[MEDIA] Don’t like this. Think we still need more starting pitching.
I like that Burrows has the years of control. Hopefully the lab can turn him into a machine
This feels like we’re getting fleeced. I understand trades hurt sometimes but giving that package up for Burrows feels like a pretty decent overpay.
Maybe I’m wrong, but it feels like the Astros are 100% going to make minimal moves and then pull a “we were injured last year. We believe in the...

I think adding a top-of-the-rotation starter will be a top-2 priority. Options: -Framber (despite his comments about wanting to be back, I highly...
It’s bad that we are all expecting the worst with this news…but can anyone blame us? It’s been something new, all season long
