Except Framber has pitched in and won big games. He doesn't have emotional breakdowns when teammates get hurt.
True, but he's still been mentally tougher and won big games. The 1st big game CJ is the winning QB in will be the 1st. They're both mental weaklings though.
Y’all see Frambers IG post after signing with the Tigers? It’s basically an Astros diss. Guy is a straight clown. Glad he’s gone.
I expected a couple of more years for him but it is good to see him settled somewhere. I wish him well but do not necessarily expect it.
But the player does have quite a bit of input. I would say it is closer to the player choosing but the HOF having veto power. I may be wrong on which has more say, but both are involved.
Both Skenes and Skubal will be on their way to an LA or NY team soon. What a lovely system of haves we've created through exclusive media deals with no real cap. Meanwhile a list of quality players, most homegrown, the Astros have let go due to limited revenue is a championship roster in itself. Gerrit Cole Charlie Morton Yusei Kikuchi Kyle Tucker Alex Bregman George Springer Carlos Correa Justin Verlander Framber Valdez Now to be clear, I would never be in favor of handing out contracts to all of these players and some were never going to be worth big extensions like Springer and Correa. But the fact that only a few teams have the option is what is hard to explain to the kids.
I agree with you, just wanna point out that Springer has been well worth the contract he go from Toronto after the huge season he had last year.
