not today but in a year or two 
This is more like the deal that Cam could get today


Rookie second baseman Kristian Campbell and the Boston Red Sox are in agreement on a eight-year, $60 million contract extension that includes two club options, sources tell ESPN. Campbell, 22, is expected to be a franchise cornerstone and is now locked up through 2034.

I’m not seeing the same thing many of you are seeing this roster and lineup are not constructed very well. It’s like we have given up but are not willing to go full rebuild. Aging veterans…. One rookie to keep fans interested it’s kind of lame. 
This doesn’t look like some mastermind GM at work finding diamonds in the rough or one that has unlocked an analytical cheat code. Looks like like lazy ineffective leadership. 
Maybe Brown is a victim of Cranes mistakes and lack of money but damn this could be a really long lackluster season. 


Outside of Cam what has you excited about this years Astros’ team?

Yordan, Altuve, Paredes, Diaz and Walker will all hit for sure. I think Cam will hit. This is so not a concern right now.

I said I’d offer 10/100 today. That’s pretty damn close to 8/60 when you consider the first 6 years are club control and probably only going to pay the player 35M. So, that’s 2 for 25 on FA years for him.  My deal would be about 4/64 for cams FA. I’d obviously do either.

One of the things we talked about on the Pod the other day is how I get excited to see a new guy's stuff and whether or not he misses bats. Wesneski missed a ton of bats yesterday from what I saw. Guys swinging under fastballs. Missing breaking stuff. He threw his first curve ball as a major league pitcher yesterday. He got a K on a swinging strike on a changeup- he did that 1 time all of last year. I think the Astros have found another guy to mad scientist on with his sequencing and offerings. I had hopes for him coming in being a really quality BOR option that pitched like a MOR option and 1 start in that isn't disappointing.

Is this new mattress mack deal that the astros have to win the next 10 after you buy a mattress or just 10 in a row anytime during the season?  Makes a big difference.
