  1. Spoiler

    I found out today that although Lamarr Hoyt won the Cy Young he was not an All-Star that year. It’s hard to believe that’s happened 17 times with Bret Saberhagen winning 2 Cys without being an All-Star either time.

    GIvien his history, I don't think anyone has faith this time will be different.  It would different if he hadn't of sucked with the Brewers this season.

    If he hadn’t sucked with the Brewers, he wouldn’t be here. If there’s no faith, what was the point of signing him and giving him regular ABs in Sugarland?

    It doesn’t make sense to not give him a shot at this point.

    It's almost like the Machete haters refuse to believe these players when it's been explained many times. Ffs, even Chandler tweeted an aggressive "let me dumb it down for you, stupid" recently in answering the Maldonado vs Diaz question.

    I'm not saying I want Machete over Diaz, I'm just accepting the reality as explained by Astros pitchers and insiders. It is what it is.

    We all understand that the pitchers believe this; however, the Machete haters also believe it’s bullshit. This is why they can’t bring Maldy back next year. It could create team chemistry issues if they bring him back as a true backup to Diaz.

    he's locked up thru 2025 (i think).  if we get to the point where he's hearing offers from multiple teams, we've already fucked this up.

    His agent has already told him what he’s worth on the free agent market. Assuming he stays healthy, it will be a massive amount of $$$.

    re: extending tuck, this move sends the message that says (1) we will still have cash and (2) we are serious about winning every single year. 

    would have to think that matters to tucker, but i guess he doesn’t know anything else. 

    I think the only thing that will matter to Tucker is the amount of guaranteed money and I don’t blame him for that.

  6. So, assuming the prospects are Gilbert and Clifford and the Mets are eating a ton of JV’s salary, does this confirm that Crane has a little bit of a cheap streak?

    If the Astros were willing to pay more in salary, the prospect cost should have decreased. 
     

    Clifford/Gilbert feels steep.

  7. Unless another team puts value on a couple of our surplus OFs, I’m hoping for no deal. I dont think a real difference maker is out there and don’t want to overpay given the Astros lack of prospects.

    I certainly don’t want to trade Gilbert for post-season Verlander.
