Well, it finally happened. The Astros promoted No. 1 ranked 2019 impact prospect Yordan Alvarez last Sunday, perhaps to spark the offense or perhaps to increase his trade value while the club searches for controllable pitching.

It was a quiet week for prospect promotions and catcher Will Smith was the only position player who was promoted and stuck.

Lucas Giolito Has Arrived (For Real)

As a fan of Lucas Giolito and his potential for the last couple of years, I have to admit I'm bummed about his last outing.
