    I think a Power Lefty Pitcher that can take both Lefties and Righties is needed.

    Maybe the Astros can find one.

    Josh Hader being traded really made me sad. I knew he can be a Great Pitcher. Throwing 96 mph in Corpus Christi and having a low Era with a bunch of Strikeouts than Walks.

    2 big losses were JD Martinez while on a Rookie Deal and Josh Hader.

    Astros easily would've won 2 more World Series Championships.

    And that's saying a LOT.

    Because James has been a tragedy in the playoffs.

    Why he's still an Astro is beyond me.

    Because he’s got great stuff, movement, velocity and from what’s been reported as of late he’s got more control after tweaking his mechanics. If Strom thought it was hopeless you’d be right but the guy has talent.

    Hader was traded 7 years ago. JD was cut 8 years ago.

    I'd get the hell over it. They ain't walking through that door.

    You missed your calling then. The Astros should hire you ASAP given your talent projection abilities.
