Astros ace Dallas Keuchel placed back on disabled list
KANSAS CITY, Mo. --- The Astros' already depleted rotation will now be without its ace for an undetermined period of time.

Dallas Keuchel was placed on the 10-day disabled list Thursday with neck discomfort, a recurrence of the injury that cost him a start last month. Baseball's ERA leader was sent back to Houston for further evaluation. Astros general manager Jeff Luhnow said the team doesn't have a timetable for his return.

Jeez, I remember people saying Evan Longoria was gonna be a star and win MVP awards.
He ended up being a glorified Nick Markakis.

Who's gonna take a rental on JD the gawd for the rest of the season? Dude will have a Cespedes-like impact if he gets moved.

His money in Detroit went to bums like Jordan Zimmermann instead of him. :to:

I had no idea Dontrelle Willis had his own TV show :krs:

I kept the channel on FS1 after the Mexico/Honduras game, and saw him & Nick Swisher have a show together. I'm probably super late, but this made my night.

He was dope for awhile
On second thought, he was better than Markakis.

That was probably too harsh by me.
He's had a good career. Maybe a more fair comparison is David Wright. Both 3B who had MVP-ish seasons early on...but never quite developed into that top tier level in the long term.

Wright was damn good till the injuries derailed his career. Cain hitting him in the head effected him too
