    I'm sure I can pull up an amazing catch by Carlos Lee, we all know he was sub par in the field.
    FWIW I think Meyers can be a very good defender, AB has been a very good glove but a suspect arm. I think it is a moot point anyway because the Astros are not getting AB unless he really wants to play here for less. Crane is set of the best bats possible not left or right. I am all most positive if Uncle Mike can play he'll come on a great deal. Everything I've heard is his family and him want to stay put. Loves the teams. So if he CAN play he'll be the lefty DH/LF. They want Willson if they can get him.

    Rumor out there is he signed a deal with Houston. It's on one of the Astros Facebook groups. Something like one year for $7mil.

    If that’s a dig at the Astros it’s certainly misplaced given their active offseason so far.

    I would trust JV over DeGrom even at their respective ages

    DeGrom will never see another 30+ start season.

    As far as I know he hasn’t signed but the Astros have made him an offer. Not sure it’s a smart use of resources but he is fun to watch.

    It’s not a dig at Crane or the Astros. If anything it would be a dig at a former GM that didn’t want to spent as much or take as many risks.

    The Mets and Yankees will have some interesting choices to make.

    They have a ways to go before competing for a WC spot. They have no SP outside of deGrom (injury prone) and Perez (regression candidate). Their lineup is also weak outside of Seager and Semien. I would be surprised if they finish above .500 considering they lost 94 games last season.

    I think Verlander goes to the Mets. Yuli to the Red Sox. Astros nab Contreras and Nimmo. And some how nab Bassett. Plus trade atleast two players off our Current roster. Maton and Meyers .
    That's my remaining predictions going forward. Sounds like alot but if we front load the two contracts to dip into the Luxury tax and make there 3 and beyond years lighter it would be a great way to resign Javier Farmber Tucker ETC
