Who am I blabbing about today? I’m talking about Francis Martes, the Houston Astros right-armed hurler that is considered one of the best young pitching talents in today’s game. Although I thought it’d be a lot later on in the season, things are so dire on the pitching rotation front, we need a steady, talented and fresh arm to get us through the bottom-end of the rotation until we get our main guys back.
As you probably know by now, Dallas Keuchel is going back to the DL with continued issues with his neck, Charlie Morton is still deciding when to throw once again and Joe Musgrove will hopefully be ready by Monday.
