Dylan Howard @ Winston-Salem: 5 IP, 2 H, ER, 2 BB, 6 K A nice Asheville debut for Howard, who was the Astros' 8th-round pick out of Radford in last year's draft.
I don’t know man- it’s easy to say that someone wouldn’t but that’s a lot of money to turn down. If Matthew’s started striking out 15% or less or something like that in triple A I might think about it. Alvarez someday? Maybe.
2-3 years from now Neyens or Alvarez might be in that position. I wouldn’t expect Neyens to accept that. A ton of these kids, especially the ones who were highly drafted, have so much confidence in themselves. As long as there are guys getting $700M, $600M, $300M every offseason, they think they can get it too.
