Is Jeter not getting drafted by Houston the biggest "What if?" in Astros' history?

Also I hope he's not jinxing us.

*Edit: Greinke getting pulled by Hinch in Game 7 is probably tops but besides that.

The biggest what if in Astros history is what if JR didn't have a stroke. Hands down. He was a sure fire hall of Famer. It altered the course of the franchise for 15 years.

Abreu is doing a good job as the cleanup hitter

Oh yeah. Houston likely wins the title in '80 with JR. RIP.

My guess on the trade front is we end up with someone from the NL central. - Jordan Montgomery from the cardinals or Kyle Hendricks from the cubs. Honestly I could see flaherty or smly as targets as well even though both have been a mess this year.

The Astros have to make multiple moves and they all don't need to be splashes. We need a backend of the rotation guy or two that can simply eat innings and not give up a 7 spot doing so.

IMO the bigger what if is just if Greinke didn't come out for the 7th at all and Cole started the inning.
Greinke 6 shutout, Cole gets the 7-8th, Osuna to close it out

Also a painful "what if" … does that 2015 team pull off a Nationals type Cinderella run if we don't blow the Royals series?

He also hit 14 jacks and batted over .400 in only 55 games. Pretty absurd, even if it was MAC baseball.

Here are some "what ifs" that we were on the GOOD side of

- what if Altuve had just gone home from the tryout like they told him to
- what if Aiken had signed in 2014, and we didn't have the draft pick to get Bregman
- what if the Dodgers realized what they had in Yordan
- what if last year's lock out ended up canceling the 2022 season like some thought it would

It's easy to find what ifs that did not go away, but we have had a few that really did go our way

What if the Indians didn't want Straw.

What if the trade for Bryce Harper gets approved and he joins us in 2018?

We all know it's a crapshoot but it's not far fetched to say it was reasonable to think we could've gone back to back to back champs in 17-19.

Or if we had a manager who wasn't stupid enough to play Straw every day…..

One other thing on Jeron Williams, he hit one of his HRs off Joe Whitman, who went 69th overall to the Giants. Only one game but good to see he can do it against an elite pitching prospect.

I'll give you a what if it mess with your mind.

If we don't have Fiers in 2017 do we get through July?

Yes, but just because of the rest of the division sucked. We end up finishing 21 games ahead of LAA.

Basically we're going to steal some kids from returning for their SR year and/or making it to campus at the last second with 125Ks.

Pull for him to lose in the first round with 2 homers to not inflate the price anymore!
I love Texas Aggie sports, but I love Texas A&M more.
