    I've hated buying insurance, but damn the one time you need it aren't you glad you paid for it. I worry about rushing him to the mound, but sounds like he's been working on his preparation. Would be the icing on the cake for this year's roster.

    Love it.

    With our bullpen, a 5 inning pitcher would work real well.

    As much as I want to believe this, it's a Boras leak to get the Yankees or Rangers to pay

    I don't know. Apparently they had scouts at his showcase thing today. Unless it's fake interest from the team in hopes of NY or Texas to panic and over pay on both money and term.

    Yeah and if they were, most likely with Montgomery and not Snell.

    It started as a random mistake that turned into a joke among astros fans on twitter. Just stuck for me

    Snell, if healthy, would be a game changer
