I'd like to think we could outbid SD, especially since Moores is supposedly in some financial hot water. Boston, on the other hand, would...
I don't need to know 3 teams that are bidding for Kent. If it's a top-tier FA, I'm not betting on the Astros to sign him. If history means anything.
Or another reason why Houston is being used ala Roger Clemens.
LMAO. He's right, too.
Exactly. Not to mention that Kent would be closer to his off-season ranch, if he came to Houston. We got used by Clemens, in the same fashion 4...
I know that. To restate what I think, I don't know if they are willing to get into a bidding war with anyone. If there are 2 or 3 other serious...
Because would anyone feel "desperate" to keep Kent away from the Devil Rays or some other crappy team? No... A lot of times signings are done...
And those other teams would vehemently deny it. I don't doubt the Astros have inquired. What I question is if they are willing to win a bidding...
Yes he would. This would go towards making other teams get into a bidding war with the Astros, real bid or not.
Maybe... But Ward still has a lot more upside than Payton. Right now, they are both 4th OF quality. I don't think Payton will be able to be worthy...
Going back to the original point of this thread (not having to do with Doran, or McLane), I am 50/50 to signing Kent. Kent is supposedly a...
#2-4 could happen. I'd bank on Miller being solid year-round, and being one of the top #2 pitchers in the MLB. Reynolds is up there in age, so I'm...
Ah yes, the ultimate "grasping of straws" the old "Were you even alive???" question. Yes, I was alive to see him play. In fact, he was one of...
Well they are a winning team RIGHT NOW, right? McLane didn't do anything, other than hire Hunsicker to aid in the "winning" cause. I love how you...
Payton has never struck me as a guy that you want starting 150+ games a year. If you have to rely on him to start everyday, then you're in trouble.
That doesn't say how good/great Doran was. It just speaks volumes about the lack of quality 2Bs.
Wow. It's funny how SPECULATION on Kent has fooled you into thinking that McLane has done everything he can to win. At the moment, we are an...
Boston will never trade Damon. He is their 1st leadoff hitter they have had in their 100+ year history. I don't really see Boston as being a good...
Maybe... but at the same time, 1 key FA signing every 10 years (you have to go back to Drabek and Swindell) doesn't exactly exorcise all past...
It's too early to say they will or they won't. I will be happy with 45 wins, but that might not be enough to reach the playoffs. This team can...
