I think there’s enough there for the Astros to continue working with him, for sure. Is he one of those “yeah but he strikes out 25% of the time” players? Probably. Maybe? Who knows yet. I’ll plan on being there on his debut because by then, we’ll likely NEED him to work out, versus hoping he does.
To your point, if we were willing to keep him over Gilbert & Clifford, seems the Astros brass wants to see where this road takes us. Good writeup!

Apparently there’s some injury history there that warrants a “if he stays healthy” caveat.
