    Gattis was very popular also, as was Tony Kemp

    These guys would be sad to see him gone and then would jump up and down like 10 year olds as soon as Mancini hit a bomb

    Trading one of the studs would be a huge morale buster, Reddick ain’t one of them

    Yeah, the whole "everything is a-ok, just stand pat" is boggling to me.

    Most everyone who watches the Astros disagrees.

    Would you trade Tucker for MadBum + Will Smith?

    No, wouldn’t even consider it

    So much is being made of how dominant Bum was in the 14 playoffs, well he was dominant all the time back then

    Compare his numbers the last few years to Keuchel, not just Era and Whip but the advanced numbers too. Bum basically = Keuchel at this point

    I love Dallas Keuchel, I’m not trading a potential perennial All Star for him and Will Smith, and I ain’t trading him for Bum and Will either

    Would love Bum and Smith, but let’s talk about JBB, Abreu, Kemp, Fisher for them

    Isnt Smith a free agent at the end of this year? You would give up our top prospect for 2 rentals?

    Are some of you losing your mind?

    Yep. I'm pretty down on Tucker.

    Maybe not those 2, but any very good 2 and I pull the trigger. Let's win the whole ****ing thing.

    It isn’t really an issue.

    Can't do that if they are both free agents next year.

    Doesn’t really work that way.

    They would miss him and be disappointed he was dealt and then they would do their jobs and try to win.

    Never impressed with Tucker; can't hit and has personality of a kamode float.

    This. We don’t win anything in 2017 with that attitude. There are ways to improve this group and you better believe that the Dodgers and Yankees are going to improve.
