i'd rather the rangers got him than the team who just needed a little more offense to win the world series
i'm disgusted. expecting to hear that astros made offer for like 17/per but refused to come to 20. this feels like peyton manning all over again.
Sounds like a great hire and the Blum news is awesome. Feel bad that Brownie is gone right when the should-be glory years are taking place.
not at all. comparing this era to 07-14 is apples to oranges. there were never any young studs on those teams. if this constitutes a...
yeah, i'm in the camp who doesn't love the package, but if it ends up being the only possible way of getting him, i'd be for it without much...
this i support.
You named the team that may actually believe in that philosophy.
it looks like he's missed like 2 championships by one year with the giants and cards, plus our world series by a year, so maybe 2018 is in fact...
you may very well be right, but you're making assumptions on their gurriel views, and you're also ignoring the rest of the potential package....
lol, and the result was signing one on a one-year deal for $16MM? the astros must not be very good at playing that game. they may very well not...
who knows. short-term immediate help with upside at the major league level doesn't seem like a worthless asset.
been saying this all along. personally, i don't see how gurriel/reed/martes/ktucker/musgrove package doesn't get sale. doesn't really seem...
Encarnacion. Then Gurriel is getting packaged and traded for Sale or Archer. Catch up to speed. It's happening.
this is one possibility. another is that they then can use gurriel in a package for pitching
i think people are overlooking the possibility that they are trying to sign both.
Eggs, cheese, bacon/sausage/whatever in a tortilla with some salsa...You're not gonna barf that out, yet think the same ingredients scraped out...
Agreed. People in here are acting like it tastes bad. Shut your effing mouth and chew. It's tasty. We get it, you "know" authentic tacos, and...
Making my call: Signing EE and Beltran. Opens up Gurriel to be moved. Gurriel, Reed, Martes, K.Tucker, Musgrove, Marisnick. The 1st 3, and...
that's a bizarre way of looking at it. "wasting a pick on tom savage" would be the least of anybody's concerns. may as well say if weeden...
They will start Savage, don't worry. Next year, around the halfway point, when that season is lost too. And he'll more or less suck too. How do...
