2025 - 2026 Astros Offseason Thread
Getting a number two without having to trade anyone for it is huge. What about Matthews, Cole, and Arrighetti, blubaugh or Ullola for Brendan Donovan? That team wouldn’t have any jokes at all 1-9 in the lineup. Except maybe Meyers in CF but he should be average to a little bad. Which is fine for a defense first CF hitting 9th. If we throw JP France above Ullola I will commit a homicide.

What if arch goes down? At a certain point you just need to trust your stars are going to stay healthy or it’s not your year. You can’t be all conference at every position on the two deep.

Sure. But not top of the chart and that’s not breaking the bank. Feels like 10M ought to make us all happy. If Wingo goes I know he’s got a big price tag so if you get Coleman you use his money to sign 2 additional Mosley types. If 10M is a problem then strip off all the guys at 2nd string making anything of importance and get a bunch of 5th year dudes from the sun belt. Tell them you will pay them in pussy. Pussy for life if they win it all.

Cool. 2.2 for Coleman, 1.2 for Baugh, 2M for the 3 IOL total, 1M for a safety and 750k for a linebacker and you have the best players at all those positions in the portal. Sign pluggers everywhere else you need a body and you just imported 7 draft picks, have talent everywhere you need it and you are good. We have lots of money coming off the books with Wisner, Moore, Hill, manny, and a couple other guys. Arch makes a ton in real NIL and apparently isn’t greedy. This should be an all in year. If you have to take money from everyone else that doesn’t project for our top 32 players do it now and worry about 27 in 27. Need to win the title this year. I know those numbers aren’t exact but they are likely close.

I’m at the point where there are about 12 guys I’d be legitimately bothered to see leave and everyone else is imminently replaceable.

He’s not WR1 on a title winning team. We absolutely need Coleman. It’s blindingly obvious.

Or we could wait to see joe it all plays out. Pretty sure it’s going to be really good, but hey, maybe it’s a shit Sandwhich to go with all the bread we are going to collect.

Because sometime the first offer might be the best offer. Happens in FA in all the major sports all the time. Ask any baseball player still looking for work right now if he wishes he might have taken a first offer somewhere. At some point in time a team moves onto guys that are willing to sign bc they have to fill a need and then the guy who didn’t sign isn’t in a bidding war but sees his number go down as more teams fill up. That’s not always what happens but it could happen and that’s why guys will sign right away.

Parker Livingstone definitely did. I think that's the only guy you can argue for. And Matthew Caldwell. He threw like 10 passes and had 1 run and it was all fucking awesome.

More than who plays and who doesn’t would be probably how much effort they put into game planning. With 1 seed in play probably a lot. Too jumbled to start prep early on likely playoff opponent.

Then NE probably tries in the hopes the Broncos lose? Or maybe they play in the first half and scoreboard watch to see what’s going on in Denver at the same time.

Will it though? Broncos have a game against the chargers who should be resting everybody as they probably want to lose and play the winner of Steelers and ravens. Broncos have tie break so Nee England is likely 2 seed. They might rest a whole bunch of dudes after locking up division. Or, maybe not. Always interesting to see who tries and who doesn’t in last week of year.

It’s not though. The vast vast vast majority of guys that are on D1 scholarship will only ever make money in the game teaching and coaching it. For Texas? Sure. For most other schools though it is about the school. Decoupling makes sense if we go to 30 teams in their own league, but if you decouple it from the university who exactly will pay the freight or care? The minute they facade falls the system collapses from a revenue perspective.

I mean, these are allegedly college kids and most colleges start school around January 17, so their hands are sort of tied.

Worked for JT Sanders too in the sense that he was designated athlete, but I’d srgue that’s different because he was an athlete bc he had 2 positional fits that were clean- one on offense and one on defense and a fist fight over who got him in their room. That’s different than the “this guy is athletic but we don’t know that he has any traits where he’s going to succeed guy”. Also- a problem with “athlete” in today’s CFB world is when those guys do develop it often comes late. When guys aren’t on a clear track now it seems they are bigger portal risks. I’d guess in the new world you don’t have many guys stay for year 3 and 4 that haven’t made a decent sized impact on the field by year two. The clock starts ticking earlier than it ever has on guys now.

I meant dude without a position trying to figure out where to play on offense. Not doppelgänger.

Transfer Cycle 2025-2026 - Shit In One Hand, Hope In the Other, Tell Us Which One Fills Up Faster
We have the same dude. He’s named Michael Terry. I’m generally skeptical of “athlete”. Doesn’t mean it never works, but it’s probably a higher than average bust rate.

Sometimes failure teaches lessons. He was coming off 2 times in a row of making the final four. Now that he’s failed he might redesign the process. Total trust? No. Feel like it’s trending in a positive direction? Yes. 3 weeks and we will know. Really probably 10 days will tell the tale.

Sure. We can’t see anything other than not throwing dumb money at jags right now. Glad to nail step one.

I mean, yeah. This offseason we can see if he’s going to get to Saban and Meyer type levels or not. I maintain that if he doesn’t it will probably fall apart eventually and probably sooner than you think bc it’s hard to be really good for a long time without winning it all- things tend to stagnate and then you have a Penn State with Franklin moment coming, but what he’s done right now through 5 years absolutely is just fine under any reasonable standard.

Honestly? I don’t think so. I think it’s best player/ceiling available with Dana, we just happened to pick high enough this year that that dude didn’t have awful swing and miss to him.

Ok. I will go back to being happy then of you haven’t reviewed the plan and view it to suck. Bobby and the other 9.95 guys seem to be talking like the plan is to let anyone not key and awesome fuck off and recruit over them in the portal, which I like. If they’ve misread the tea leaves that’s obviously a disaster bc you are losing floor setters right now. You can’t pay for floor setters and expect to win it all though, imo. “Maxwell” never looked good. That was a bad spend from the word go.
