We are still more a collection of RH hitting talent/individuals than a cohesive team resembling what we had in 2005.

Wonder if they will consider trading Moncada...which would be one of the few ways to even up the payroll down the line for Burger.

No easy solutions or answers that don't involve spending a lot whereas we usually spend 50 cents on the dollar with just a few notable exceptions like Grandal and Robert.

Then holding on to Abreu one year too long becomes yet another risk factor.

You want to fix a team that is too right-handed by trading away a switch hitter to clear room for a right handed hitter?

They can't score because the bottom of the lineup is like 0-20. Sure it hurts that the middle isn't doing as much as they should, but you can't sustain or build long rallies when you have 1/3 of the lineup doing absolutely nothing. This is why they need to go after a 2B and RF.

on top of seemingly having zero power

Madrigal's noodle arm and little leaguer's range and game awareness isn't missed at all.  The contact was great but that's all.  Cesar being here IMO really showed some people who forgot what you should expect in arm strength and range at 2B.  But we definitely need some good ABs.  Unfortunately Cesar has been Leury-like in his ABs except without Leury's luck.

They are saying the ball is real fast in the Houston infield...maybe that's why some thought Anderson was slow up the line. Not that he was slow...the ball was just getting to the infielders a lot quicker than we are used to.
