    That’s my point; Houston has not made very many trades like this.  In fact I can’t think of a time they traded away one of their 5-10 best prospects for a replacement level player on a free agent level salary.

    If this is the only move they make like this it’s probably no big deal.  I just don’t want to see 2-3 more moves where they give up significant prospect capital for players with almost no actual surplus value because the shit adds up.

    The Astros have a different plan at catcher revolving around Diaz, and JR Towles was not in those plans. My bad, Korey Lee, not Towles. I get them confused.

    I said it was a good get earlier but that was before I heard Lee. I’m not sure we got enough value. I was thinking a package with Lee would get us a top starter or bat.

    We need to trade Meyers for a reliever. Or pain relief Tylenol. He gives me a headache.

    I don't think anyone wants Jake Meyers.. I would love to trade him for Shohei, so does my 9 year old who did it on the Playstation yesterday. But he's going to be a throw in at best.

    Verlander talk heating up now that Mets traded Robertson

    He is going somewhere, but has a no trade clause so pretty much gets to decide on the spot

    Is there any way we could have Verlander for the remainder of the season then give him to the Rangers for the playoffs?

    Yall know whose fault all this is right?

    Everything was fine til Dusty called for the HBP then it went to shit

    This. Bullshit move by whoever called that. If it was Dusty, then fuck him. That kind of shit is for teams that dont contend for the playoffs..

    I think Yordan is too stiff to play first.  He doesn't have the quick twitch it requires.  He must have been absolutely awful at it because iirc, they only tried it in the minors for a handful of games.

    He's a great athlete with decent speed and a great arm.. We have all seen him play a solid LF.. But 1B is a difficult and specialized position at this level, just like any other spot in the infield.

    Plus you don't have to worry about having to replace him defensively in a close and late situation. Yordan really hampered everything by his inability to play 1B. Which is just crazy to me.

    1B is a much more difficult position than people give it credit for.

    I'm dreaming of the day when Dusty's lineup includes Maldonado, Kessinger, and Hensley.  You know it's going to happen.

    When we have clinched the West with a week left in the season, I'll allow it.

    Diaz is a good hitting catcher. He is not a good hitting DH yet. Put Maldys ass on the bench, Diaz at catcher and get a real DH. Profit.

    This is where I like the Luis Robert trade. Yordan will DH and Diaz will catch..

    Well that was fucking stupid lol. I thought it was a ROY who won MVP that same season and knew the number was low (which its 2...couldn't think of them) so just guessed a random ass old dude.

    Oh come to find out it is anyone who won ROY and MVP during their career.

    Fail

    Nice job remembering Roland Schitt played for the Braves before the Rangers..

    Have we ever trotted out a worse 7-8-9 batting order? And I'm including the old NL days with pitchers batting. 

    Yes. Everett-Ausmus-pitcher

    What we have now is murderers row compared to that.
