January 28, 201610 yr Author QUOTE (BlackSox13 @ Jan 28, 2016 -> 11:16 AM) The Astros can have Fister and his 86mph fasball. No thank you to Fister. Why was his velocity so bad last year? Was he injured or something? If he has arm problems that I don't know about, then I'm happy that the Sox passed up on him.
January 28, 201610 yr Brian McTaggart @brianmctaggart 7m7 minutes ago Astros rotation options: Keuchel (20-8, 2.48) McHugh (19-7, 3.89) McCullers (6-7, 3.22) Fister Fiers (7-10, 3.69) Feldman (5-5, 3.90) That's pretty solid I'd say

Wow.

If he has arm problems that I don't know about, then I'm happy that the Sox passed up on him. Fister had a flexor strain that that is suspected to be the cause of his down season and velo drop. Who knows, maybe he's healthy now but imo, not worth the risk for a team like the Sox.

January 28, 201610 yr QUOTE (Y2JImmy0 @ Jan 28, 2016 -> 12:53 PM) Should change the thread title to Fister in the Astro I barely knew him!
January 28, 201610 yr Is his deal guaranteed? I would've extended a minor league deal w/a spring training invite to him, but that's about it. Too many unanswered questions regarding his velocity dip to give him a big league deal.
February 11, 201610 yr Author The Latos deal is even more of a steal once I remembered what Fister got.
