    Of course not. They signed another cheat in Kike Hernandez as well and showed him love too.

    Agreed. Man if that dude just didn't slide into 2nd! Or if we played in the AL and didn't have pitchers hit

    Yep, those nagging injuries he has are starting to happen more frequently. You don't pay an athletic 31 year old, $25 million a year for 5 years.

    Wouldn't it be crazy cruel if Springer goes out for the year and needs surgery to fix his 'problem'?

    I wonder if I would be thinking 'dodged a bullet'? Hmm.

    Feel bad for Georgey. Hope he has a speedy recovery. Also, I need him on fantasy.

    I saw Devo throwing 89 in his appearance the other day. Poor guy.

    What does that mean? I haven’t seen that before.

    Oh well, Devensky was a great Astros player while he was here, and key member of the World Series team.

    I was seeing that Vince Velasquez had not lived up to the hype he had while a prospect for Houston. I remember him consistently projected as a future Ace or a solid #2 guy in a rotation.

    He’s still in Philly, but he’s looked very average per his stats; though I’ll admit, beyond the stats page I haven’t seen him pitch. By I was intrigued, where he was after 5 years in Philly.

    Can't stay healthy.

    Non-injury absence from the team, could be anything from death in the family to...? That designation gives the team the ability to call up a replacement, just like a DL trip would.

    Buzzy McHugh's stand against Buster Olney is incredible. Astros need to make sure the McHughs retire as Astros.

    First in Padres history, they were the only MLB club without one.
