What a “soft rebuild” of trading Yordan and Pena might look like: Astros get: OF Carson Benge SP Jonah Tong IF/OF Jett Williams SP Kodai Senge...
Yes but Luhnow was dealing much less valuable players. There wasn’t a single star level player on the 2012 roster, much less one in his prime...
I think the record for top 100 prospects was the Royals back in like 2011 when they had 8-11 prospects on almost every list. Not that I’m rooting...
Cool. I can tell you’re super knowledgeable and put a lot of thought into that. You’re 100% right. I’m ridiculous.
I think it would be impossible to find a realistic trade for Yordan Alvarez that brings back a ToR SP plus 3 elite prospects. 3 top 100 prospects...
I don’t think that anyone knows the answer for sure. My guess is that in the event of a completely lost season, guaranteed contracts would...
While I do stand by the assertion that the organization is only 3-5 players away from being on par with 2017-2022, I just went back and looked at...
I’ve done some pretty extensive Pareto analysis comparing the current organizational roster against the last 10-12 years, and it really boils down...

A daily round of hypotheticals until the Astros actually f’n do something: Astros get: SP Kris Bubic Royals: CF Jake Meyers Astros get: SP...
Royals gave Lane Thomas $5M. Chas McCormick may end up getting more than he would have in arbitration.
They wouldn’t have picked him if they didn’t expect him to be on the roster.
Winter Meetings Week not delivering this year.
Braves get Suarez. If they find a SS they are going to be extremely good.
Walker is easily worth as much as Mike Yastrzemski, who just got $23M/2yrs guaranteed. My guess is Walker would fetch something like $27M/2yrs,...
Astros actually have a pretty strong group of ready or near-ready young players who could open/re-open the window in Smith, Matthews, Cole,...
A hypothetical to help the Mets grab some headlines: Astros get: IF/OF Jeff McNeil SP Kodai Senga SP Brandon Sproat Mets get: RP Bryan Abreu CF...
I’m pretty sour on Espada but let’s see what Dana does over the next 9 months.
