OR, after finding a deal to obtain a quality pitcher, who you could slide into the #1 spot, the guy's wife decides she doesn't want to come to...
That's a very good question, and unfortunately I don't have a great answer. In a perfect world, if I am playing armchair GM, I add an ace this...
I would respectfully disagree with you. I think Luhnow and the front office were quite realistic, and understood that this team is NOT one or two...
So......he'll be just like every other SP the Astros have? Welcome to Houston!
Quoted for truth.
Dang it, I knew I should have put some grades in my post. Puig risk = A+, potential Puig reward = A-. That grades out to about a 60 on a 70...
I just want to reiterate that I would be very happy with this offseason. I fail to see the value in Gattis, other than an occasional HR. That...
Exactly. Anyone poo pooing about the Lowrie trade still, with all the facts laid out, and the benefit of hindsight, doesn't really make sense....

That is quite possible, and you may be right. But if I am Fister and his camp, why not just accept the QO for $17M, and then again next year when...
The qualifying offer amount is estimated to be $16.7M next year....
By all accounts, Castro will ask for much more than that. I simply don't think he's worth it, which is why I feel we need to explore our other...
I'll still pound the table for Wilson Ramos. The talent has always been there, and since he had lasik eye surgery in the offseason, he's been...
Sweep... ...for US! Let's turn a bunch of these doom and gloom fans' perspective around. It's been a bad last 10 games, but all of that...
Quite possibly. But then possibly not as well. I mean there is definitely logic behind your reasoning why his price tag won't be low. But the...
