Tucker was mentioned in trade rumors for Chris Sale, JT Realemunto, Thor, and others. A lot of people wanted JT.
Wasn't that trade before 2019 season? Thought poster was talking about in 2019. My apologies

Feel free to flame away, but is Bellinger worth kicking tires on as a reclamation project? He can play 1B....

He's a ***** that is not needed in the clubhouse IMO.
2019 Hinch decision or not. I just have to tip my hat to freakin Howie Kendrick. That was an insane swing of the bat. It sucks but that's baseball.

Kendrick hit a pitcher's pitch. I'm not even mad Will Harris. Kendrick had a hell of a swing and barreled it.

Maybe bring released will humble him. I think there could be value there. If he is 75% of what he was in his MVP year, he could be a nice addition.
Absolutely true.

That makes more sense for a team like Oakland. He can play there everyday and it not matter. If he figures it out they have a trade asset. If not, they continue to lose.

That's a good point, Watch him end up on the Rangers.
As the Astros thread expert on Tucker vs. Realmuto, what are your thoughts post-WS?
Not asking in any sort of "trash talk" way. Genuinely curious.

I can still hear the clank of that ball hitting the foul pole and flipping that game, series and season 180 degrees in a split second.
He would be a great fit as a part time role or potential platoon bat. His o-swing% is way up over his last few years meaning he's chasing out of the zone a lot. Wouldn't shock me at all to see a change of scenary and voices coaching him totally make him have a renaissance.agproducer said:3B Paul 97 said:agproducer said:

His price is going to be very high
That's a "how can you not be romantic baseball" moment for people who aren't Astros fans.Deluxe said:irish pete ag06 said:

A long, grizzled vet delivering the swing of his life in game 7 of the WS to win a ring.

Imo, anyone who made comments like this would wind up being a clubhouse cancer. So no to judge, bellinger

How often do players have the kind of early success Bellinger had, then completely fall off a cliff for multiple years, and THEN regain their success?
I do not want a player like him, and as always, he can EAD

Astros CF prosect Pedro Leon hit his 2nd homer of the Puerto Rican Winter League season tonight.
— Michael Schwab (@michaelschwab13) November 19, 2022
In 4 games, he's batting .333 with 2 homers and an OPS of 1.055
His manager in the PR is Astros hitting coach Alex Cintron.
Has anyone even seen Josh Bell's name connected to the Astros? I would think he'd be a real target, but I've seen nothing. I think I'd rather have him than an overpriced Jose Abreu.

I would bet money that he is not even on the radar. You don't get to trash players like that and still end up on their team.
**** no to Bellinger. Why don't we bring in Joe Kelly while we're at it?

I'd be pissed if i was a Twins fan. Their unis were great, and those are *****
I think their best uni was and still is the white with large Twins script. They're replacing script Minnesota with a new (better?) font. They did ditch the TC interlocking one. I kind of liked those. Reminds me of the 90s when the Astros just had the star on the one side.
100% agree the M hat is the worst.
I like the new unis. Everything but the "M" hats is pretty sharp but those hats are garbage.
I'm also a sucker for their retro powder-blue v-neck jerseys.
So, it's apparent we all sold our Aggie football souls for the WS ring the year.
No regrets.
No regrets.

A buddy and me are to blame.
If it cost ten winless Ag seasons it was worth it
What will be higher. The average Astros 2022 runs per game, or Aggie football win total
Astros run average: 4.54
My vote is Astros
Astros run average: 4.54

I've stopped watching Aggie Football. Wake me up for Spring Training.

I assume 8 years then?
That's a low ball we don't want to offer you what you want but we have to make you an offer isn't it?
If it's 8 years, it's $42M per year. I don't know that it's that much of a low-ball.Ag_07 said:

If it's an 8 year contract that's $42-$43M per year. That seems like a legit offer.

Depends on the years. At 8 years it's $42MMper. At 7 it's $48MMper.
He's almost 31 right now. I'm guessing it's an 8 or 9 year deal. If 9 years, that's between what I expected the per year amount to be, between $35MM and $49Mm. If 8, a little higher than I would have expected.
