[QUOTE="This Ain't Chopped Liver, post: 3224099, member: 74137"] Abreu‘s good bat needs to be nearly as effective as it has been throughout his career to make up for his lesser fielding; if it is, then it more than does, we will hope. I think I like it, but just don’t like the third year which appears to be guaranteed. Astros maybe felt a bit desperate for a bat at first, assuming Yuli couldn’t bounce back, though he was good in the playoffs. Rumor is that the Astros want Yuli to stay on as a utility infielder; trying to talk him into it. He was a 3rd baseman and has played some second and even a bit of short. Astros also interested in Andrew Benintendi for left field, which suggests they might not be interested in Brantley. I too was hoping Brantley would be on this team being he is a good veteran leader and is still a good on-base bat. I like Benintendi; a good enough outfielder and he can hit, and I think Yordan Alvarez should spend most or at least half of his time at DH; his knees are always going to be a concern since both have already been operated on. Reports are the Astros are also speaking with catcher Wilson Contreras; another good bat, but lesser behind the plate. All this makes me think they are not planning on signing Verlander. [/QUOTE]
