Astros acquire rights to Japhet Amador

Signing him and sending him straight to AAA...you have to figure that there's a very good chance he will be here before the season's over if he doesn't flop in OKC, don't you?

Fun signing.

 

The more I think about this, this sounds like a message to Jonathan Singleton.

Or maybe I'm reading too much into it.

 

what's the message? "eat more"?

 

Cut Calories

 

That he isn't going to get many DH chances.

 

Goodbye Jonathan Singleton

 

ONE BIG ASS SPLASH!!!!! (grandote)

 

It means they don't think he'll be ready to start next season in the pros and I don't think they want Wallace around anymore.

Did he get eaten by el grandote?

These are not the ball players you're looking for.

 

Here's Amador and his brother on a recent morning ride.

 

"You're so fat that baseball scouts say your natural position is DH."

--My newest playground insult

 

I don't know what the story behind that is, but I think that if we can get that multiplied by a factor of three and race them, we will have the premier in game racing opportunity.

 

Jose Altuve better be on the lookout during rain delays.

 

It doesn't mean that outside of your imagination.

 

:grin: :grin:

 

so you mean that jd martinez, jose altuve, jason castro, matt dominguez, johnathan villar, carlos pena werent already part of this market plan.. whats so different about this guy?? is it cause hes mexican?

i dont see what marketing to the hispanic demo has to do with the baseball side of things.. roll out some los astros jerseys and call it a day, signing an hispanic player just to get hispanic people to watch doesnt sound like a move a competant gm makes..
