    I think he'd happily take Rasmus for 2/20 or 3/25 or something. But obviously that's not going to happen. So aside from that, I agree that he (and I) would prefer the draft pick

    Your DH would have been Bill Spiers/Sean Berry or Richard Hidalgo.

    Or Dave Clark.

    Especially if he is going after a priority FA. Would make sense to try and recoup the first round pick that we could lose.

    3 guy with sub .295 is not bad given the astros had all players except for 3 with sub .250

    Good. Gattis swinging at pitches in the dirt and wide out of the strike zone is not what I want to watch next year.

    Either you can't read, or you don't know the difference between OBP and BA. And yes sub .295 is very bad.

    You know the Spiers/Berry platoon at 3B that year hit .304/.381/.462/.843 and Hidalgo hit .303/.355/.474/.829 as a part-time rookie, right?

    yea I just scanned it and read it too wrong. Not sure what your problem is though with your sarcastic comments, keyboard warrior. Oh I just noticed you work at walmart. AWESOME. Please post some pictures of "people of walmart".

    Yep.... its a shame that they had to go against Kevin Brown on 1 day rest with 1 shoe untied and he had to throw left-handed for a few innings to try and even things out.

    (As it is, Berry/Hidalgo were non-factors in the playoffs... Spiers with that walkoff single in game 2 though...)

    Not a shock.

    Gordon isn't a star, but he doesn't have many major flaws. You can pencil him into his spot and not have to worry about him..... he hits lefties and righties, he is a very good fielder, he make good contact, he hits with enough power to play almost anywhere in the line up and he is overall consistent.

    Gordon/Gomez/Springer would make for quite the OF.

    sure as hell would.

    gordon, chapman, and price/grienke, and you don't have to worry about anything for awhile. maybe need a stopgap in 2017 if gomez leaves to get to the transition to daz/tucker in 2018.
