There's a guy that seems to overachieve every year for the Astros, why not Jake.

Because we have 1400 ABs over 6 years that says he's below average.

Is it? He's going to lose ABs to Tucker & Kemp.
He already had his. It was 2017.JABQ04 said:Farmer1906 said:JABQ04 said:

Yes it is. This is his year to be the anomaly.

With Jake's offensive emergence, I have to think Luhnow called Boras and rescinded his offer to Harper. And with Jake patrolling CF all season (too good to keep out of the lineup everyday), Springer can move RF full time, which paves the path to deal Reddick and save another $13 million that we can use for help at the deadline. And with Tucker in left and Jake in center, crazy to think that Springer is now our worst offensive outfielder.
Don't be mad you completely forget we signed a former All Star to a 2 year, 32 M dollar deal.Deluxe said:
How dare you

Cole's reaction here is interesting. I don't want to read too much into it, but I'm going to guess he's not all that into the idea of resigning before free agency.
I wouldn't be offended by it. He lives and grew up there.Wiggletrace said:dmtoney said:

On Collin McHugh's podcast (which is great, btw), it sounds incredibly obvious that Cole's preference is to be in SoCal.
That makes sense if you are average Joe with a 5-figure salary in TX vs. CA and the state tax and cost of living make a significant change in what your lifestyle can be, but Cole already makes more in a season than most of us will in a lifetime and he's in line to double that in a couple of years. Cost of living & taxes won't change his life even a little bit. You can't blame him for wanting to be near family and friends and when you're in that tax bracket the Southern California teams are easily in the top 10 of best MLB cities to live in regardless of where you're from.Mr.Bond said:
I'll never understand wanting to give away a ginormous chunk of your salary by playing in California
