Yuli OPS in AAA is .716 this season so far... which is more than 500 points higher than Abreu's OPS in AAA.
Bringing one of those two back AND signing Hader would have been a better decision And actually Maton is the one I didn't understand. Dude was solid, and it took 6 million to sign him. I think when it's all said and done, the Hader contract will be looked at as a good one
The Rick Ankiel documentary is playing on MLB streaming: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt11096478/ Peak Ankiel as a pitcher and hitter could have been a poor man's Ohtani...
Former Astros in current top 100 in fwar: Position players: 44. OF Wilyer Abreu 51. SS Carlos Correa 52. 3B Josh Rojas 67. OF Teoscar Hernandez 95. IF Abraham Toro Pitchers: 85. Patrick Sandoval
I think we could have still won in 2017 if we didn't package Teoscar with Aoki for Francisco Liriano. That's the only player we lost here where I feel we didn't get a return that was worth it...
Sandoval's been pretty much an average nobody, but at the time I was saying "why the hell are you trading this kid for that guy" The others (not CC) are just guys, whether they turned out good or not.
