Any Truth - Britton to Astros

lol

 

You're not sure because you surely want to be difficult.

 

That's an old joke going way back: don't ever hire an Aggie in HR because next thing you know you'll have an office full of 'em.

 

The interns where I am right now all happen to be Aggies.

 

Would anyone do JB Bukauskas for Britton straight up?

 

I would. I hear his stock is tanking, may be worth trading him for whatever value is still left. Pitching prospects are stacked (Whitley, Martin, Perez), and a dominant lefty late-innings guy would be great for our team.

 

He's been hurt, throwing bp sessions again now. Still would have to think hard about that.

Now if you said Martes (who is shut down for another month at least) for Britton, I'd be all over that.

 

Bukauskas pick I didn't like at the time when he was selected, Bukauskas is a Closer, Forrest Whitley I knew he was a star

 

I hope those players are not involved, would rather trade other players.

 

I JUST MET YOU

YOUR TRADE IS CRAZY

BUT HERE'S MY NUMBER

SO CAMERON MAYBIN!!


(i really tried to resist posting this, but I can't not hear that song when I think of Cameron Maybin)

 

Wow. Now I'm really glad we traded him.

There are prescription drugs that can take care of this I'm sure.

 

They are a very cultish clan

 

Martin has potential

But when you have our organizational depth and are legit contenders for a 2nd ring

Love ya Corbin but ba bye

 

Can't be true, Luhnow just sits all around getting congratulated and doesn't do any work.

 

He may end up on the DL soon - shoulder strain from patting himself on the back.

 

Unless Bukauskas' injury has long term implications, I pass. That's mostly due to concerns about Britton though. So far, he's thrown 3 innings, walked as many as he struck out, and his fastball is averaging almost 2.5 mph less than it was the last time it was good. Since he throws it 90% of the time, I'd want to see some sustained success with it at that velocity (or him regaining velocity). The Astros are a good enough team, with enough assets that they don't need to be focusing on reclaimation projects

 

Britton has an injury history, right?

 

Big time. Somebody detailed it in another thread quite well.

 

Do.not.want.

 

Trade correa and altuve for him right now!!
