Agreed. That would be an upgrade in CF to say the least.

But no chance of signing Judge.

If he LOVES him he better love spending more than usual to cover up other holes.

I believe that was Altuve's 6th silver slugger award
W

which makes him the all-time silver slugger leader at second base in the American League.

ahead of Alomar, Cano, Soriano, Franco, Whitaker, et al...who won either 4 or 5 in their day

I wouldn't hate having Judge in Houston. It will never happen, though. What will he get as far as a contract goes? It would blow our "structure" with the home grown talent out of the water.

5 o'clock shadow Altuve is 100x better than clean shaven altuve. If there was a stat for this I'd feel very confident im right

I'm assuming we gave JV a QO or has he had already had one?

Already had one

Awesome! They should send you one for your home in addition to the stadium. Our MMP brick is in the HOF alley just before the big mural.



They did!

Bigger "no way in hell..." Houston targeting Judge or the Yankees letting him sign with Houston?

Has anyone found a good site for obtaining a commemorative world series ticket? I ordered one in 17 but don't remember the site. Google isn't helping

He absolutely rakes vs RHP. In a vacuum it would be the perfect addition.

I don't like the idea of sacrificing pitching for a bat like Judge. What did he do in the playoffs?

Astros won the WS because they brought in one shutdown stud after the other in the playoffs. You can upgrade over Diaz and Yuli with much cheaper options and keep your rotation and pen juiced.
I love Texas Aggie sports, but I love Texas A&M more.

Maybe I'm missing something but I don't think anyone is actually suggesting Judge. It's just trolling at this point because everyone know the Astros aren't going to sign a dude to an 8-9 year contract

Part of Judge's problem in the playoffs is he had no real protection in the Yankees lineup and he's swinging for the fences. Imagine him hitting cleanup. Sandwiched between Yordan and Tucker.

That would be erotic. It won't happens but the rest of the league should be worried it might.

Perez got a QO. They should have flipped him last season. He would never have been worth more. Another bad decision by a bad GM.

Perez would have brought them a very nice haul at the deadline... but instead they chose stupidity

Other than signing a Jose Abreu to a 2-$36M deal or similar, maybe up to 2-$40M

I'd be completely fine with rolling with what we have and seeing what we get out of the young players

Korey Lee @ catcher
Yainer Diaz @ 1B

Jake Meyers and Chas as your 3rd/4th OFers...I'm of the believe that Jake will be much better next year


I want to replace Dubon with Hensley on the roster. Also giving Pedro Leon a serious look if he shows early in AAA


In lieu of any major free agent signings, I would like to make another serious run at extending Tucker this offseason

And then focusing at the trade deadline on a big splash to address what we need after 3 months of baseball. I want to go big after whatever is our big missing piece

3/24 feels like a bargain for Montero. I know he's had an up and down career.

I would love to re-sign JV, but 3/120 is a lot of money to tie up in a 40 year old pitcher, especially when you have 6 other high quality starters.

By the score of the game, they in fact did not help the team out
