Of course it is highly tilted towards the player. But plenty of 3-year deals go south with or without an injury, and plenty of players outperform...
Agreed on Jalen. We could have done better, and Sengun is unrelated. But Jabari is not really a debate. We couldn’t get Chet or Paolo without a...
Aren’t you Mr Free Market? If both sides agree to this structure, why shouldn’t it be allowed?
You two are using two different metrics. He is quoting "% of minor league Cubans who are in the Astros system" and you are quoting "% of Astros...
Very interesting analysis on Altuve- I am less worried now … even a drop off to 100 OPS+ from a majority 2B is a very useful player (we will be...
Sure man. No doubt the world conspired five years ago to life a Missouri team that no one cares about to multiple titles. I will take your highly...
Obviously the NFL desperately wants the coastal metropolis that is Kansas City to repeatedly win the biggest game. Because, maybe, perhaps, a pop...
I agree. I’m not optimistic on Cabbage, but I see Whitley becoming one of the best 6th inning guys (a role where inconsistency is expected),...
Javier gets injured and/or stalls out after 4 too often. But Brown is a workhorse. I would double down on your bet. Tell him to just unleash for...
I’ve never been close to this excited. I am not sure yet who will take 6 and/or 5 and/or 4 … but I have a sneaking suspicion that the Astros’ ERA...
Good lord. Mathloom was responding very specifically to someone who said they were disappointed in Jabari’s shooting because he wasn’t as good a...

Unfortunately, that part of being American - the part that truly Made America Great - is dead for much of the country. Now grown men care deeply...
I love the guy, but he doesn’t have the lateral shiftiness either - it’s not just handles. He is a straight line freight train - that doesn’t work...
A yes/no poll is just not nuanced enough. You cannot win a title with one franchise player, unless that person is a top 3 player in the NBA. And I...
He has been great the last two games. Of course we would prefer he makes his 3s, but there is more to the game than one type of shot. If you...
There is no free lunch from deferring salary. There are two scenarios from a deferral: 1) the team pays interest on the deferred money at the...
I just assume we are saving the money for Snell, then will trade Urquidy or France for a fourth OF! :)
Or, instead of being as lazy as Dusty, you could look at his production in the field and at the plate instead of his physique. Even his sprint...
Same. But when I see five good posters in a row react to a muted post saying some variant of “you are wrong,” it validates that muting.
