  1. Present day value on his contract is 32M. With taxes and stuff like that it’s only a slight upgrade at essentially 6/180. Comes with downside risk. Alex just wasn’t well that interested in being here. It’s his right. Bums me out a bit that he felt that way, but I’m not sad he didn’t sign with us for 6/160 or 165 or whatever our final offer was after they said they upped it a little bit.
  2. he’s so little. And didn’t do kick returns- but in the nfl with those goofy new kick rules that might help him.
  3. I think we missed out on Correa. I would have taken him on any of the deals he actually signed with the twins. His body not getting through a physical cost him 160M.
  4. He got a lot of deferred money. Present value is like 90M. he ain’t making much more money than if he’d have done the Astros deal. Maybe less.
  5. I’m going to be waaaaay more right than wrong. Not likely to get 16 but that was always way more possibility than probability. I’ve been calling for 13 plus since mid year and bet we get there. My final list: Quinn, Gunner, Blue, Majors, Banks, Williams, Connor, Bond, Golden, Broughton, Sorrell, Collins, Makuba, Barron, 14 be my guess. 25% chance or less: Gbenda, Holmes, Bolden. 15 with a little luck. edit to add- I didn’t see the combine list. Basically all my guesses hit the combine. Ha. Less people are invited to combine than are drafted so anyone invited would be more likely than not to be selected.
  6. I don’t see where the glut of inventory will come from unless we get lower rates. I think that might bring in an even greater number of buyers though so doubt that it helps pricing (from a buyer perspective) and think it’s more likely to hurt.
  7. That’s the joke. Well, part of the joke.
  8. You misspelled Forest Whitley.
  9. Ditto. So dumb with the 0.7 bound from top to bottom. Sure Jan.
  10. In the long enough term we are all dead.
  11. Ha. I fat fingered it. I was like what is he talking about- that’s just his career ops against LHP and then I saw the damn typo. 760 ops is like 120 ops plus. Thats 1/3 of the AB’s in the platoon. Blended with Gamel against RHP that would be about a 730 combined platoon out of the position which is the 110 ops plus I was talking about.
  12. Va also has a rehab loan that’s basically the same as the fha.
  13. People mock gamel by the move is fine for 1.2M. Career 730 ops against RHP. Meyers career 860 against lhp. Combined in a strict platoon they should be a 110 ops guy. That sets an acceptable floor cheaply and doesn’t preclude you from anything else more important.
  14. Fangraphs sucks. Losers.
  15. I had a Sunday school group where like 8 of the 10 couples bought a house over a 5 year period. I did none of their loans. The teacher was my wife’s doctor. She stopped going to him once we joined that class. Some things aren’t super comfortable being mixed in some relationships. Cool for you on that!
  16. As a mortgage guy I have no problem with it. I know all your finances if you do a mortgage with me and that can be awkward for a friend. I imagine the argument is somewhat the same for an agent. That's actually sort of dumb b/c everyone knows what you bought or sold your house for (more or less) without knowing your financial stance, but that's a distinction not many probably make.
  17. Episode 90 of breathing orange fire is up. We talk about nothing at the beginning to mirror the nothing going on in Astros World right now and then talk hall of fame class. https://open.spotify.com/episode/1aJ6i5oeWh6FDGd0QkkZON?si=aoTEGrfiS-m_CgQ1S6_5UQ
  18. He’s just incomprehensible bad.
  19. Yep. Also they will count every shift you pick up as a separate job probably…
  20. Not sure if this is our best game if the year but it’s by far the best I’ve seen us look. LSU must suck. I think we are going 9-9 and getting a 7 or 8 seed btw- after the last 3 or 4 games that’s been my feel.
  21. Depends on when we are talking about them. I don’t think Roseanne would have ever been a would for me. Rosie O at one point could have gotten it.
  22. They overstated by double and that’s after they revised downward 2X. Its absurd. I have no idea why you persist in talking about my post about the mbs market since inauguration. As should have been obvious when I started the sentence with incredibly small sample size and then further obvious when I had a follow up post saying I wasn’t making any definitive statement other than Mr marching band isn’t even a half wit and should probably let the grown ups talk, it’s odd that you are making substantive long cat posts responding back to me mocking Mr matching band- after Phil also slightly more delicately told him he was a window licking moron with his post as well.
