We definitely need to sign one more reliever who will make the roster.DallasAg 94 said:
That fills 3 holes on the O/D side of things.
We also filled 3 holes in the rotation.
All we need now, is about 3 holes filled in the RP group.

Frazier needs to be hitting about 7 or 8. He has two seasons with an .800+ OPS and the last was 2015. He's not some 4 hole savior here. There's a real chance his 2020 season could turn out to be a redo of Asdrubal's 2019 stint with the Rangers.wbt5845 said:

Hope Im wrong about Frazier but I think he's too far past prime

There's no doubt he's past his prime but he's better than what we currently have, provides a great stop gap until Jung is ready, and costs very little compared to other solutions. Love this move all the way around.
He's a career .320 OBP .770 OPS hitter. I wouldn't say he's clearly better than any option we had.
I think he'll be a stable bat + he provides some defensive stability which I think can help other guys lock in offensively whereas I think frequent movement can be a bit of a distraction.
I debated where to put him in that order. Truth is - there's not a classic 4 hitter in that lineup. Except Gallo - who needs to be your 3 hitter.
That's actually a pretty good L/R split - power from both sides too.
While everybody is important, Guzman is a real lynch pin here. If that lineup is to work, him hitting for power in the middle of it is a must.

Puig can still be added as RH 4 hole behind Gallo... pretty sure he played on a 1 yr deal last yr.
Where is this Puig conversation coming from? I don't think I've heard his name connected to the Rangers a single time this offseason
Couldn't happen to a more deserving franchise.
Still pretty weak
Lol wow
Not the only person I've seen with this view. What do you think it should've been? It seems pretty harsh considering precedence.AggieDPT said:

MLB didn't go far enough. NO mention of removing all the trash cans in Minute Maid to prevent this from happening again. Only way to be sure.

Hinch and Luhnow should be banned. Title should be vacated. More picks should be lost.

How about Boston and Cora?
Astro fans probably wouldn't mind a Hinch suspension starting in Game 7 this past WS...

Cora is probably done. The Red Sox are going to fire him and I wouldn't be surprised if he catches a ban
Actually I did see a good point that Luhnow has basically already done most of the offseason legwork this winter and will be reinstated following the 2020 WS so essentially he doesn't miss much if any of the winter tasks for GMs which is an extremely light punishment.Rossko said:Not the only person I've seen with this view.

During both of the Astros World Series runs, they made huge trades at the deadline for both Verlander and Greinke.
We can safely assume that no such trade will be made this year and they probably won't be winning the World Series this year either.
Rockets Titles*
Astros WS**
*MJ out of the league during this time
**Cheating scandal

Once again, the perpetual chip on the shoulder Houston fans have comes out - IT WAS WORTH IT - ok.
At least the Cowboys won 5 with no asterisks.

No sports fans deserve all of this more than Houston. Great two days for the rest of us.
I am pretty sure none of us would actually care at all if we were in the Astros position.
Why couldn't Nelson Cruz play back 20 ft

You can always win another WS, can't erase a history of cheating. No thanks on wanting to trade places with the asstrolls.PatAg said:

I love the "oh noes we just lost the architect of our World Series run".
Yes, the guy who came up with such out-of-the-box thinking as "lets be historically bad for a really long time so we can be good afterward".

Hard to feel bad for guys who get paid millions of dollars to be real life fantasy managers getting fired.
