Dang… I think giving him the 2 year deal with a 1 year opt out would be perfect.
Snell came with the loss of draft pick and probably 10 more million AAV.
José Urquidy won’t throw “for a while,” Joe Espada said. Urquidy is expected to speak later today. Grae Kessinger (hamstring) came in sore today and will have “no activity for a few days,” Espada said.

Astros optioned Trey Cabbage and David Hensley to Triple-A; Stroman, McDonald and Suero re-assigned to Minor League camp.

“If you’re still in camp, you have a shot of making this team. That’s how I see it,” Joe Espada said today. https://t.co/iRIYU04BfW

I'd be very ok with this. Give Loperfido a shot and see how he does.texasaggie2015 said:
Hensley being sent down the day after the Kessinger injury makes me wonder if it's Loperfido time. I guess Dubon could play that role and Julks could make the roster as well.

You know you are old when you have no clue what these songs are. And only a vague clue who sings them.bearkatag15 said:Astros closer Josh Hader has narrowed his ninth-inning walk-out song options to three choices. He's going to make the decision, but he wants to see what the fans think should be his song. What say you?

Fireman is the best one on the list

NEW: Scott Boras railed against Harry Marino’s attempted ouster of MLBPA leadership, saying Marino had undertaken a “coup” that should “never be done.”

Marino shot back that Boras' support of Tony Clark was "alarming," and insinuated Boras is slippinghttps://t.co/J3u0F3faeR

Is Singleton going to make the opening day roster? I always pull for him but if he doesn't does the front office take a look at possibly signing Brandon Belt?

José Urquidy said he’s hopeful he can resume throwing next week after a break of 10-15 days. He said his MRI showed inflammation but no issues with his elbow ligament.

Urquidy said he has inflammation in his forearm and hopes to resume throwing in 10-15 days. The ligament is fine.

I'm going on a limb and say, "Maldy will more than double his career steal total this year and swipe 5 bags!"The Porkchop Express said:
Maldy heat check: currently batting .083 in spring training with 1 home run and a STOLEN BASE.
You know where I stand. I will always put Jose in the 5th spot until you start sliding Brown and France down for someone better than them.Farmer1906 said:
Great news. We should be at around full strength minus the deadline duo. I think Blanco may steal Jose's job as 5th starter. Then again I really liked what Urquidy was working on this offseason.

You bite your tongue sir. This post will age horribly when Blanco goes 4-0 in April with a 1 handle ERA.
It will never happen!Deluxe said:The Porkchop Express said:
Every time Espada makes a tactical error, I'm going to explain how Dusty would have done it better.
You could also explain how Maldy would have called a better pitch every time an opposing player hits a dinger while Diaz is catching

I wasn't disparaging the fine gentleman. I was just curious if I was correct in him earning a spot over Bielak or Spaghetti. I'm sure this will now spur positive comments in their defense.
Ok, this adopt a player thing might not have been the best idea...
