    I noticed that as well. I am assuming it’s because prior to acquiring Cam Smith, we didn’t have any top 100 prospects outside of Melton.

    Some of these are good examples of why crane won’t do long contracts.

    They went for it because their owner was dying right?
    Gotta respect that

    Former Astros related, but I met Pat Listach today. Was working my second job (whee) and recognized the name on the receipt. Asked if it was him, he said yes. Talked for a couple of minutes, said he was probably going to coach in the White Sox org. for a year or two then calling it a career. Really nice guy based on our limited interaction.

    Hector isn’t always right on these things… but he does have a pretty good pulse on the Latin American market

    And that Carlos Baerga was connecting Santander with Astros a few times. But is he well connected? He went from Astros(after Tucker trade) to saying Yankees, then back to a few other teams which included the Astros once again. Interesting that Santander was looking for 5 years but is he only getting 4 year offers?

    I don’t see the Astros wanting to live with a RF with a below average arm. Pedro Leon is said to have a cannon, so the Astros might give Leon some run in RF and see if his bat comes around.

    I really dont care what others think, the Stros have had a top 5 ROY candidate for the last 5 years or more. I'll trust the Stros developmental staff over what a guy like Law thinks.

    Personally I like the Stros top 5-6 prospects as much as anybody's.

    I'm thinking they will trade for a young cheap OF in addition to Santander if the rumors Nook put out there come to fruition. Didn't Santander play RF last year?
