    That's a real gut punch. Since JBJ is out, here's to Profar!

    I don't think that tweet says JBJ is out. I took it as Houston intersted and if Boston loses him, it would be a gut punch to them(especially for their young rotation).

    Has Gammons ever been right about anything Astros related?

    What's he wrong about in his tweet? Reports indicate Astros are interested.

    No idea although his tweet was stating the obvious. It was already reported that the Astros were interested and it would make sense to go after the 2nd best CF after Springer. And yes, obviously Boston would miss his defense. You or I could have tweeted the same thing haha

    Come on. It was a joke...(mostly).

    Gammons, regarding Astros, seems to be a spokesman for an agent trying to create an illusion of interest in one of the agent's clients.

    Agree. We need to sign him now or trade him. Our window is closed without Springer so there's no reason to drag this out to the trade deadline if we can hit it big now either with a signing or a trade.

    Please don't bring him in here. He ruins every thread he participates in

    I've been actively trying to stay away from the Stros. Sunday didn't work.

    eta: OK either I have the "ignore list" wrong or things are very strange in the Stros Forum.

    Easier said then done. We've all been there. Probably the Macallan talking (got into it myself).

    I'm yet to figure it out myself so I don't bother

    They gave up Miguel Padilla, an 18 year old DSL prospect. Hadn’t heard anything about him. Although always scary to give up those teenagers.

    Astros acquired Velazquez at the deadline; they just finally gave up the PBTNL and completed the trade
