When?
Like recently or in the past before he got his big contract?
Thanks for the info. My first was actually 2004. Also found some gems from 2004, including the Beltran trade: https://texags.com/forums/8/topics/339805/1JJxvi said:
BTW, everybody who has been around long enough will have their first post be from 2007 if you only search this forum. The MLB & Other Baseball forum only started in 2007. My first Astros post was in December of 2003. Prior to 2007 all baseball talk was on what is now the Texas A&M Baseball & Softball board.

Im so sick of watching this garbage. I cant believe we continue to trot out this weak ass lineup year after year. Until guys like Everett, Ausmus, Ensberg, Lane, and even Biggio are gone, I just cant watch this team anymore.
Keep Pence, Lee, Berkman, Oswalt, the bullpen and just start over with the rest of the team.

Not if he was still hitting 60 home runs a year.W said:
yes, Stanton's contract is utterly insane.
would still be due $32 MM in 2023, 2024, and 2025.
then $29 MM in 2026 and $25 MM in 2027.
that would be organizational suicide. Even Carlos Lee would agree
Quote:
- Evan Gattis logged more time at catcher than designated hitter in 2017, but it's very likely to be the other way around next season, Jake Kaplan of the Houston Chronicle reports. The Astros plan to use Gattis almost exclusively at DH (replacing the departed Carlos Beltran) and find a more traditional No. 2 catcher to place behind Brian McCann. Houston could go outside the organization to find McCann's next backup, but the team may like in-house option Max Stassi enough to give him the role, Kaplan relays. Both Stassi and fellow reserve catcher Juan Centeno will be out of options next season, and Kaplan suggests that the Astros will try to keep the latter in the organization by sending him through outright waivers in the coming months.

The Astros are not the Yankees or Red Sox payroll-wise
If we couldn't play an MVP player producing at an MVP level 30 M then we won't stand much a chance winning any more titles after 2019.W said:
it would still be. Can't have one guy making $30 MM year in and year out for that many years. The Astros are not the Yankees or Red Sox payroll-wise
You should start preparing yourself for those 3 guys not all singing long term deals with the Astros.Ag_07 said:W said:

Not now, but if they want any of Altuve, Correa, and Springer around for any amount of time they're going to have to be.
And I expect they eventually will.
We'd lose Springer before there would be any decision on Correa.BowSowy said:
I would love Springer to stay here his whole career but he's the most expendable of the three. If losing Spring means keeping Altuve and Correa, I would be okay with that.
Obviously. But having Springer tied up at a high salary might impact our ability to go big on Correa.Farmer1906 said:We'd lose Springer before there would be any decision on Correa.BowSowy said:

Or letting him go might make Correa think we're no longer committed to winning.BowSowy said:Obviously. But having Springer tied up at a high salary might impact our ability to go big on Correa.Farmer1906 said:We'd lose Springer before there would be any decision on Correa.BowSowy said:

I'd be very surprised if Springer remains with the Astros.
