Well I just moved Cam Smith into my starting 3B position for Yahoo Fantasy Baseball.

Just in case Joe Espada wanted to check Twitter for lineup and defensive positioning advice, here's what we all came up with ⬇️🤷🏻♂️

Easily wins 95 games and gets back to ALCS, right? pic.twitter.com/9X6vw9JB2m
We'll see how much Dezenzo and Smith play, but this looks nice. Dubie plays 2-3x per week and Rodgers makes an appearance every week or so?
Thanks for the picks
Last year it was done out of desperate dark humor when the Astros lost 50 of their first 52 games IIRC.

Rodgers has opt outs on May 1 and June 1, so if he's getting one start per week, he's gone. He signed here for the chance to compete for the second base job. If they were to give it back to Altuve, Rodgers would be gone.
Considering Altuve has been almost exclusively working in left field, it seems highly unlikely that he's going back to second base, though. Stranger things have happened, but I think he at least starts the year exclusively in left field.

I want to say he can only opt out if he's not on the major league roster. I think I read that somewhere, but I can't find where. Maybe I made it up.
edit: I still can't find it. I must have made it up. I wonder if he clicks and then opts out because he wants more than 1 M.

You are correct. The opt outs only come into play if he's not on the 26-man roster.
Josie isn't playing 2B anymore.
He's the primary LFer.

From Home Depot to home opener: Washington right-hander Brad Lord, who worked at the home-improvement store moving mulch and Christmas trees over the winter, has made the Nationals and will be in the bullpen for Opening Day on Thursday against Philadelphia.

Sources: Brendan Rodgers’ MLB salary would be $2 million.

He has at bat incentives for $50K each at 200, 250, 300, 350, 400, 450 plate appearances.
Plus some other incentives & opt outs on May 1 and June 1 if he’s not on 26-man roster. https://t.co/irYMewRWId pic.twitter.com/5j2iAVhbQw

I'm late but I'm in!
Confession, I was hanging out on the off season thread wondering what y'all went. That's what happens when you retire.
Cue the Travolta off day gif.

We really think Jose will play zero games at 2B?
Not zero, but... He played 5 total innings at 2B in the spring. Jose has said he's an outfielder. Joe said he doesn't want to move him back and forth, and the plan is to primarily play him in LF.
MLB TV (free for me courtesy of T-Mobile) + VPN, which was like $40 for 2 years. The condensed game feature is really great for games you miss live or if you want to speed watch non-Astros games.gigemJTH12 said:

Boys, I got stand in the exact spot the single reason we can thank for Yainer being predicted as a team MVP candidate stood and chewed a toothpick in the Astros dugout.
Here are the best rookie seasons in the last 4 seasons (min 450 PA, 100+ wRC+)
Call your shot - does Cam Smith make this list? If so, where does he fall?

How long do you want to ignore this user?
My wife and I are going to a charity auction this weekend and she told me one of the items was a baseball signed by an Astros player. I said it depends on who the player is. Here is a text exchange we just had

I can't say I would be. That's an acceptable and realistic outcome, but nothing is thrilling about it unless he turns into '22 postseason Pena.Wabs said:

Cam Smith, 2025 World Series MVP
I predict Astros win the West, with Oakland, Seattle, Strangers, and Angels following in that order.
