Ideally, McHugh would be ready to throw 90-100 pitches in his first regular season start on March 30. But it looks like next week he will be lucky to throw 40 pitches comfortably.

I think everyone knows my opinion of giving players crazy money on long contracts. Here might be the one exception. Angels might extend Trout 10/$350M. For a once a generation talent? Yeah, I 'd pay it. link |

Dean Deetz is scheduled to start pitching in about 2 more weeks. As a member of the 40-man roster, technically he has been invited to camp but just hasn't played yet due to injury.
Maybe we will see him pitch a few innings before ST ends.
The list of Astros pitchers who are injured (or too 'sore' to play) is getting pretty long: McCullers, McHugh, Smith, Martes, James, Deetz, and I might be missing somebody.

Martes has been a steady dose of disappointing for a couple years now. Did he have TJS? |

If a team is willing to pay that much and if the Fans continue to come to the BB to watch and spend that kind of money to attend then YES!
Why should the Owners just reap the rewards? The industry makes that kind of money. Is Zuck man worth what he is worth on something the CIA gave him.

Baseball is really a team game, and for how much I hate to say this Philly is putting something together for the long haul, and Trout is a die hard Philly sports fan. |

Yeah, I 'd pay it. linkI'd do that one. But like you say, it's for a generational talent that averages ~ 9 WAR/yr. |

At $6M/war, $350M is a total of just under 60 WAR total over those years. He could continue at 9 WAR for 7 years and essentially be free for three years. |

Why should the Owners just reap the rewards? Because they take all the financial risk. |

Springer still has one arbitration year left after he plays the 2019 season under the second year of the 2-year deal he signed before the 2018 season. So if he doesn’t sign an extension, he will be looking at exploring free agency as an almost 31 year old after the 2020 season. I agree Springer deserves an extension now. If he would agree to a 5-year $100 million deal to begin with the 2020 season, I think it would be a great deal for the Astros. Thats way to high 25m per way way to high |

I don't think $25M per is too much for Springer. Considering everything he brings to the table. I'd offer 5/$120M easily Would you rather sign Springer or Cole? |

If they’re making money off my identity, then I’d deserve a cut of that. Of course, I don’t think I’d deserve nearly as much as the owner. |

There comes a time when you should reward the players who got you there. Springer is one of those guys.

Springer's always total with the effort and the organization doesn't have much for OFs that can replace him. Unless we move Correa to LF and shift some guys over

There’s a difference. |

I mean if they don’t, that’s a bad look for the team. Imagine what it looks like to players Crane and Luhnow are trying to bring here. |
