    Yes - which is why having quality player evaluation people is so important.
    That is again where player development really comes into play. The key is knowing which of these prospects to trade away. The Astros have been very lucky the last 7-8 years, most of their prospects have made it and exceeded expectations...... most of those traded by the Astros have not. The Astros know their own players extremely well, which is a common trait with most long-term elite organizations. The Braves in the 90's were like that with pitching. They knew how good they would be.

    That doesn't mean the Astros would not deal away good players - but they are less likely to trade their truly best prospects than other organizations. The Astros internal prospect rankings are sometimes pretty different than what we see commercially or what other organizations rank them. Players like McCormick, Javier, Diaz, Pena, Alvarez and Abreu were largely not available in trade because the Astros identified them and protected them.

    I chose Mets because they are committed to Win and are a legit Team that demands respect. They are committed to there team and isn't high strung or to demanding on there players. . Hmmm idk . I guess that just fell out the sky

    Any deal between the Mets and Rangers has to include Kumar Rocker. :)

    He also said he joined the Mets because he did not like or want the Pressure of October Baseball. That's why the Mets are a team for me. No pressure .

    Guess that's also something he didn't say


    I mean I guess he never said any of this.
    I guess he didn't mean it. He never said anything bad about Houston. He just said he doesn't like the pressure.
    This isn't what we need on this team.

    Dude if you’re being serious post a link or stfu. Verlander never said he didn’t want to pitch in the playoffs. That’s asinine.

    I could make a meme on Tik Tok about SKYGODZ187 having Klinefelter Syndrome, that doesn’t make it a source for the truth.

    Not 100% but I think he's using that twitter user who posts fake comments everyday and in the bottom it says, he may or may not have said this. FYI, all the comments the user makes are made up lol.


    Can't find it but its fax sports mlb
