maxjusttyped Posted October 23, 2022 Share Posted October 23, 2022 Stanek & Hunter Brown would be high leverage guys for basically every other team in baseball. For the Astros, they're being used in mop up roles. like it or not, they are the class of the AL. by a mile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caulfield12 Posted October 23, 2022 Share Posted October 23, 2022 Yankees just don't have enough of an offense outside their Big 3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Praying for that outcome. For all their recent success the Astros have not won a single non-tainted World Series in their history (something I love to remind their fans about) and it has been fun watching them get denied repeatedly. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maxjusttyped Posted October 24, 2022 Share Posted October 24, 2022 I'd be thrilled hiring Espada, but it's not really him the Sox need. It's the scouts, player dev staff, coaches, analysts, etc who make it possible for the Astros to be such a fine tuned machine they can lose Carlos Correa and not miss a beat. Pena is a stud but if he's drafted to another organization, I don't think he becomes *this*. at least not so quickly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Balta1701 Posted October 24, 2022 Share Posted October 24, 2022 I would genuinely like Dusty Baker to win a world series. And Ted Cruz was sitting behind home plate the whole night. Go Phillies. Easily. Yuck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Espada is a sign that the White Sox understand this, and they're going to work on building up the system around him. And even if they don't do it perfectly, doing it well enough can put them in the same situation as the Phillies are right now. Not always on top, but relevant and occasionally making deep playoff runs. That's where they should be! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
