Front loading is a great approach for any long term contract. Rewards players for the years they are most likely at peak production, takes...
Huge flexibility move and doesn't cost any prospects or draft picks. Also, would be nice if this gives us an inside track on his younger brother....
Hopefully Altuve is getting this all out of his system now. All that matters is his helping the team get back to the playoffs starting Friday.
He might get designated, need a roster spot on the 40 man. Either that or a trade is coming to free up a spot.
Replace Upton with Kemp. Upton is still owed nearly $17MM next year so despite him improving this year, not sure he's a super hot commodity.
Might be the perfect opportunity to use KJ as trade bait to a team with a young PG that's blocked. Other "backups" acquired at the PG spot were...
The Astros don't need to spend just to spend but if they can lower the prospect cost on a trade by taking on more salary, they have the...
Springer because it's easier to find a bat that can play the outfield than it is in the infield, especially an up the middle defender. Still...
Duncan started playing at a high level and stayed that way up until last season. He had a better overall career than most players you'd consider...
Do we find the big boys as a top 5, 10, or 15 payroll? I don't ever expect top 5 but would hope we at least get into the top 10 in the next few...
LOL, I think this has more to do with poor drafting than it does poor coaching. Interesting thought, after drafting Olajuwon, the only players...
The Astros do need to play Reed every day, even against lefties. If you aren't going to put him out to see if he can hack it, then trade him for...
At some point with prospects, it's just damn the torpedos and full speed ahead. Each additional day he spends at Triple A is diminishing value to...
They have the minor league depth to pull it off. The Astros do as well but there aren't really big arms out there worth getting in a bidding war...
This offense can be really difficult to watch at times. Will be sad if we waste two of the best starting performances we have received this year.
If Lopez was ever really a target, it was always going to take a lot of outgoing salaries. I'd rather have DMo on a cheaper contract. But this...
The same could be said for virtually every thread.
This would fit in with what Codman heard about Brook Lopez being a target. He could be obtained via a SnT of DMo if the Nets decided to go in a...
Or Robert Sacre
Making room for Cousins. Cue up the It's Happening gif.
