You would be taking a gamble on Brown's ability to draft guys who develop quickly. That's what he's known for. There's also several international guys flying under the radar that I expect to be big time players in the big leagues. Kenni Gomez, Luis Baez just to name a couple.

I remember when we dealt for Greinke we all cringed at what we gave up. None of those guys ever really did anything in the majors. You just never know, and if you have an opportunity to win it all, you do it.


Speaking of Luis Baez….

Is it weird to me that I value guys like him, Clifford, Diaz, and Gomez over guys like Gilbert, Melton, and Barber?
It's only weird if you don't explain your reasoning?

btw, I'm not knocking your opinion...but what makes them more valuable in your eyes?
Why I do need to do it when Deluxe got me covered?

You and Dana Brown would get along. Maybe he'll meet us at Refuge.

What makes any of their ceilings higher than Gilbert's, though?

Tampa Bay

Home 35-16
Away 25-24


Astros with a 25-22 home record sums up the difference with those teams.
I love Texas Aggie sports, but I love Texas A&M more.

TB by month

March/Apr 23-6 (.793)
May 17-12 (.586)
June 17-10 (.630)
July 3-12 (.200)

since June 10th 13-21 (.382) .... that is a 100-loss pace for over 20% of the season.

Not a lot. It's me going with my gut based on tidbits, scouting reports, stats, highlights, etc. If they shared baseball savant type data publically then we'd be able to better judge.

It's because he's read what I've said here about Gomez and Baez and he understands I'm never wrong about anything

Well, if the Astros trade Dubon for Anderson and he plays 2B with Altuve being DH, I guess that's fine.

A little different contract and age situation. Plus we're not exactly sellers.

He's a low risk, high reward option. He probably doesn't make sense for us but he might for say Mariners.

This.

I love TA and I'd love to have him. Speed, attitude, and the ability to slap the ball around situationally.

A change of scenery could be huge for Anderson. Playing for defending WS champs and a winning culture could be key for him turning things around.

The culture in that organization and clubhouse is toxic. There's so much young talent on that team. I truly believe if Luis Robert gets out of there he'll end up being a top 10 player in baseball for a few years.

You say that but are you sure the guys we are discussing aren't part of the reason that clubhouse is so bad? It has to be somebody's contribution. There have been plenty of reports on Robert specifically lollygagging.

That's a fair question. I think this team could handle someone who maybe doesn't have the best attitude and show them how championships are won. The locker room has legends and seasoned vets like Altuve, Bregman, Abreu, Brantley, Maldonado, Pressly, & McCullers. They're not going to let some newcomer come in and ruin things. If anything, I wouldn't be shocked if a young star would welcome some leadership.

I also trust Dana Brown and company to do their part in the vetting process.

Dana: I like Pena.

Dusty: He's got an ugly girlfriend. Ugly girlfriend means no confidence. Have you seen her? She's a 6. At best.

I'm guessing average OPS of about .600?

Starting at Hensley in the 8 hole, we have an OPS sequence of

.383
.539
.683
.669

And let's not forget Abreu at .644

It's like we are trying to lose on purpose.
