Squirmin' for Yermin

But was fired in 2003. So technically he's right.

Benintendi spent 1.5 years with Grifol. Wonder if that'll have any effect.

I would argue the handling of the rebuild was very good (great trades putting us in position to contend for playoff spots), but the handling of the contention window was tragic.

Hasler staying

weak excuse.

I'll go with the assistant hitting coach from one of these 2 teams.

Who is NBB? What was the twat?

I loooove his skill set. He is exactly what we need. BUT for 120+ million, I am fine passing on him due to his vast injury history.

I'm saying his skillset isn't the problem.

"If he didn't have X injury" doesn't work because he did have it. The guy gets majorly hurt every other year. If we were a team that always had great health then it would be different. But we already have 5+ major contributors as guys you can count on missing 40+ games. I'd prefer to not add another at that outrageous price. $80million? sign me up. But it doesn't look like that where he will be, so I'd spread that money out.

He's been healthy twice in his career though. That's the problem. Not the skillset.

hard fucking pass

Damn it family.

Rodon only cost 40ish million. Not 100.

EDIT: Due to his vast injury history that's about on par with our other core guys.

I'm not sure if he is a guy I'd want at 100 million anyways.

correct

He will be much lower since he hasnt played in a year and the year before that he was not very good. He will be a 1 year deal guy with high incentives.

Abreu makes too much sense for the Astros.

Ahh.. This explains why our drafting has always been dick

There are a lot of arms I'd be happy with.. Though my #1 offseason goals are to address the lineup/defense. I am fine rolling with Cease, Lynn, Giolito and Kopech as 1-4. Then signing some #5 around the 10 million range.

Marlins not hiring Espada is good. He's still my #1.

To be fair, many thought Tony couldn't be worse than Renteria (in terms of managing alineup and staff)... Oh how wrong we were.

You'd have to get a good prospect with him back

ew. Bleday has been a disaster since he was drafted.
