Take a look at Kolby Allard pitching numbers.

-Owner isn't afraid to open his wallet
-They just made the WS
-They have a strong lineup already
-Most players don't actually live in the cities of the teams they play for

All star break. They were so clearly not in a tier of their own at that point.

I think Turner lives in Florida. Rumor was he wanted to get back to the east coast. Philadelphia isn't that close to Florida but it's closer that LA.

Assuming Harper is good to go, Philly will be pretty good next year. Adding a guy of this caliber would be great for them. It would suck for the Mets and Braves.

My burning question this off season is, do I un-ignore all the people who made ridiculously anti-Astro posts that I put on ignore during the post-season run?

Yes. It will keep you ready to win it again and rub it in their faces!

Playoffs are like a month long festivus. Everyone is done airing their grievances. Set them free. I think we all had our moments at one time or another. Mine was game 3 of the world series.

A majority were only on for the playoffs. Give it a week and they will fade off of the off-season thread and won't be there early next season.

Anything that ****s on the Yankees I'm all about

I'll also add the doyers and filthys to that list.
No matter what!

What would it take for Verlander to go in as an Astro?

2 more years and another World Series and I'm considering calling him and asking him what he wants to do.

Close calls like that should go to the player. Just do it behind the scenes.

The NL east is about to get crazy.

I could see them having a legit arms race where Judge, turner, Verlander and every other BSD end up in that division.

That Phillies 1-5 or 1-6 (depending on Castellanos) would be terrifying with Turner.

I can agree with this. I've been saying he's a lock as a Tiger, but a couple more and maybe things chance in the Halls eyes. Why not let him have a say if it's close.

He has more WS wins as a pitcher, more WS trophy's, about to have more Cy Young's and an ALCS MVP trophy… he's done all of that in 3.2 seasons… 1/4 of his time in Detroit… he's already deserving to go in as an Astro

This is from an article about Jim Thome going to the hall

The cap decision is made by the Hall of Fame's senior staff and research team. "They'll look at a player's career numbers and look at the impact, and quite honestly, it's usually a no-brainer," Idelson told ESPN. "Then we have a conversation with the player, because we wouldn't do something unilaterally."

Same article noted that Gary Carter wanted to go in as a Met, but was overruled and went in as an Expo.

if Nolan Ryan went in as a Ranger, which is BS - should have gone in as an Angel because of his dominant years in the 70s, then Verlander should go in as an Astro.
