    They never will because Springer and Brantley care about winning.

    I think it’s more that Springer won a title and neither acted like a jerk while forcing their way out of town.

    This. Sure Springer and Brantley are likely both gone, but at least they were ****ing whiny babies about it on their way out.

    Losing Springer is tough. I don't care if I knew it was probably going to happen. Really likeable player and clubhouse guy.

    Going to miss him.

    He is old, expensive, and not a very good defensive player.

    Do they go for Bradley Jr now with Brantley in the fold?

    Finally some good news after what feels like an endless dick punch from Houston sports over the last several months.

    Its a fair deal. Being only 2 years was key. But now it is imperative for Houston to add a CF who is good defensively.

    Is this true? Did we really get Uncle Mike back? Same contract we signed him to before?

    Jake to hold down CF until Leon is ready, then slide into 4th OF role
    Straw as 5th and pinch runner for late, close spots

    I like:
    LF Brantley
    CF Leon Jake Straw
    RF Tucker

    Now take that Springer money to go get Hand to close and maybe a flier on Paxton as a Strom lotto ticket for rotation depth and let's go take AL West back
