    We signed Wade Miley for 4.5 million to pitch this season. He’s 6th in ERA in the AL.

    Diaz? Lol he still has 3 more years of Arbitration.

    Biagini .... 3 more years of arbitration lol.

    Osuna .... 2 more years of arbitration..

    I’m not even talking the Verlander, Cole, and Greinke deals.
    This organization is smarter than the previous 50+ years of all combined Astros employees intelligence.
    It almost makes me hate the 90’ and 2000’s owner ship and decision makers.

    Enjoy the ride. Jeff Luhnow is the best thing to happen to Houston, Texas since David Stern announced the 1984 NBA first overall draft picks.

    Hunsicker was a good GM that Drayton wouldn't listen to.

    Who would be on this team if Morey were GM?

    Bryce Harper? David Price? Pujols for sure. Cano?

    Gerry also had some stubbornness... and I don't think it was Drayton who told him to leave Abreu unprotected.

    Still, he was a much better GM then the guys between him and Luhnow and put together a lot of good teams for Houston.

    I want to make a custom Astros jersey with "LUHNOW" on the back. My only problem is that I can't think of an appropriate number of the options I'm allowed (two digits, only numerals). I was thinking 77 for lucky 7s but there's nothing lucky about what he does. Suggestions welcome.

    Is there a complete dumbass switch that gets turned on when people begin to type about the Rockets? GARM trash generally stays out of the Astros forum.

    Here are the options:
    69: because with Luhnow in charge, everybody gets pleased at the same time
    1: because he took the Astros to #1
    17: 2017, the year he won it all.

    I should add that I'd rather it be a number that's not retired or never likely to be picked as an active number. Here are the current active numbers.
    And retired numbers.

    I'm probably never going to get briefly on TV with "LUHNOW 69" on my back. I would have mad cred with all the 13-yr-olds around me, though.

    They said last night that 20% of our roster are former Blue Jay's. That kinda shocked me. To see two days worth of talk and counseling with Sanchez and then see his game completely changed with more curves, 4 seams and change ups shows me we should be just fine when the core is broken up as long as Lunhow is here. He kept the Cards as playoff contenders and a fat farm system his entire time there.
