[Official] Astros Offseason

You’re right. It’s in the sailing capital of America.

Also referred to as sailing capital of the world.

That’s where you will find the Naval Academy.

 

Shhh. He’ll get there

 

Sydney, Australia? You're getting farther and farther away from you British roots.

 

Keep at it big boy.

kind of embarrassing that you don’t know where the US Naval Academy is.

That’s more sad than funny

 

Did your Polynesian ancestors even use sails? (I know my Viking brethren did) I thought they just paddled their badasses across and around the Pacific.

Now the Chinese...they knew some sailboats.

 

No because I’m from where the US Naval Academy is.

 

Good lord, you're obviously smarter than you've shown if you went to school in Annappolis.

[/end joke conversation]

 

No I’m just smarter than you’ve shown

 

Good to know you're smarter than I've shown you to be

 

That too

 

Arrighetti will probably be in any trade for a SP2.

 

I'm OK with that depending on the #2.

It should because #2 who would be a #1 on many teams.

If Arrighetti is a 7/10 with 4 years of service and potential to become a 9/10

Then any pitcher below an 8.5 is not enough of a potential upgrade and any below a 9 would require extensive thought.

 

Arrighetti is not a 7/10. He sucked last year and has a bad career era and whip. Lots of potential, sure…

 

Arrighetti is projecting a 4.45 ERA next season ... which will not get him into any MVP or CY convos ... therefore Arrighetti sucks.

 

October/November: complacency vindicated.

 

We still think arrigheti can be good?

 

Didn’t look it up, but Cease whisperer?

 

Coached Giolito, Fried, and Flaherty in HS in a span of 5 years. Worked for 4 other orgs. He was recently fired by the White Sox. Lucas Giolito, who is a current free agent, is a huge fan of his. I could see Giolito being a fit for Houston.
