Interesting (Insider-only) take from Jim Bowden, on the Keppinger trade:
"Keppinger is nothing more than a utility player and not a difference-maker. He was never going to be part of a contending team in Houston, so any return for him is a bonus. If Stoffel's command of the fastball arrives, he'll be a decent bullpen piece."
We didn't come out here to play tiddlywinks, son.
