Now that’s a deal the Astros definitely should have done.

McCormick is perfectly fine in CF.

Weird comparisons. Do Hoes and Straw even have double digit career homers combined? I don’t know if Meyers will make it or not, but he has some pop. What if I told you Chas had a higher career wRC+ than Benintendi right now? He keeps being underrated-he HAS shown he’s an MLB player, an above average one.

I think Rojas has been the only one to really do anything out of the Greinke deal.

Huge Piece of Shit and alleged Woman Abuser Chris Beard has been hired at Mississippi
You haven't been following this thread, I see. That's in the rearview mirror.

Dave Winfield. That’s basically the list. And he was obviously a much better athlete than Judge.

Omar Narvaez might be worth bringing in.

3/30 is an overpay according to fangraphs projections both in AAV and years (2/16). Of course, the free agent market has gone insane in just the few weeks since that was published. But it seems to me that the Astros are not going to budge from what they think a player should be worth and are content to let others overpay. It’s the sort of thinking that has built the organization, and it’s proved to be wise in the past for competing over a long period of time. The potential danger right now is if EVERYONE is behaving irrationally to the point there are no players left, do you have to play the same game to compete? But they’re in a strong enough position as is they can afford to sit back and wait and see what happens and adjust if needed (or not when/if the competition is saddled with aging, expensive players in a few years).

I haven’t negged anyone since it changed to the middle finger reaction. It just seemed so personal when I’ve always thought of it as directed towards the post. But I’ll make an exception.

So….sounds like he wants to be somewhere else, then.- 2023 Official Astros World Champs Offseason Thread
Yeah, fangraphs had him at about 5/100. So the same AAV, but 8 years is crazy.- 2023 Official Astros World Champs Offseason Thread
Valdez isn’t going to hit free agency until he’s 33 and groundball pitchers age poorly. I think the smart money is to just play it out the next 3 years and let him walk.- 2023 Official Astros World Champs Offseason Thread
He looks good at all 3 OF positions according to both OAA and DRS. And he's serviceable at catcher.- 2023 Official Astros World Champs Offseason Thread
And Varsho has another year of control. I like him better than Reynolds too.- 2023 Official Astros World Champs Offseason Thread
I don’t like gambling on Brantley’s health since we won’t know anything for months, but I understand the argument there to a degree, even if I think there are better options. But I don’t even know what a “very friendly deal” for Gurriel looks like. He’s not going to be the 1B anymore. He’s doesn’t have the range to play all over the infield anymore. He looks washed as a hitter. Unless he wants to move into an off the field role where his leadership skills are still utilized-the only thing he offers of value at this point-it seems like a completely irrational, sentimental waste of a roster spot to me. Maybe if he gets “hurt” in’s spring training and spends the whole year on the IL hanging around the clubhouse…- 2023 Official Astros World Champs Offseason Thread
He’s actually an above average hitter. Has been both years, and improved his approach last season. This team doesn’t need a CF at all, it needs a bat who can play LF/1B/DH.- 2023 Official Astros World Champs Offseason Thread
Yes. Much better to let Lee play than sign a jag like Barnhart.- 2023 Official Astros World Champs Offseason Thread
They shouldn't sign any veteran starters.- 2022-23 MLB offseason thread
How many hitters going into free agency have had their numbers artificially suppressed relative to Judge because they didn’t get to use a juiced ball, potentially costing them millions of dollars?- 2022-23 MLB offseason thread
Why might it matter that a more lively ball-which means more likely to be hit for a home run-was apparently used only in regular season games featuring a guy who happened to be chasing a single season home run record (and who also happens to be playing for the league’s highest profile team)? Hint: it doesn’t have anything to do with the outcome of a particular game.- 2022-23 MLB offseason thread
No. Seemingly for Yankees games in general, particularly towards the end of the season (when he was chasing the record). MLB Used Two Balls Again This Year, and Evidence Points to a Third (insider.com)- 2023 Official Astros World Champs Offseason Thread
4 years at $17/yr is right on the fangraphs crowdsource prediction (and is below what Clemens projected for AAV). If you have been wishing for Contreras, you should know that’s what it’s going to take.- 2023 Official Astros World Champs Offseason Thread
I thought that was his point. *Most* teams do after just a few guys.- 2023 Official Astros World Champs Offseason Thread
Meh. That could be about literally anything. - 2023 Official Astros World Champs Offseason Thread
