Sure, i agree with that SP philosophy. Opening Day last year 132 pitchers were on the IL, which is 80% of the 166 injured list assignments. re Tucker, that goes to larger question if the stros cant sign /extend, Bregs, Tuck, and Grassa then not trading one of them seems like missed opportunity.

Trade to free up payroll for Tucker or Bregman. If the return isnt there then pursue a team friendly deal but it doesnt address the larger SP problem looming - we have too many SPs on the roster. Framber, Brown, Blanco, Spaghetti, Javier, Garcia, Lance will all be available sometime in 25.

thanks Chandler. As always, I appreciate the response and your insight into the Astros!

Hi Chandler - Quick question, I thought Urquidy cleared waivers and is a free agent. From the piece you said he could be a non-tender candidate. Did the Astros bring him back? Thanks.

Can you tell your bro, Space Cowboys to get one here, too.
