    Lifelong Astros diehard here, but I might have to find a new team with a less annoying fanbase.  I'd have been much more pissed at keeping Tucker and letting him walk for nothing this offseason t

Fangraphs sucks. Losers. 

They probably didn't know we got Ben Gamel.

Whoops. Little late on that joke.

People mock gamel by the move is fine for 1.2M. Career 730 ops against RHP. Meyers career 860 against lhp. Combined in a strict platoon they should be a 110 ops guy. That sets an acceptable floor cheaply and doesn’t preclude you from anything else more important. 

you need to bring Meyers down .100....he may have had over .800 OPS in high school 

 

If it were between Gamel and Heyward, I would have rather had Heyward for a few million more

The platoon thing doesn't work perfectly, though.  Zaudi went crazy with that with the Giants, but two incomplete players don't Voltron into a good player.  I agree Gamel is fine for 1.2. 

It gives the manager more decisions to make and that's not always a good thing.

Espada showed this past year that he is willing to alter the batting order whenever the starters change, so I think it will be fine. No more Dubon leading off when Altuve sits a game, and I expect to see a good amount of Dubon at 2b this year. 

He's definitely in a position to dig in.  It's totally gonna work out for him.

I have no interest in doing the dishes today, but I bet they get done.

Fangraphs released projected playoff odds today.  Gross.

I hear the cold makes things smaller.

Maybe the "ICE BOX" letters will be bigger.

Ha. I fat fingered it. I was like what is he talking about- that’s just his career ops against LHP and then I saw the damn typo. 760 ops is like 120 ops plus. Thats 1/3 of the AB’s in the platoon. Blended with Gamel against RHP that would be about a 730 combined platoon out of the position which is the 110 ops plus I was talking about.

in the long term, we're better off without him 

In the long enough term we are all dead. 

The offer made is more than fair for a player who doesn’t show up for the first half of the season.

This is it...6 years, $156 million with a $13 billion bonus if he lives to 131.

Present value of the bonus is $100 million.  Everyone is happy.

We’re all day to day. However, that negotiation seems dead.
