Yea, I don't really get the understand the point of the phrasing Jon Morosi used. The Astros are interested BUT ITS A TOP PADRES PRIORITY. What...
Tucker would be a total idiot to take that. As Sealclubber1016 said, Tucker will likely be a multi-time all-star and gold glover by the time he...
No one's a huge Dubon fan when you consider how many PA's he gets. He's a well-below average bat. But I agree with IdStrosfan 100% that he's...
Moreno is a top 10 prospect in all of baseball, 3rd overall by Fangraphs. That caliber of prospect rarely gets traded and if so, the astros aren't...
Murray was the more confusing one to me. Weird to trade for a guy and immediately expose him to be taken in the rule 5. Not losing any sleep...
I dunno. Yuli didn't really up his FA prospects even with the strong playoff performance. He's still a guy entering his age-39 season who was...
Obviously a concern but I can't remember another time where the stakes of doing something like that were so low. The rotation: already loaded. The...
Wow. Varsho would be amazing.
That's the thing about Neris; he did have a great season. He was slightly better by fWAR at 1.6 than Pressley (1.4), Montero (1.5), or Abreu...
The Stros have a small number of particular needs. To the extent trading Stanek would fill one of those needs or upgrade an existing position I'm...
Honestly, who knows? Only Verlander knows what Verlander wants. He's as in the drivers seat as any free-agent I can remember. It didn't take...
I think it was pretty clear that he was overused and overexposed during the playoff run, but Dusty was going to ride or die with him. I have no...
Not the best assumption, but bear with me, if you assume that Press/Montero/Neris run back their combined 4.5 fWAR next seasonat $33.5m........
I've seen this narrative a few times........ I was at game 6. After the 7th inning BOTH Abreu and Montero were warming in the bullpen. Abreu...
Of course. Widening highways is usually a necessary intermediate term step. There is no reasonable argument that Austin couldn't use more...
Lol, I was just about to post something agreeing with Nook about the reliever contracts, using Nick Martinez as validation of Montero's contract....
Yes. That's why some people think that widening highways is a fruitless endeavor long-term. As someone who lived in Houston Clear Lake area for...
Cuz that’s functionally only a guaranteed $40m…. Been mentioned several times in the forum but the mutual option you’re describing very rarely...
As mentioned, Verlander’s $66m over 2 is the Astros AAV record. scherzer’s deal is the major league AAV record.
Basically yes. If JV doesn't resign I doubt the stros go after another outside option. They have 6 solid starting options (beyond JV) and can run...
