March 11, 20232 yr Are we talking best value? Most cumulative impact? Most immediate impact? I would nominate Charlie Morton. He put up probably $60M worth of value in his 2 seasons and I don’t think the stros win that WS without him.

I forgot about him bc he wasn’t even an all star and wasn’t here for all that long but totally to both.
March 11, 20232 yr Tie. Drabek and Swindell. serious answer though is Nolan Ryan, Moises Alou, Yuli and Brantley are probably the Mt Rushmore. Rank them how you want. the astros traded for moises alou.

March 11, 20232 yr 1 hour ago, patrickdrinksbeer said: the astros traded for moises alou. I thought that too, but was assuming I mis-remembered, like Andy Pettite. The trades the Astros have made have been usually pretty solid, Joe Morgan and Kenny Lofton not withstanding. Realized we missed Pettite and Jeff Kent. Both pretty damn good signings. Same for Roger. Hmmm, makes me rethink the list. Nolan is still 1 though
March 11, 20232 yr Finished that fucker's book last night (checked out from library). It's a good read full of juicy details behind the scenes but his entire anti-Astro thesis was permanently neutered when Yordan turned the game upside down that Saturday night in November.
March 11, 20232 yr maton came in for a scoreless inning with a k. i know we give him a lot of shit, and much of it is earned, but is there a better rp6/rp7 on any team in mlb? i trust pressly, abreu, stanek, montero, neris more than him. maybe seth martinez too. bullpen is stacked.

March 12, 20232 yr Dominican manager should have asked Dusty about batting Jeremy 2nd and that wouldn't have happened.
March 12, 20232 yr Garcia knows out to pitch Peña seen him swing at that down and away slider a few times

You should trust Seth Martinez more against RHH at least.
