Something we should keep in mind is that the Astros accurately predicted this market, and every decision they’ve made and NOT made has been in...
I feel like Brantley is the easiest plug and play here (assuming health of course). You slot him in as basically your full time DH, playing in...
Yes. You’re trading your #6 pitcher and likely a tier 2 outfielder. He’s a heavy pull hitter, so he should benefit from both the Crawford boxes...
Probably. There might be an interplay between cash/prospects. So if Denver sends $15 million they get zero prospects, $30 million they get some,...
The obvious remaining answer is just to platoon a left handed hitting catcher with Maldy. Narváez or Barnhart. As for centerfield, I’d just role...
Glad we passed on Murphy. Whatever the Astros end up doing, it’s not going to be an overpay. The only team we really need to concern ourselves...
Nothing has changed between now and then, other than spending has gone crazy. So far, nobody has bailed them out.
@Nook has mentioned him. Said the Rockies are trying to unload him and his salary. Also said Rockies would have to include cash/prospects.
IF he can play center, it completely changes everything. like you said, as he ages and guys leave, you can spin him down to 3rd or 1st.
I like it because it’s not a half measure like Benintendi, and if structured correctly, does not impede your ability to make future moves or cost...
Where I’m leaning right now: Trade Bryant $38 million for Whitley Lee 2 lower level prospects Sign Narváez or Barnhart to platoon with Maldy...
Also don’t think there’s anything to worry about with his foot injury. It was plantar fasciitis. I’ve had it….extremely painful but not an...
Interesting. I really like his fit. 1st, 3rd, LF, RF…maybe even CF. Doesn’t just extend your lineup…adds an ELITE bat that can hit RHP and LHP....
no idea. He was pretty outspoken about the sign stealing stuff (a lot of guys were), and he has a full no trade, so who knows how practical this...

Using the Arenado trade as a template for Kris Bryant: Bryant $38 million for Whitley Lee 2 lower level prospects Bryant signed at $20 million...
Man looking at Kris Bryant…the guy has dominated lefties and righties his entire career. If there’s a way to make that deal work, I’m...
Didn’t realize Chas’ splits were that different. Can see logic for platooning his bat, but he’s still young and could improve. Something to note:...
I can understand that, but he does bring something that the vast majority of pre-arbs don’t…he’s a proven commodity. I’ve gone back and forth on...
Benintendi isn’t just a platoon with those guys…he’s also part of a platoon at DH with Yordan, which is a giant hole on your team right now....
