So if the Astros do somehow manage to win another WS in 2020, who do you give the credit to? (Besides the players.) Luhnow, Crick, Crane, or Baker?

Which would accomplish jack shit unless the said roster is kicked out of baseball. Hey now, the Astros traded away this off-season the player that seemingly took the most advantage of the 2017 home field camera, one Jake Marisnick...We are talking about a 4th OF that made a great catch every once in a while... Ask one of Jake's big fan, Corch, how feels about the move....And then ask another of Jake's big fan, ummmm, well....So don't tell me the Astros are not trying to make amends.... we dealt away our best defensive outfielder and one of the best in baseball. I agree with the trade as it should help both the Astros and Jake....probably Jake more than us. |

I think before long you will become a huge Straw fan...He was a defensive star in the minor leagues.... hopefully the Astros will give him enough playing time...I am hoping he has a high OB%, and with that, Dusty gives him the green light... |

Yeah, Bregman has to easily be our least-liked player by opposing fans.

And when they trade away Springer and Correa and Verlander...and lose 100+ games a season, you'll ALL be calling for someone's head and for Crane to sell the team to Drayton. I can reclaim the maytag repairman tag on GDT's. |

I am already a huge Straw fan. I hope he progresses to the point of being our starting CF and leading off. I bope Baker turns him loose on the bases. |

I suggested signing Pence the other day. He had good numbers last year.......is right-handed bat that can DH, play the OF, or pinch hit. I hope if we sign Pence that means Reddick is going to be traded. I always liked Pence and hated seeing him in a Rangers uniform. I hope he is coming back to Houston. |

So when we fail to trade Reddick and his $13mm, and we sign pence, who loses their spot in the lineup? Yordan is our DH, our OF is full with Springer, Brantley, Reddick, Straw and Tucker, Yuli is our 1B. You sitting any of those guys for Pence? |

If you sign Pence you have two options.
Yuli trade and move Brantley to 1B.
Or
Trade Reddick. Or Brantley or Springer.
Its unlimited.
But what does that say about Myles Straw and Kyle Tucker?

I will say this if the Padres miss on Mookie. Reddick or Brantley could be a nice Target for them.

Give it up, dumbass. You have wanted to dump Yuli for at least two years. He will NOT be traded .at least, not before the break and I don't expect it then as we will be in the playoff race. He is coming off his best season........298--31 HR------104 RBI. Other numbers are also very good. Who do you think will replace those numbers? PS: Brantley is not going to be traded either. Now, if we could extend Springer and trade Brantley and Correa to Boston for Betts, I'd go for it., |
