Not expecting too much to happen this week.

Only things of note today:

-Singleton clears waivers
-Nolan Fontana was claimed by the Angels

That puts our 40 man roster at 37. Reddick becoming official would make 38.

JL said today no deal for front line starter close and he is happy if we start the season with what we currently have.

Possible Astros 2017 lineup:
CF Springer
3B Bregman
2B Altuve
SS Correa
RF Reddick
DH Gattis
C McCann
1B Gurriel
LF Aoki

Now that Reddick and McCann have been added, I'm kind of ok with Nori being the starter in left. That's a career .286 BA/.353 OBP guy in the 9 hole. That's something to like ahead of Spregturea.

Would Spregtuvrea better represent our all world 2B in this word mashup or would that be too much?

I really like our lineup. We just need an ace and I'll print the shirts.

Pretty big AL West trade tonight that thankfully sends an Astros killer to the national league

Mariners trade Taijuan Walker and Ketel Marte for Jean Segura and 2 other players I hadn't heard of
