[Rome] Source: the Astros are optioning right-hander J.P. France to Triple-A Sugar Land ahead of their trip to Mexico City. That will clear a roster spot for Framber Valdez, but does prompt some questions about how their rotation lines up going forward.

  1. Just in time for his bobble head giveaway. Hope he stays down there as long as it takes for him to straighten shit out.

  2. France has the worst underlying metrics of all of our regular ish starters. Hopefully he rights the ship and isn’t in AAA too long, maybe break down his mechanics and work on whatever issue he’s been having all season.

    We’d probably take France over Bielak on the roster if Bielak had any options left.

  3. Feel bad for France hopefully he can work on his stuff and come back up as a long reliever maybe. With Urquidy and Luis Garcia coming back I don’t see France as a starter
