Why do all of you former "In Luhnow We Trust" people not trust him when it comes to Realmuto and extending our core? Some of y'all are acting like we still have Ed Wade or Tim Purpura. could be because he did a good imitation of them at the 2018 trade deadline........we needed a bat.......he sat on his ass and got nobody......Yeah, i know he had a "deal on the table" for Bryce Harper. But, Bryce Harper wasn't on the only damn fish in the creek and he didn't catch any of them. He made a great trade in getting Osuna for Giles,but, that didn't get us the bat we needed. He did great in signing Brantley, made a good trade for Diaz, and signing Chirinos was a good move, but, we still need pitching. He did swing a deal for Cole last Jan. 13th....I will be shocked if Luhnow does not pull off a trade for pitching this OS.. and maybe sign a reliever as well... |

I'm actually one of the few here who wants to trade for Realmuto. However, I would love for that to happen without Tucker being involved, and I know Luhnow won't include Whitley in any trade at all. |

Jimmy Wynn is the "Toy Canon." He was nicknamed that for being a little guy who hit prodigious home runs. I remember he had a seat in the upper deck of the astrodome where one of his shots hit. They painted a Canon on it. Another was of similar distance which was hit by "the Rooster" who I believe was Doug Rader. They painted a rooster on it. Altuve wasn't our first little guy. And Cesar Cedeno was from Venezuela long before the current fad of international development.
While it took our city some time to get over "separate, but equal' that did not apply to the Astros. Cesar Cedeno is from the Dominican Republic.Oops! My memory failed me again. I mixed him up with the Venezuelan Academy pipeline from later. |

The Cole deal was great and should not have been a surprise since we had been rumored to be after him at the 2017 deadline. Luhnow makes some good moves.........when he finally decides to do something. I hope you are right about adding the pitching because we definitely need another starter, and, another bullpen arm won't hurt. |

Martin's almost 36 and started less than 80 games at catcher each of the last 2 seasons. He's a backup backstop wherever he is come Spring training one would think So what’s your best guess? Does he backup Barnes or Realmuto in LA? |

Giants must have money to burn.....they have signed Derek Holland to 1yr/$7million deal. He is not worth it.

I think Luhnow is interested. I don't think we'd end up spending the money that Harper will go for, but I do think they want him. Every team should want him. Supposedly we were involved in talks earlier in the year. |

I always liked him and remember that Nolan Ryan was high on him when he came up with the Rangers. I have always thought the Rangers misused him and that led to injuries. I hope he does well, just surprised he got that much money, |
