What exactly does Phil Maton give us? I checked his stats and saw nothing to get excited about.

No Buxton stays with the Twins Well, we are screwed unless we get another OF.

I can't believe he did this without having a deal for another CF. Click did a good job up until this.......what do we do for another outfielder?

Unless there is something we haven't heard yet, that leaves us with McCormick, Tucker and Brantley in the OF with Alvarez part time in LF. There has to be something else going on.

Maybe my boy Dawson can be our new 4th outfielder.

Oh hell..........Bortaz wanted him to replace Straw in CF. It’s common to hide your disappointment by telling an unfunny Jork…I mean, joke. You’ll be ok, you still have your memories and your posters above your bed.

So I guess Chas gets a lot more playing time. Hopefully they see something that they think they can fix with Maton. Real head scratcher there

The Astros management have been gushing over him he will get a shot with Chas

My biggest disappointment though is that Raley is still out there for Baker to call on.

I think Maton has some potential and he'll be super cheap for a few years. I just feel like we could have gotten better for Straw. Maybe Straw isn't highly valued in this new power-crazed baseball world.
