Narveos or whatever his name is should be the guy and go ahead and hit him against RHP and Maldy against LHP. I mean, if we don’t require maldy to...
He’s 32 years old, has two World Series rings and has been an all star. What the **** is it that he needs to learn from Maldy? Son of a ****ing...
Yeah. I was arguing in favor of that saying limit on a catcher should be 100 games, tops, as long as we are in the stage where we are clowning...
If you set WAR at 10M per (which is where it looks like it went to this year) I absolutely believe Contreras gets there and is a positive...
If he catches 100 games and is our playoff guy I’m happy I guess. There’s no reason for any Astro Catcher to ever catch more than 100 regular...
For us? Depends upon LMJ and Brown but you could see him anywhere between 3 and 5 in our rotation. He’s better than Urquidy. He’s probably...
So prices cooling off a bit? Only 3 years at 21 per seems reasonable to me for him.
Not even close on the arbitration years. Typical first year of arbitration would be 3 or 4M for all but superstars (Last year was year 1 of Arb...
I know the numbers say that, I’m just having a hard time buying. The guys who came up with them say they can be off in a sample size of 1 year and...
He’s making 18M this year. If he’s bad again wonder who will take him and how much he will get. Please let him be bad again.
This would absolutely be me if I owned the Astros and was worth anywhere over 10B. 500M payrolls as far as the eye can see.
Yeah- it really is crazy. I was banging the table for him over Appel (really really didn’t like Appel- never got everyone’s fascination with him-...
If he strikes out 70% of the time draws 3 walks and hits a HR in a series at the 8 spot it’s probably a win compared to most teams 8 hitters....
That’s fair. Better than doing nothing for me. If he sucks for 3 months you could always go back to Meyers/JJ/ whoever.
Brown and Garcia could. smith and Stanek could have combined for 3 and that wouldn’t have been an Impediment for us going forward. It’s just not...
It’s almost like I noted that, said they were gross, said “only if he signs for cheap money on a short deal” etc. he does some stuff well. The...
It’s not a done deal or anything. It sure feels like that’s high on their list of things to do if he’s medically cleared.
Hunter Brown didn’t pitch, Garcia threw 1 inning I think and Stanek threw 2/3 of an inning. Smith also didn’t pitch. Those 3 innings didn’t matter...
Counterpoint: The Astros are so good that there is no such thing as a “key situation” during the regular season, and in the post season you don’t...
You want to fill them both and you want to try first at least with money. I’d love Conforto but that’s as a full time guy. Straight platoon...
