The Astros are notoriously stingy with their prospects. Hope they have what it takes.

The rebuild has only begun. I hope they pawn off Abreu and more players for prospects. Get em out of here! Rick Hahn is god!

You must not be very educated on advanced defensive metrics. Save me some time and go do some research on fangraphs. Alexei was an above average defender at the hardest fielding position to play outside of catcher. It seems it is more you being blinded by his occasional blunders, not me being blinded by his dazzling plays.

Gunnar Troutwine with a dinger in his 1st at bat. Yeah baby.

Lenyn Sosa at 3b again. Really hope he can still play SS in the organization's eyes

Alexei was a GG caliber shortstop and a very good player in his prime. Care to elaborate on the dumb dumb comment? Has anybody ever though that maybe SS is a freaking hard position to play, and there will just be more errors/mental lapses due to the difficulty of the position? Also, not sure about the Viciedo comment. Didn't strike me as a dumb guy. He just stunk.

I wasn't aware that sarcasm was a foreign language here. I meant to imply that WBSFBSB's comment was idiotic.

If he was a good GM he would have been honest and deemed them busts at the seminar. What a joke of a GM.

I hope sosa is still slated as a SS. Worries me seeing him at 3rd. I'm sure it's nothing though

LOL

Considering we have WAYYYY too much starting pitching, we could dump Abreu for prospects and then trade our PLETHORA of starting pitching for a truly elite 1B/DH

Want some cheese with your whine bro?

Good catch man. I can't help but think of all the success the cubs have had with international prospects. Obviously this guy isn't a big signing like some of their guys, but he's balling. Those international signings are a crapshoot. Maybe we got the lucky side of the crapshoot

Jose Rodriguez 3-4 with a 2B. This guy is looking legit... Somebody mentioned him yesterday in the minor league thread. Only 17 years old and plays SS.Hitting .413 in 11 games so far.

I'm still not sure how you don't understand the concept of trading pieces during a rebuild. Covey is under control for 5 more years I believe? You truly are Forrest Gump

???

Would you like to apologize to Joakim Soria?

Hats off to you Mr. Abreu. Awesome play.

Mr. Hahn, if you a reading this, I am willing to provide my scouting abilities to your team. It won't come at a cheap price however. Feel free to message me any time from 9 am to 5 pm. Don't lowball me.

Regardless, I think Caulfield deserves more credit. He is all over the place sometimes but he puts together long, well thought out posts pretty often. I think he is a very valuable poster to have. I always enjoy his posts late at night when nobody else is posting.

They could be using proxies. My money is that WBWSF is marty, though

Greg must have been absolutely appalled when his hero Ozzie called Jay mariotti a terrible 3 letter slur for a homosexual

I strongly prefer he be dealt. No half assing the rebuild. Get rid of.him for the right deal.

Bernardo Flores is having a solid year in a hitters park (i believe?) while not being a SO pitcher. I wonder if he earns a promotion to AA soon.

I started the Covey thread, and he is proving my observation/prediction correct. Covey has been wheeling and dealing
