Yeah Astros have more than enough talent to be just 1 year wonders. Altuve, Spring and Correa are too goo. Bullpen is strong.
Keuchel is just pitching like ass. And Gomez has been shit at the plate.
I don't like this for the Angels. Trade a guarantee (which happens to be the best player in baseball) for a bunch of question marks.
I'd imagine that if this does actually happen, some other teams will join the pursuit and really drive the price up (Dodgers and Bosox)
Had to give Pedroia the day off, which I agree with. However, Holt should have played second and Young in left (although McHugh was on the mound and Young doesn't hit righties well).
It's a toss up between Harper and Trout for me. Looking at contracts, I take Trout since Harper has his arbitration years and then is a free agent. Trout is locked in.
There's no need for expansion. Just move the teams that are dependent on revenue sharing to Quebec, Vegas, Seattle etc.
Just admit your failure at this point Bettman with these markets that are struggling to survive. It's a sunk cost.
Rusney is that bad tho. He's hitting like 250 in AAA. The only value a team can see in him is a late game defensive replacement.
Really though all this team needs is another pitcher. Porcello and Wright have been excellent. Price looked great tonight and once the results come, he should be...
Rusney has negative value. The dude barely has the bat speed for a 90 mph fastball. The only way Rusney gets moved with Swihart is if an equally bad contract is coming back (he's still owed like 55 million)
Rusney won't get us jackshit, but I'm really hoping we package Swihart. Dude just isn't good enough behind the plate (Vazquez is crazy good defensively and at calling games). Plus Swihart has been learning left field and we don't need outfielders. Really hope the crew is showcasing him in...
Guess I'll post this here, can we also get new athletes on the top banner? Change it up from like Lebron, Brees, Ronda and Walt Jr. I assume if anyone has the psd, it shouldn't be too long of a switch.
