Bregman, Altuve, Brantley, Gurriel…all contracts extended or resigned. It’s not about retaining great players. It’s solely about whether they are...
What statistics are you using to weigh Neris' production?
Click is in an entirely different era of Astros baseball. Luhnow worked through a complete tear down and used multiple years of 100 loss seasons...
I agree with you that the Astros have the revenue stream to afford one contract in the range of 30-35M seven years from now. That doesn't address...
Look at our projected team salary. We do not have 35M available.
They have 1 more ring that we do in the last 2 decades. They've been very reliable to be a competitive team year in and year out. As far as who...

Even if Meyers never comes back at all, he’s definitely not a prototypical bust. It would just be disappointing. I agree that Neris is about 3...
If we sign a highly paid shortstop, I think it’s very likely to happen after CBA negotiations. The threshold would have to increase. IMO, we are...
The Phillies have been terrible overall. We have loads of examples of pitching other teams ruined that we’ve found to be a gold mine.
