  1. One of the quotes said something along the lines of it's easy to take advantage of the Astros because Crane is really running the show. Yet, so far at least, the Astros have been prudent in the contracts they've signed. The Abreu and Montero deals look great based on what we've seen this market do. The Cubs, who I assume have GM, just gave Cody Bellinger $17.5 million for fuck sake, and the Yankees are going to pay Judge $40M for his age 39 season when he'll probably be pushing 325 pounds and barely able to get out of the batter's box. That said, this could all turn into a complete shit show if Crane surrounds himself with guys who share Bagwell's view on analytics, but that's not what we've seen thus far.
  2. Have to assume they’d want one of Garcia or Urquidy to headline the deal. I’m not so sure I’d be willing to trade starting pitching at this point. We’ll likely need each of our top six during the season.
  3. Is JV the best pitcher in franchise history? The counting stats will favor Oswalt, Dieker, and Nolan, but I think there's a strong argument that, even with the relatively short tenure, JV is the best.
  4. Nothing would make me happier than getting Varsho for a package that includes Maton. JV to the Mets per his brother:
  5. Didn't they do one about Bartman? I liked that one.
  6. This is the dude who makes hype videos. You have likely seen some in this thread. My guess is it has something to do with that and not that he has any inside info about a FO hire.
  7. The biggest problem with that, imo, is you likely won't know whether he's truly healthy and can meaningfully contribute until the spring.
  8. Fine for the club house. Concerning for the FO. Hopefully Crane is smart about when he chooses to listen to Bagwell.
  9. IIRC, Duty's hesitation had more to do with not wanting to bring in a guy in a contract year who was used to starting and have him fill the backup catcher role. With Yordan playing more LF, there should be plenty of starts for Contreras between C and DH.
