Canha kills left handed pitching. Could platoon at first and/or kick Chas to the freaking curb in an OF platoon. Won’t cost a lot. Hope Dana is kicking the tires. 

Otherwise I hope we are listening to offers on Bregman and combine whatever prospects he can bring back with our own to make a deal on Paredes. Get younger, cheaper and cover a corner spot for next couple years and keep this train somewhat on the tracks. We could be 12 games under .500 with or without Bregman at the end of August if we don’t get significant help. Tucker, Altuve, Yordan, Diaz, Pena, Paredes is a good 2/3 of an order for next year or longer if we can sign Tucker.  Pitching gets healthy and find another outfielder and we are still team to beat in West for a couple more years. I know it’s kind of radical but I just hate to see another piece walk away for nothing unless we win it all. I just don’t see us getting the help in the next week.

Serious question: why do you think we have a chance at signing Kyle Tucker?

I don’t know that we do or don’t. None of us do. But I’d go all in this winter to try. If not then trade him too. But we have to stop letting everyone leave for nothing. Better to trade them a year too soon than too late.

Do you think he'd sign a six year deal?

I think it depends on the AAV and what he’s offered. I think there is beginning to be some blowback for teams with these long contracts and may not be as many willing to go there. But that’s a 300 million dollar question.

No he won't sign a 6 year deal. 

Astros should offer him 10/300 and if he doesn't want that figure he's never coming back and plan accordingly.

Do you have any reason to think they will?

Not particularly. If they were ever going to do it it would make sense that it would be for him.  I don't think they are ever going to do it.

Nice Chas! Trade value!

Its' possible Chas hasn't lost the ability to play baseball over the last offseason at 28 or 29 years old and this is just a prolonged slump and a lousy 150 AB's.  If I was the Rays or someone like that I'd definitely be interested in him.

In the 202 ABs outside of his extreme lucky month of May, the GG winning team MVP is now at .193/.251/.366/.617 with 54 Ks. His OPS now stands at .709, remember just a few days ago WBT was championing his .750 OPS.

This is who the GG team MVP has always been, a shitty player.

Miss going to games there. Dump of a stadium, but some of the best selection of craft beers available. 

Will be worth it to get to go to an Astros game during a Vegas trip.

Great great day, just like going to a Home game but a little longer Uber 

Did you commit a smash-and-grab and poop in the streets while you were in Oakland?

Go on.

2 years, 80 games

2.79 ERA  0.972 Whip  10SO/9

for a team desperate for arms he’s at least a cheap arm that may help. He may suck coming back but we are in the bargain hunting mode. If we are judging based off a HR to Pena we can go ahead and cut Pressley, Abreu and Hader too.
