I'm not soured on Kyle Tucker yet, but I wouldn't mind if the Astros move him for a quality, controlled SP.  His numbers have generally been good after his awful April but he's still striking out way too much.  I worry the K may be a bigger problem for him to overcome than some have anticipated.

It is just silly to chase FB/HR% in partial season samples.  Sometimes it can be an indicator of something more meaningful going on.  He had a substantially lower HR/FB% last season when he was a far less effective pitcher - what is there to make of that?  There is a lot of variance in HR/FB rates for pitchers because they don't have much control over what happens when they allow a hitter to put the ball in the air.  There is a reason why it takes 400 FB for a pitcher's HR/FB% to begin to stabilize, and Boyd isn't anywhere near that mark this season.

Plus, aren't most pitchers' HR/FB rates up this year? (Isn't anything having to do with HR up this year?)

Boyd is at around league average (15.0%) in HR/FB% this season.  League average HR/FB% in 2018 was 12.7%.

Agreed. Tucker may become a good MLB player, but I'm less opposed to moving him in than I was last year.

seems like a Top30 for the Caribbean alone would not be enough...

Well that lineup isn't complete shit like I expected.  Sucks Yordan isn't out there, but I am good with the lineup as long as White isn't fucking it up.

Yeah, 2015 would have been a great time to move him:
 

Of course it would have looking through 2019 lens.

But looking through 2015 lens, we had Chris Carter at 1B and Reed was very much in the discussion for the long-term answer there, IIRC.

Yep
Yuli being able to go and facing a righty (so Brantley and Reddick can start in the OF and keep Jake on the bench for a late inning sub) makes it much more palatable.

These Rockies jerseys seem shitty.
