    Players like Houston. It's a misconception because of the Rockets

    Them too but the Rockets routinely strike out on FA's. We got Dwight and that's about it

    Mancini 7 RBI, Soto 0 RBI. He is our Dale Murphy, doesn't look like a power hitter, but can hit a ton.

    The list of teams that have lured more high profile players over the last 30 years is extremely short.

    So far so good. Looks like he needs to be in the lineup everyday

    I think a 3 year/$66M extension is good for both sides. We lock him in to be our first baseman for three more years, he gets to play on a good team he already appears happy to be on, he plays in a city with a good ballpark for right handed power hitters, and he gets to boost his home runs numbers, which helps him when he reaches free agency again after his age 33 season.

    That seems like way more than I would guess he’d get at 31 years old and being solid but not much more. I was thinking 3/45.

    I was thinking Olson money. He's not getting an Olson or Freeman deal in terms of length. I think 3 years, 15-17 AAV is more like it, considering he's a R/R 1B without much positional versatility.

    Wow. Amazing move by the Astros getting this guy. The rest of the AL must be really pissed off.

    He'll get a Brantley/Reddick type contract.
