Disappointing. I guess all eyes on Siri now as the non roster guy to get a big league deal. If he doesn't give us a good reason to give him a shot, Chas by default.

I agree with him

100%

The navy blue and orange color scheme is fantastic. The way they tinkered with the blue & gold and then red/black/gold was a travesty.

If they want to bring back vintage uniforms then they need to make the old school rainbow jerseys a regular part of the rotation.

This uniform is iconic IMHO:





These should be our home Friday night uniforms.

I'd prefer a righty bat, but at this point why not?

Even if Chas gets onto the roster, my guess is Diaz will get most LF duty when the starters need a day off. Robel Garcia or Toro will be the plug in INF reserve on those days. Then we'll re-assess outfield needs in a couple months depending on health and how Straw is doing.

What would be the minimum for Reddick? I thought it varied highly dependent on years in the MLB?

I don't believe so. Min is 570k. Most still get just a little more.

Posting the image only so the people that don't want to give them clicks don't have to. Thought some of their picks were interesting regarding the Astros.

20th anniversary of former Astro Randy Johnson vs a bird.
I know he's a Longhorn, but McConaughey is a trip. Think he's a little nutty, but generally a good guy and is pretty entertaining. I'm a fan.

Wow...what an absolute crock of sh*t and just horses as* way of wording a breakdown. Talk about every complement being back handed and finding the most negative way possible to provide information.

Thanks for posting so none of us provide clicks for that trash

So we had lots of discussion about Straw leading off...but when was the last time he led off a game this spring? Do we think that ship has sailed?

Yes. Dusty changed his tune a few weeks back. It moved on to Correa and Altuve then Correa said he was pretty sure it was going to be Altuve.

According to Heyman, Crane was involved in this one. Seems like the big extensions go through him (Bregman, Verlander, now McCullers).

That is the exact money Madbum got and very similar to what Eovaldi got, but 1 less year. Both turning out to be horrible deals.

Thats what I thought but I also thought a few days ago someone posted an article about him still being a leading candidate.....who cares at the moment I guess though because McCullers just got paid

Wonder if there's any no-trade stuff involved. Either way, Boras is his agent, so he wasn't settling for a low number.

I'm gonna go out on a limb and say this was a deal negotiated by Crane. This doesn't seem in line with our typical front-office M.O.

His AAV goes from 6.5 to 15.25. Spotrac has us with 6 M available in luxury tax space. This would put us about 3 M over. That 3 M is going to be paid out as ~4 M. Every new dollar spent this year will = 1.30 dollars.

Assuming there isn't other finagling being done

Advanced metric didn't back up either deal. MadBum was clearly past his prime and Eovaldi got paid off one hot post season. LMC's metric say he is better than his ERA may indicate. Health is the bigger question, but the Astros must be content he is good to go a year removed from TJ.
