    It is without a doubt, but like I said earlier it leaves you with 22 million less per year to spend, and very few high end prospects to help you fill in the gaps.

    In the end he ain't going anywhere anyway, and if somehow they did trade him they wouldn't want him in their own division

    Shoemaker is on tonight.

    Astros need to be more selective.

    Work to a fastball count.

    Or they could say Springer for Trout if we're willing to also take on Pujols and his contract.

    these unknown pitchers, that woke up playing in guadalajara and now have to pitch vs the astros, always scare me more than their aces.

    The Angels' owner doesn't need help paying his contracts... unlike the Astros owner.

    The only reason they're discussing a move like this is to jump-start the farm. They can continue to buy players if they need to, but we know that's not sustainable.

    Don't buy the hype bro. I suggest he attempts to bunt on every single at bat, he may get a single after 10 attempts. Better than his actual swing.

    Moran, Castro, Marisnick. What a horrible hitting trio right there.
