but a guy who refuses to do anything other than hit where guys are standing makes me nuts.

Maybe that's part of the fucking reason he should be hitting 4th, behind Beltre. Don't know if this helps, but it sure can't hurt.
