    Rasmus is what he is? A decent outfielder.

    You have a chance to unload some farm for a better version in Bruce.

    His last 30 games suggest he is a 300 hitter/360 OBP guy.

    Not too bad.

    Told him I need to reschedule for 4PM. Every time he walks by I hit Esc and two Excel spreadsheets pop up. I'm busy!

    If you are going to get Kimbrel, then take on his entire agreement and give them one good prospect. That's a win win kind of deal.

    When's the last time the Astros forum had the most viewers? Currently 336 vs 224 for the GARM and 116 for the Hangout. Has it ever happened before?

    Benoit would be a great fallback option if the other stuff doesn't materialize. I'd be pleased with any sort of RP addition.

    Jay Bruce is not a .300 hitter lmfao. You must have been a carter enabler. .250ish his entire career, hits 300 for 30 games ".300 hitter" LOL

    Appel + Kemp + low level would be my guess. And I would be perfectly content with it.

    If we are getting controllable pieces, give up whatever we need.

    For a rental, I would agree

    Having said that, doubt Reed would be in a Cincy deal they have Votto locked up until the middle of the century

    Bruce is very streaky. Which means he'd probably fit right in lol

    Anyone who plays SS, 2B, OF in minors is available pretty much. Way it gotta be...
