really showed up well. Astros are a tough out. They played a good season and playoffs.
Big upside to Lewis.

Disappointing to lose both home games.

Good season. Very tough task to knock off a dynasty (cheating dynasty).
I was thinking about upgrades for next year:
Upgrade both center field and right field with better hitting?
Upgrade 1st base by moving Polanco there?
Get a DH and a left hand starter?
Fairly simple. But my baseball knowledge is very average is why I ask. And only watching the playoffs is the only time I see the obvious weaknesses on the team at the above positions. Team pitching looked phenomenal to me and the one guy that didn't perform in clutch sounds like he's moving on.

First decisions needed to be made are they going to pick up Kepler's ($10M) and Polanco's ($10.5M) options. I think they keep both. It would be nice if Buxton came in next season ready to play the outfield maybe 100 games or so. |

Big decision on keeping FA pitcher Sonny Gray. #2 on the staff they he had a good year and they need to try to get him back.
I think they keep both Polanco and Kepler.
Might be time to move Buxton if you can get a decent offer. Hard to believe he will stay healthy enough to do what you need.

There was one thought I read that it would take a 3 year/$75M deal. His last contract was 3 years/$30,500,000 so I don't know amount is what fair but I'm thinking 2 years with an option year. Buxton is our problem I don't think his value is very high right now and if he is rehabbing his knee all off season will he get well enough to play the field? |
