I haven’t read the latest numbers or seen a study in 20 years, but the great Bill James said 27 when he crunched there numbers. That might have...
I mean- 27 YO is typically apex production for a baseball player, so…
Feels like Brantley is going to get 10+ of he gets healthy. Feels like it’s a waste not to go get Conforto or something like that for 50% more....
Maybe, just maybe, the "dysfunctional" front office never was, but was petty bullshit whisper campaign from a small minded moron that didn't fit...
Seriously man, the next time he gets one right on the Astros will be the first. He's like Costanza. Just go the opposite of whatever he says....
That's my read as well. Nimmo would be #1 choice for me. Contreras #2, Conforto #3, Uncle Mike way way way back at #4
Hey @Nook your boy Keith Law hates the deal and says it's proof that the Astros are going to hell for getting rid of Click and Crane sucks. He is...
Yep. And if we really want to get greedy we could also still see if Conforto would do a 2/30 with an opt out after 1. That would essentially...
Buy a hell of a lot more than JD Martinez. Off the top of my head going for less than 20M would be Bell, Contreras, Abreu and Comforto who would...
Martinez is u playable in the OF and he’s washed. If we gave him 15M a year instead of Comtreras or Abreu 18M a year yeah- I’d be highly pissed.
You are way too low on Abreu. I would flip out and break **** if we signed Jd Martinez for 2/30. That would be the worst contract of the entire...
I’m the biggest Forest Whitley homer around… he didn’t look great after TJ. He had a couple really promising outings and a lot of **** outings.
Again, it wouldn’t be for a catcher. It would be for an above average bat that would catch 50 or 60 times a year and get the majority of his AB’s...
And yet, you are not willing to set the terms of a bet and continue to call me an idiot for reasons. I’ve been a season ticket holder for a lot...
$ per war. That’s it. That’s the value the entire industry ascribes to players. If I’m comically wrong make the bet. the last time I was told I...
Abreu is an 18M a year bat. Contreras is your DH 100 games a year and your catcher 50 games a year.
I’d be happy to make you a bet of any amount and kind that you want that Rodon will be a better value for his next contract than JV. Name the...
Rodon at 5/120 would be a done deal tomorrow for me. That’s only 24M and I think I trust him more than JV in the playoffs. We can baby him with...
Rodon would do well here with the 6 man rotation and maybe swinging it where he only has to pitch one time a week for 6 innings.
Cue James Carville on Old School Gif- I have nothing more to say, this is a perfect answer.
