*Dallas Keuchel is ready to get to Houston.

*Sean Pendergast asks about the rotation.
*The Astros are "not budging" on their offer for Jose Quintana.
*Baseball America has a nice write-up of Frankie Tuesday.
*Soon after playing in his first Spring Training game of the season, Preston Tucker was optioned to minor-league camp. Hinch, on Tucker:

*Jeff Bagwell toured the Baseball Hall of Fame.
*Jacob Dorris - whom the Astros signed as an undrafted free agent in 2015 - will pitch in Corpus this season.
*Robot Umps now! Home plate umpire John Libka rung up Kyle Tucker yesterday on Strike Two.
*Speaking of Kyle Tucker, he worked on ramping up his power this offseason.
*Washington Post: The Ramgers could go from first to worst in 2017
*Jayson Stark: Why (Your Team) Won't Win the World Series
*Were you worried that the Yankees wouldn't have a player that ESPN couldn't fawn over? Worry no more...
We didn't come out here to play tiddlywinks, son.
