    With the Hayden addition, we have to retain mlb's greatest pitching coach, Mr. Alejandro.

    I remember how sad I was when we traded Hunter Pence.

    At this point, I'm sure they're probing the Framber market as well.

    Gotta be pragmatic about these things.

    I boycotted the team for the rest of the season but returned just in time for the consecutive 100 losses.

    Would feel better putting Paredes at 1B and resigning Bregman

    Which means he is 25.
    There are 25 year olds on top 100 lists every year. Jacob Melton and Drew Gilbert are 25.
    Had he stayed down there and hit 40 homers, which he was on pace to do, he could have been a fringe top 100 guy on some lists here and there. Or top 125. Most definitely.

    Pence was my favorite Astro at the time. He was in the prime of his career and improving. Berkman was 34 and in decline.

    This would be a huge redemption arc for the past blunders the front office has done.

    The reign upon the AL is over and this such a weird feeling after almost a decade of domination. ****ing sports, why do we do it.

    Using the advanced alien pitching technology we confiscated back in the 2000s, Hayden's era with the Stros will be 2.56

    Any catchy songs with "Hey Dan" in the lyrics?

    If we sign Santander/Teoscar and Bregman, this is a good trade

    Just like how Seattle lost Randy Johnson, Griffey, Arod then set a reg season record for wins?
