Yes, but your suggestion was that those “potential” years were some kind of negative. The only way they vest is if the Astros think it’s a good deal. So your comment was either disingenuous or just flat out wrong.
Bart was really good last year, offensively. Has a .343 OB% this year. I'm guessing - if true - it signals we're offering or being asked for one of our catchers in a deal.
Did you miss the part where I said he is on pace for 46 RBIs in 500 ABs? His OPS+ is 92. His WAR is 0.1. He costs $33 million against the luxury tax. He's been trending in the wrong direction for years. For the love of all that is holy what do y'all think you'll be getting with Correa? A chance to pose for another picture alongside Altuve so we can laugh at the height difference?
SPs are coming back but at what quality, and you could short circuit the ramp up period if they decide Garcia belongs in the pen. Javier is still inefficient, but at least can get outs after seeing him yesterday.
Of course not, but Diaz is untouchable for a rental in my opinion. I don’t think Brown is going to trade Diaz, especially as he looks to be getting hot. Caratini is a great backup catcher and if he is needed as part of a package to improve our lineup or pitching it is no big deal, especially if you get Bart.
Nah, I don't agree everything Yordan says but he's a big Astros fan and is on here daily. Apache Warrior is a troll that has ventured over from the GARM...I don't think he even follows baseball closely.
Yainer has been poo poo this year . Sure he's got some power , but i hate his approach . If we get bart and keep caratini , C will still be a good position for us and bart might help us wear out opposing pitchers more and boasts an OBP about 60 points higher than yainer
I think that they would use Bart in particular match ups, plus he is someone that the Astros have been linked to in the past. Someone with the Astros thinks that he can hit.
If we land Bart then something is up - Diaz or Carintini are gone. How’s Yanek looking? Can he be a legit guy for us?
Mason Miller and JP Sears to the Padres Edit: MLB Pipeline #3 overall prospect in baseball being moved to the As lol
Holy ****! The Twins kept Larnach out yesterday and I assume that’s why. That’s crazy and not a reasonable ask from Crane to have them eat half the contract and include a good player. Very very stupid of them to let this narrative get out there without the deal being done.
I am getting a lot of push back in private messages and from friends of mine that are Astros fans about the Astros strongly targeting another starting pitcher that can start in the playoffs. I'll just say that Javier did not look good yesterday, Garcia hasn't pitched in literally years - McCullers is toast and there are no guarantees that Arrighetti will find the strike zone when he gets back. Most of these guys will be pen pieces.
