The case for Cody.

Relatively cheap
Only a 1 year deal(low risk)
Can play a very good OF and 1B
High ceiling reclamation project
Lefty

Like Gallo, he'd be way down the list for me but he might need to get creative if we blow our FA budget on JV.


This is what I said a few pages back. He plays 1B and OF. The move almost makes too much sense. Imagine if the Astros signed him and fixed him.

Low risk, high reward.

so what dollar amount are we talking about?

1 year at $10 million ?

if the contract is over $10 MM...the phrase 'low risk' does not apply

How MAD will the baseball world be if we sign Bellinger and he starts raking. It would almost be worth the tears alone.

No thanks. Bellinger is one of leading whiners about cheating. He can try to resurrect his career in Arlington or Oakland.

Interestingly enough, someone on MLB network made the argument that if he's going to sign a one year deal, it might behoove him to sign with a bottom dweller to improve and show his value, then get traded at the deadline. That way, whoever trades for him can't attach a QO to him and he could get a long term deal without the draft compensation attached (should he return to form). If he signs with a contender, then they can put the QO on him after the season which slightly suppresses his market.

Astros need to make a 2 year 30 mil offer but he has to make a public apology to the organization at a signing press conference.

That's gonna be a no from me, dawg. 2 year 8M, maybe.

And we would (and should) still boo him mercilessly.

Exactly...and we know he just recently raked in the playoffs against high quality and leverage pitching.

2022 Playoff Yuli got results. It's unlikely he would continue to get results if he hit like he did in the playoffs for a whole season unless he could keep the impossibly low K%.

I actually think our locker room is so strong it would have a positive impact on bellinger. Not advocating it, but just saying.

He's not coming to any team in Texas. Weed isn't legal.

What Yuli needs (if he's back) is more off days. There were huge splits in the positive direction when he had 1+ days of rest.

Add me to the hell no list on Bellinger. I said the same thing about Bauer when some on this board wanted him (before legal issues)

Our locker room has amazing chemistry right now… want to ruin it by bringing in a known Astros hater and outspoken anti-Astros player? Go for it

Bellinger on The Show…. Meh, but in reality, forget it. I do like the chance at a rebound, but not for him. Not for us.

During the WS some people said they would trade multiple winless seasons by the Aggies for the Astros winning. I'll admit I'm relieved that there was no one talking about free agents for the past four hours.

Before the game…I agreed to one 10 game losing streak for Astros for an Aggie victory. Sorry.

Why the **** would you trade a ten game losing streak for one aggie football victory that doesn't even make the team bowl eligible?

I'd trade A&M getting the death penalty in football for a World Series three-peat.

This intrigues me. I'm sure not questioning your right, and the people who starred your post, to feel this way. But I'm curious. Do you just not like football, or do you not feel any special allegiance to A&M?

I'll admit, I would trade never winning another Meat Judging Championship for an Astros three-peat. But football?
