    Well....... we know a few things...... the Astros didn't really like Straw that much.......they love their CF in SL...... they don't give a **** about what conventional logic is. They dealt away their starting CF with 10 minutes lefr.

    Maybe the Straw/Maton deal isn't really hapenning?

    The Astros player evaluation and player development people have proven they know what they are doing..... if they aren't concerned, then I am not concerned.... there is someone in AAA that has a better glove, has power and a better bat..

    I'm giving click the benefit of the doubt considering he built the Rays on a shoe string budget, but it's weird AF.

    He has a better track record than Tillman and son

    Nah this can't be it, I'm confused as all hell folks. There's gotta be another deal bringing in a CF about to be announced. Cameron Maybin????

    I would rather have Jake Meyers called up playing in CF than McCormick playing everyday. Astros need players that put the ball in play more than striking out.

    I don't like this. I would rather have Straw on the bench as a pinch runner/defensive replacement in the playoffs over another 4 plus era reliever....

    Alright then. Didn't we win game 5 of the world series in 2017 with a fast base runner? Straw was that guy? What did we get for him? A less funny Biagini?

    We’re also getting a catching prospect as well. But still kind a downer to trade straw although I think Meyers will do great. He should be fine defensively. Hope he can hit HR against other teams beside Orioles.

    I would rather have Straw still here than a guy with a 4.5 era

    I wonder if we pulled a LAD/SD move on SF for Bryant?
