That's because Harper was a phenom as a teenager. He's younger than Bryant and has three more seasons under his belt than Bryant.

Yeah it is ironic.
I just hate second guessing baseball drafts. With so many prospects and rounds any team can through and identify players they shouldn't have passed on. It's too easy to do.

What's that have to do with anything? Harper got more attention pre draft is my point. But both were very comparable in regards to tools at the time of their respective drafts

I also think we're a favorite by just adding Encarnacion and rolling with the rotation we've got.
The rotation we have is not good enough.

Even if we win a WS or two in the next three years?
Exactly. Arms like sale don't just happen.
I posted this earlier, but I'll post it again. Assuming we're in a seven-game series, what helps you more, Bregman in the lineup or Sale starting two games?
And keep in mind, with Sale, you bump someone else out of the playoff rotation. So which looks like the better playoff rotation?
Sale x 2
McCullers x 2
Keuchel x 2
McHugh x 1
or
McCullers x 2
Keuchel x 2
McHugh x 2
Morton/Fiers/Musgrove x1

I like where your head is at.
I like the potential rotation, but I'd feel sick if we gave up Springer AND Bregman AND more prospects. I'm torn on this one (and leaning toward not getting Sale).
Battered Houston Fan Syndrome...it's real and I have it just like you do.Mr.Bond said:
Mark my words, we will forever recognize the day we trade bregman as a day of infamy for the city of Houston. It will outweigh letting schilling, Lofton, abreu etc go. As a life long Houstonian, I've seen it before. I'm going to be physically ill if we trade him
This is what i'm against. That is just WAY too much to be giving up. Just my opinion.Gramercy Riffs said:

That would have never happened. We would not have drafted Kris Bryant, then Carlos Correa, and still drafted Bregman.Mr.Bond said:mazag08 said:
Wanna hit your head against the wall?
We are talking about trading Springer, Bregman, and / or a bevy of prospects for a guy that we could have drafted, but we instead drafted Delino Deshields.
Don't get me started on Kris Bryant too.... . God could you imagine that infield?!? Put bregman or Bryant at 1B....... Jesus tap dancing Christ
Is yuli going to give him #10
Hmm....

I believe you're thinking of Cowboys fans
When's the last time you went to an Astros game?
Messsicans are Dodgers fans.

Straight off of Google translate
According to sources, @Encadwin would be close to signing with @LosAstros. Team has not confirmed. Http://atmlb.com/NuCLVw

Looks like it down to Houston & New York for Edwin.
Goodbye Springer?
