I'm very intrigued by Santana. I understand his injury was bad but he could come back a monster. Rosario is a decent bat His fielding is ok for LF.... I wouldn't go as much for Santana, but Rosario certainly has value. |

Here is an interesting one, Urquidi to the Blue Jays and Gurriel to the Astros.

I don't know if that's just food for thought or an actual rumor, but I'm not in favor of it. I think it's a fair trade, but I think it fills a hole by creating another. And given our current makeup, I don't think we're in a good enough position to give up a fairly proven young cheap starting pitcher.
Even if we didn't pick up ANY good offensive players this offseason, you're still looking at a team with a core of:
Bregman
Altuve
Correa
Tucker
Yordan
Gurriel
So two-thirds of your lineup are players with all-star-to-MVP caliber potential.

I know they do not have any faith in Whitley and rightfully so but they seem to have a lot of good young arms waiting to be called on. |

I don't think we can trust Greinke or McCullers to necessarily be good pitchers next year, and they're both possibly gone after next season anyways. That doesn't leave us with much. Urquidy and Framber may not be aces, but they at least seem to be good middle of the rotation type guys that we'll have for multiple years. |

I also think that McCullers will be better next year than he was this year and Grienke will give us some good solid innings. I also like Valdez and Javier. The thing I like about Gurriel is that he has 3 years of inexpensive control which would allow us to sign some guys even in the tighter market that we are currently in and we need two more bats but only one more starter. |

So I agree that Gurriel would accomplish that, but, if you make that move, who are your pitchers after 2021? Valdez, Javier, ...? |

L.Gurriel is a need at the moment.
Urquidy is good but we need a OF

He can play decent CF and his bat is ok.

Adam Spolane
@adamspolane
Keep an eye on David Dahl as a possibility to sign with the Astros. Gifted left-handed hitter who can play centerfield, and his wife is from Spring

I think a lot of us have sort of given up on the starting pitching without JV, Cole, Morton, Keuchel, etc. Those were the days. |

The Astros should be looking at Dahl, Schwarber, Rosario, and Bradley. We're not in a position to pass up a chance at some overall pretty solid OFers that should be pretty affordable. Not every position needs to be an all-star with as good as our core still is.
Bradley should be a no-brainer. I'm very surprised he was non-tendered.

Tepera from the Cubs could be a decent pick-up also. Outside of 2019 he has been a very consistent solid reliever.

The Astros should be looking at Dahl, Schwarber, Rosario, and Bradley. I wouldn't pay him a lot, but a career .816 OPS and strong postseason numbers is worth a look even if his defense is not good. I'd easily pay him a couple million to play LF, hit 25+ HRs and maintain a .330+ OBP. |

What about Dahl in LF to try and save him from Injury?
Then look for a CFer?
Just a thought.
Maybe sign Danny Santana as insurance or Profor? As the emergency back up OF and sign Bradley?
The OF would be pretty stacked with defensive minded players. I'm sure some would want some power some where out there. But if you look at a guy like Schwarber and his 150+ SO a season that kinda scary. On the other hand if you place him behind Yordan and use him as protection you might be ok with his high SO rate but power to LF giving you possibly a 40+ hr guy?

There are plenty of options out there for outfielders as well as pitchers. The direction that Click takes will be interesting. Hell even doing nothing is fodder for conversation.

Dahl I could see I have always liked Dahl, now if we could get Dahl and Bradley then I think the outfield would be set. Then all we would have to do is figure out which two pitchers we want. |
