Yulieski Gurriel agrees to 5/$47M deal with the Astros

Honestly, we are getting kind of jumbled with IF, I would rather put that 22 mil towards 1-2 year of an awesome OF bat or DH. I said towards, like someone that costs more than that but we saved 22 mil here

 

for 7 years 22 mil I would have taken a flyer on him.

 

wonder if signing in canada was trump-related

 

Would've been nice to get him but definitely not upset that we didn't. I'm far from an expert but everything I've read about him recently hasn't exactly been rave reviews. Seems to project as a solid player but far from a star.

On to the next one.

 

I like the Gurriel we already have.

 

Cubans love trump. they are the main reason he won florida.
Not everything over the next 8 years will be related to trump. Remember that he won, so a lot of people agree with his platform.

 

Please turn on your sarcasm detector.

 

Cubans in the United States that were loyal to Batista and fled to the United States love Trump. Cubans that were in favor of the revolution and stayed in Cuba? Not necessarily.

The Cubans in Florida were of a certain economic and political bend... they are not representative necessarily of a majority of defectors.

 

If I'm not mistaken Loudres would have played OF and didn't really save any money

 

That statement about trump could be said ten times by ten different people and be a legitimate question in five of those cases. that's how silly the nation is being right now. I have seen that question posed without sarcasm more than once concerning free agents .

 

Ironic that Mark Cuban hates him

 

...and none of that has a damn thing to do with a professional Cuban baseball player

 

He's our second best hitter behind Altuve.

I think he's hitting his groove more than just a usual hot streak.

 

He's more like our fifth or sixth best hitter.

 

For average? At making contact?

I'm positive Correa & Springer are better hitters.

 

I think not.

Stats are not indicative of the adjustments he's making right now.

 

Just pure hitting yes.

 

If a player has consistently better results at the plate then he is a better hitter. It's really that simple.

 

Yulie has started to get in a comfort zone. A bonafide star addition by Luhnow.
