The problem specifically with Homer is that he's a free agent next year and there's certainly no guarantee he'll resign. I agree that the Astros...
He'd be great but he's gonna cost $150+ million including posting fee. Might be a little steep.
I'm sure they'd want to reinstitute the reserve clause and only pay minimum wage to players if could. The only reason contracts are going up is...
Heyman lists the Astros as one of the teams that could make a play for Ellsbury. He's previously turned down a 100 million dollar extension and...
Indians released closer chris Perez today (was projected to make around $9 million in arbitration). Lunhow picked Perez in the supp first round...
That's wrong. They lose the comp pick. See cleveland Indians this past offseason
Given the year plus difference in their age, is choo a better target than Ellsbury?
Apparently it was a blind bidding a week and a half ago. I doubt it was a PR bid to come up this short in a blind bidding process.
And if he does that he runs the risk of the astros having the first two picks next year and only being eligible to be drafted #3 or later with the...
Wait, you're counting Ron Washington as one of his successes? The guy who basically single handedly cost them the 2011 World Series with his...

The deal seemed slightly bad at the time just because it's hard to get fair value for a young, established, team-controlled stud like Cabrera....
They've been doing that. Doesn't hurt to try acquire more depth when it doesn't cost anything more than a waiver claim. I hope they do anything...
Astros sign 16-yo Dominican Outfielder for $170,000....
Who says he stays on the 40-man? Wouldn't be surprised if they claimed him and try to sneak him through waivers later in order to keep him....
So as someone who wants 1)the astros on tv before next season,and 2) for them to get a deal that at least puts them in the middle class of mlb...
The 33, 39, and maybe 75 picks will change depending on where free agents with qualifying offers sign.
Yeah, basically the international pool applies to anyone not subject to the mlb draft (outside USA, Puerto Rico, and Canada), with a few...
Their signing bonuses don't count against the pool. Because of their age and playing experience they are exempt from the bonus restrictions (like...
Maybe they've invested wisely, but the one thing they haven't done under Lunhow is spend big money internationally. They left a large portion of...
