I heard he is looking forward to bumping into some players there already

 

Look out Mike Stanton.

 

Not that this has legs, but....

Luhnow doesn't mess around.

 

We would have to get a HAUL in return for Castro. That guy is going to be a very good player, at a premium position, for a long time.

 

Agreed until long time. I don't think that Castro's knees are built to play the role of catcher for an entire career. I agree that an absolute haul that favors the Astros would make it hard to refuse, but it is worth remembering that Castro may not be a backstop for too long in this league.

 

J.R....You're slipping. :grin:
