I still can't believe they took Musgrove and depth pieces for Cole. Hats off to Snake for thinking another team wanted Moran enough to get him from the Astros.
Gerrit Cole was the #1 overall pick in 2011, giving the Astros the #1 overall pick in 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014 This is better than Stanton, or Darvish. Pittsburgh is already crying LOL. All we need is Matt Cain now
I’m absolutely jacked. The Astros organization continues to be top notch, I’m blown away by this. We are so far removed from the Drayton days and doesn’t it feel wonderful??
I wasn't a fan of getting Cole because I figured it would take a really tough package to get him. I seriously didn't expect this... Outstanding trade by Lunhow. I've gotten to the point where I may never doubt him again.
Verlander, Keuchel, Cole, McCullers, Morton, McHugh, Peacock, Martes, Paulino, Rodgers, Whitley.......that’s pretty decent SP depth.
Going to miss Musgrove. He was big for us down the stretch and I think he has a bright future. Hope he can figure it out as a starter.
All the players reactions seems a bit strange to me no? I mean I’m glad they are as excited as us, but no disappointment in losing teammates? Typically it’s an even keeled reaction. Really makes me think maybe musgrove wasn’t very close with the guys
Outstanding deal Pitching is most likely covered 1. Keuchel 2. Verlander 3. Cole 4. McCullers 5. Morton 6. Giles 7. Devo 8. Harris 9. Smith 10. Rondon 11. Peacock 12. McHugh 13. Sipp/Martes/Paulino/Gose/LHRP FA
