I'd give him a 4 year deal and hope he does what Brantley is doing with consistency.

He's only missed 7 combined games over the last 4 seasons so it's not like he has injury issues. And he's coming off 3 straight silver sluggers

He's already rejected a 5/135. He wants 6/200.

I think he's a very very good player who should age well, but I'm not 30 mil a year for ages 35, 36, 37.

If money is close he'd pick ATL so NYY is going to have to go over the top $ or years wise.

Can be like Boston and flash lights at the hitters

I think NYY wants to go all in this year and next while they still have guys like Judge/Torres cheap. So likely they are willing to overpay for Freeman if he can give them 3 years of what he's been doing.

Their window is shrinking fast so if they want to win now they need a hitter like Freeman who actually makes consistent contact.

FanGraphs released its 2022 projected standings. What do you guys think? pic.twitter.com/VGyZ92eEiI

I dont think 91 wins would get best record in the AL. But I think 93-69 is my prediction without Correa. 6th straight ALCS as well

You have the pants to back that up?

the Yankees are in a bit of a pinch if they're trying to stay within the luxury tax.

Judge should double his salary in arbitration...from $10 MM to probably $20 MM...and then he's a free agent after the 2022 season.

not sure how NYY would have room for both Correa and Freeman.

the LeMahieu contract is a killer -- a huge overreaction to one great year

you know looking at those projections...and the April schedule...

it seems like the Astros would be one of the teams that would benefit from a delayed start to the season.

the 'stros have 15 games scheduled in April vs. teams projected to finish 1st or 2nd in their division.

only 4 of those games in the month of May

I'm thinking if it is a shortened season, it would actually benefit JV a lot. Also Jake Meyers could be healthy for opening day if it gets pushed back.

Dusty is going to fix that for 2022

Honor the past, celebrate the present, embrace the future.

I applied. Anyone else?

Feels like just yesterday it was the 50 year anniversary.

Wonder if those patches will be worn on hats/jerseys all season

Caps and jersey sleeves all year.

Looks like a Dallas Keuchel patch

one of my best friends dad has done it for the Astros since they moved from the dome. It's his position they are hiring. pretty neat gig.

At least I know he isn't doing it this year.....may be multiple spots

Gotta sell every bit of merchandise you can every chance you get.

What were the hours like? Any idea? Trying to figure out if I could swing it with a full time job

highly doubt it, but possible. I want to say their are a handful of guys who kinda rotate throughout the year in case of conflicts, or what have you. The guy I know basically worked from home on his own hours, and was free whenever (terrible home life, ended up divorcing, etc.) He worked probably 75% of all Astros games, plus College Classic and whatever else was played at the field.

Always neat to see him stick his head through the scoreboard and see him watch the game. He made the comment it wasn't what it was all cracked up to be. Honestly, I think he did it more to get out of the house and away from his ex wife as much as possible.

Fair enough. I'm a single dude so I have some time on my hands. Considered bartending or something to pick up some extra cash. Figured this could be cool.

"Wanna come score behind the scoreboard?"

A small rearrangement there is even...yeah. Wont go there.

That would be good for the NL.

Looking for some good Astro road trips. It looks like we will make a trip in May to either Nationals or Red Sox, then June to the Yankees and possibly the Tuesday Mets game and probably Mariners in July.
