Seems like we should/could be in on this story given our depth there.

 

he really narrowed it down.

 

All of the relievers have been Left Handers. I doubt Sipp has any value and we need another LHP reliever too.

 

Astros about to go all-in.

I feel it.

Maybe we should load up on lefty RP's in the offseason so we can cash in next year :grin:

 

Luhnow is like Morey; aggressively low-balling everyone

 

He wasn't in the Giles trade.

 

Yep, pretty incredible insight.

 

Damn, why wouldn't they want a perfect fit DH.

 

He even pre-lubed before bending over. Thats how considerate Luhnow is.

 

Beltran to Rangers; Dillon Tate back to NY.

Rays OF Brandon Guyer to Cleveland

 

Agreed, but that leaves me hopeful the Astros are working toward getting something done that is impactful.

 

Only good thing about that is it will be that much sweeter if we take them.

 

Ouch....geez.

 

well I guess we can still boo him amirite?

 

Tate roughly equivalent to Albert Abreu; not too bad a deal for the Rangers if that's all they gave up.

 

That's all it took to get Beltran? Tate has been pretty bad in A ball.
