He thinks cost for Bell and Contreras is too much. But follow up tweet, he thinks Bell, backup C/platoon C, and OF would be on the table. If it's Bell, Vasquez, and OF, I would prefer something like that than Bell and Contreras. I wonder if Click thinks it's too much for Bell and Contreras or Crane. Maybe Crane will tell him to F it and get both.
Brandon Belt and Wilmer Flores are interesting potential Astros targets now that SF looks like they’re selling.
They weren’t very good last year. It was like a 99.99 percentile outcome. It was pretty inevitable they would take a huge step backward, and I bet their under, but I was thinking 84-78 or something like that.
Flores plays 1b,2b,3b but how often does he play 1b? How big of an upgrade is he on Gurriel. Also Belt can reject a trade because of his rights as 10 and 5 veteran.
There saying not so much in on a Catcher but a 1B they are all in Josh Bell should be an Astro Astros are still looking at a SP CF and a RP possible young Catcher some where no Vet at Catcher
In light of the report that the Nats may bundle Bell with a reliever, Astros get: 1B Josh Bell RHP Kyle Finnegan Nationals get: RHP Alex Santos IF Joe Perez OF Logan Cerny We bring two native Texans back to their home state. Bell from the Dallas area, and Finnegan from much closer, Kingwood. Finnegan has great stuff but not the most consistent. Perhaps he is someone our staff can fix. If Bell doesn't re-sign, Finnegan is also fallback.
