2021/23/25? 

Explanations for stunning even and now odd year successes... yet another team that seems to get the most out of the least. 

(Note: Sox should be very grateful Twins let Lemonte Wade Jr. and Luis Arraez both get away.)

Maybe Tampa should make a move. Houston got Alvarez and Altuve back and said, "Hi, remember us?" They're leading 16-2. HR Abreu (10), Yordan 3-5. Chas (bleepin') McCormick has a .900 OPS. Weird fact: McCormick and Jake Meyers their 2 centerfielders, each hit right, throw left. Can never remember a team with two of those types.  Anyway, Houston still a formidable team for anyone trying to win the AL.

They had Straw before that...all fairly similar CFers.

.900 OPS. Straw has never dreamed of that.  Mirage or break out? McCormick has over 200 ab. I wish we could teach people to hit like that.

I mean complementary/supplemental players that are not the core of the team.

As you pointed out...Straw's offensive limitations ultimately pushed him off the roster to the Guardians.

Neat thread, guy worth cheering for.

Probably a better story if he wasn't 3/29 but definitely a ton of resilience to hang in there...and not quit.

He had that really premature extension so hopefully he kept/invested some of that money.
