    Trade several prospects for a TOR pitcher? Well there is an idea :)

    I have to think that the Astros aren't burning a 40 man roster space to keep Fisher up for a week.

    I am guessing he is on the club as long as he isn't traded or nose dives.

    Easiest way to deal with the current 40 man roster. Will be interesting when McHugh comes back. Probably by then, there will be a trade that includes one or more guys coming off the 40 man roster.

    Jankowski is an easy DFA for either Gustave or McHugh coming back. Not a ton of demand for a 28 year old reliever with only a cup of coffee thus far.

    Preston Tucker's handling will be interesting. I wonder how much Kyle Tucker affects the decision there -- if you really believe he's a future star, you may not want to unceremoniously cut his brother.

    Two of those doubles look like they might be in the boxes. Though, is that a lot of pulled singles on the infield?

    Let's hope he starts the year like 2016 Tyler White and finishes the year like 2016 Alex Bregman.

    What a farcical point. I'm sure that if the club decides that cutting ties with Preston is the right move to make, they will make it without a second thought.

    Haven't read the whole thread...but I found out recently that you are limited in the number of guys you can put on the 60-day.

    Are you sure? I've never seen or heard of that stipulation.
