Thomas has got big upside. What’s your take on the plan for the outfield at the moment ?
That’s ok. We can cover a couple of spots, see how Diaz or Hensley handle the DH spot in the meantime.
The Nimmo deal is going to screw up the OF market. Again…I’d just sit back and let it happen. If the NY teams want to go crazy giving Conforto...
Yep. I could see a 1 year deal with Brantley, or a 2 year deal with Vazquez, but otherwise, wait them out.
We may have reached the part of the offseason where the Astros go silent. Team go crazy spending money, and free agents are demanding way too much
Doing some digging on Alek Thomas, he might have the highest upside of the 3. High end defensive center fielder with an OPS north of .900 the past...
I would be open minded about a trade for another Chas McCormick level player. A few high upside prospects in lower levels for a controllable...
Jake McCarthy's numbers definitely jump off the page. Seems like it would take a massive offer.
If I was the non-competitive A’s and needed prospects to rebuild, I’d do the exact same thing.
Daulton Varsho. A rather unique catcher/outfielder that emerged last season. I’d probably do that deal, but it’s close.
You lost me at Hunter Brown. I much prefer “worst case” to that. I think we could get Vázquez for 2 years $14 million, which is the kind of...
How can you look at all this crazy spending and not be impressed by the discipline of the Stros? I’m sure Crane has been tempted by it at various...
If he’s still looking for a 10 year $300+ million deal, I’d say a definitive no.
They keep doing it because they’re trapped in this thinking that they’re “just one player away”. This isn’t basketball where a single player...
Which is why there’s zero chance I’m doing it. Wouldn’t even do it straight up. Brown was an ELITE prospect in AAA, then came up to the majors...
I think @Nook mentioned they want Brown AND Garcia. Lol, not happening. Don’t see a match here unless they change their minds. I get that...
Im definitely open to it. We’ve poured so much into the catcher spot in our farm system that id hate to throw in the towel now…sunk cost fallacy...
Not saying you’re wrong, I just tend to be skittish about trading high level prospects for anyone less than a star. In most cases, I’d rather...
Tempting. Really tempting. You keep all your arms, which makes me question whether the As would actually accept this deal. Hate seeing McCormick...
McCormick, Peña, Leon. There’s plenty of opportunity for somebody to take a big leap forward. That’s why I’d like to see us be stingy with our...
