    Going through old pics because of the death of my grandmother / mom and came across this -- 1996, my son's first Astros game.

Resign Verlander and sign Josh Bell - then the Astros go back to back

Congrats Stros. Hell of a franchise y'all got there. I hope we can make it to that level someday. 

It made a bunch of people very happy at the bar that I'm at and that made me smile. 

We need to keep you cocksuckers from winning more of em now.

resign - verlander, brantley, yuli. extend tucker and as many young players as possible.

make no moves until the trading deadline.

bring back dusty and espada

Wonder if they make room for Hunter Brown this off season or it's Javier and Odorizzi all over again

yes, in the BP. this starting rotation is damn tough to break into 

I think Crane’s alleged plan to move on from Click and maybe Dusty had been put on the back burner. 

CHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

CHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

MUTHAFUCKAS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

verlander wants a shot at 300 wins, astros and dodges give him the best shot at that. astros give him the best shot at another ring

You misunderstand. They should try to resign Verlander. The other 2 should be sent down the road with genuine thanks.

resign them all. best clubhouse in mlb. back fill with leon / diaz / julks / minor league player

i wouldn't make a move until the trade deadline to bring in someone new 

I literally love Michael Brantley and La Pina but it’s time to move on. We need to lengthen the lineup again and need to find more production out of 1B/DH.

Give no fucks and sign Judge, Verlander and Correa as DH.  Give no fucks.

Then put them on staff if they are willing to retire and stick around. That sort of thinking leads to stagnation. Those positions can and should be upgraded.

not before we extend the young players.

the roster as is and healthy (minue mancini and vazquez) is the best team in baseball. every team needs to get much better to compete

tell me this, who's a better than brantley that we should sign ?

I love this offseason stuff. we all look at things differently, all have players we like on other teams.

can't wait until opening day

Aaron Judge.

That’s impossible to answer without knowing how healthy he is. That plus his age is kind of the issue.

if we resign our own, keep this team mostly together and EXTEND tucker, I wouldn't make a move until the trade deadline 

LMJ may have struggled, but that man can get you pumped the fuck up

Getting rid of Click for Stearns will make the Astros Death Star even more invincible.

4 rookies on the roster tonight ?

pena, hensley, brown, lee. martinez would have been on it if we didnt have smith

If Yuli doesn't come back is Rizzo a possibility? I have no clue what kind of contract he would demand. Also I assume some team is going to overpay for Montero.

I can't find the tweet, but Crane told a houston reporter : My first call tomorrow is to see what Verlander wants to do.

Sign. We have pitching depth, go get an OF with multiple years of team control that fits in with the current window. I mean we are emotional right now, but the Astros need to move on from Gurriel, Brantley, Mancini, and a few others. There is no need to waste money on those guys when we develop stars on reg. That allows us to extend our stars and keep the window open.

 

Since the turn of the century the Cardinals have had 16 playoff appearances in 23 years and a 2-2 record in the WS. You go on a run like that by making hard choices and developing your players.
