Is Wallace going to be here to STAY?
On July 29, 2010, the Astros traded for Brett Wallace. They traded Anthony Gose, whom they received in the Roy Oswalt trade. Gose was good, but Brett Wallace was supposed to be almost big league...

Very strong probability Joba is outright released.

Wallace is making adjustments quite well after a short lull. This is a positive sign. And I think that he's earning his stripes as a major league quality playerAs much as a lot of fan's dislike the...

Could we see a Wallace Carter platoon at DH? And can I puke when I use the word "platoon" with the DH position?

I have to admit he's made the most of this opportunity.

Prior to August 6th, Wallace's number since his June recall from AAA: .263/.323/.553/.875, 33 games, 124 PAs, 30 hits, 7 2bs, 1 3b, 8 HRs, 34 K, 8 BB, 22 RBI, 2 GIDP By contrast, Chris Carter over the...

That's almost a month and a half, not 10 days. I've seen enough of Carter to believe he is overmatched by major league fastballs and hasn't a clue what to do with anything off speed.
View ArticleRe: Is Wallace going to be here to STAY?
Well, I would say the same thing about a month and a half. You have to look at the full body of work to make a comparison, just due to sample size. The full season rate stats for Wallace and Carter...

It's more than a month. And I don't think Carter is overmatched by most fastballs but opponents would have to be idiots to throw him a hittable one. Feed him fastballs out of the zone and offspeed...

I'm definitely willing to give Carter all of next year to figure it out. He hasn't had a ton of time in the big leagues and I still think he has a chance to be the .850 OPS hitter he was with Oakland....

I'd keep throwing him out there as long as singleton is down. Come September that might change but then again it gives him three weeks to turn it around.
View ArticleRe: Is Wallace going to be here to STAY?
Agreed, Barz! The strikeouts are difficult to get past, but 40 HR annual potential is something we haven't had around here much. However, I don't want it if it's going to be Dave Kingman every year -...

Back to Wallace....I agree he seems to be doing much better lately. However...he only seems to be doing better in context to what this crappy team has become. He still isnt doing nearly enough to be...
View ArticleRe: Is Wallace going to be here to STAY?
It depends in how you look at him. If you remove those dismal first 25 plate appearances then he looks like a decent corner player. If you include his whole body of work then it is underwhelming. If...

Singleton has been having a rough year, including the 50 game suspension, he looks like he has longer to go before we see him at the MLB level, unless he roars out of the gate at ST. I believe if...
View ArticleRe: Is Wallace going to be here to STAY?
Singleton seems to be coming along tho. He's 12 for his last 33 w 3 doubles, 2 HRs and 8 RBI over that span. Also 7 BBs and 8 runs scored. Small sample, but it shows he could be adjusting to the AAA...

I don't think many people are holding their breath that Wallace is going to be the face of the franchise anymore. But from what I read, he's a very professional player who plays the game the right...

It takes a deep roster to go far in the regular season and playoffs. Injuries often derail teams that don't have quality depth. I like Wallace as a nice corner reserve that can play third, first, and...

Carter is on a record pace for Astros Stikeouts. I don't think he is doing himself or the Astros any favors with that strikeout rate. Closes to him is JC and he is 42 behind. And everyone was...
