Great job, Parker and Marty! Enjoyed the chat element! As for our 1B dilemma, my fear as the season progresses, is that the 'Stros will just throw up their hands and send anyone they can out to 1B (bring up one or 2 candidates from Sugar Land, 'cause what is there to lose?).
If we happen to be more or less contending come trade deadline, maybe we make a move. But, the more the season devolves into a lost cause (should that happen), the less invested the team will be (or should be) in solving that positional problem.

I won't say I was prescient at all, but even in 2018, I was skeptical about the 'Stros' mystifying interest (even then!) in Abreu: https://therunnersports.com/astros-showing-interest-in-white-sox-first-baseman-jose-abreu/
Boy, did I take heat from the White Sox faithful (both of them)! Great job again, guys!
“Automatic out” is overused, but…
Let's see how far back you go.....He was a SS, but I'd put Roger Metzger at 1B over Abreu!🤣
