    My clients (from Obama to UT@Austin) would strongly disagree with you.

    You're on my ignore list, but I always end up responding to those with limited potential and their heads up Hinch's a$$.

    Yet you saw this post? So, I'm on ignore, yet you cannot resist the opportunity to see what I have to say?

    Whatever you say, Coach. You keep on believing that Reddick is overpaid while every sane Astros fan and I realize that he was a good signing and is no where near overpaid.

    Didn't you dismiss WAR as a "theory"? Oh wait, it suits you in this comparison, so you use it. Also, you did not even know what WAR was 2 days ago.

    You do know that pretending to have clients is not the same as having clients, right?

    I'm sure someone must have mentioned it, but Altuve is insanely underpaid... His contract is terrible considering his production.

    Both sides took a calculated risk. Essentially the Astros bought out his arbitration years. It has worked out great for the Astros thus far. Altuve will get paid well (barring injury) beginning in 2020 or sooner.

    @Coach Flip I'm sure President Obama LOVES the fact that you're advertising his name all over the place as one of your "clients." I know my clients are absolutely giddy when I throw their names around in internet message board fights.

    Honestly though, please keep talking out of your ass. Every time you blast a player, he comes through and makes you look like a dingus.

    I'm sure everyone who follows baseball would agree with me, but delusional astros fans. Certainly the As/dodgers would've kept him if worthy of his salary.

    Pretending? You do know that you have 32,418 posts, but still no life except this BBS.

    Altuve is really good at padding his stats when none on base. He's a specialist at hitting into DPs and LOBs.

    So he's overpaid because of the numbers he put up for those 2 teams? Last I checked, his performance for the Astros, the team paying him, is what determines if he is overpaid or underpaid. You haven't made a statistical based argument yet for your statement that Reddick is overpaid.

    Altuve's 3 year splits (2014 - 2016) with runner's on:

    .334/.390/.489/.879

    This season:

    .298/.375/.476/.851

    So, yeah, he sucks with runners on throughout his career.

    Disrespecting one of the best Astros hitters of all time now, I see. Keep blabbering, dingus.

    You don't follow baseball, why would they even listen to you?
