Can you name all the players they got the last time they did this: Pence Bourne Oswalt Berkman Lee Lidge Brown and Yordan have far more value...
Not sure I'm seeing the "aggregate" replacement of 2015 Altuve though. Do they have a 200 innings/year Cy young award winning pitcher though?...
Who's the 2015 Altuve and 2015 Keuchel in these mythical rosters? We've already admitted no Springer. Hell, who's the 2015 Chris Carter, lol....
He also fired the wrong ones he hired earlier. Stromm came in 2014 and he still remains his best hire overall, both in terms of impact and...
Exactly. Altuve/Springer/Keuchel already being here before Luhnow is even hired was imperative to getting this team to winning in 2015. Then add...
They eventually introduced all of that... and none of that's really gone away, but more teams probably utilizing so competitive advantages are...
See above, wasn't mentioning any of what was to come... just pointing out what was already here before he got here, and it wasn't chump change....
You're so jaded to even see what's being discussed. Luhnow was a god here and we'd be in a much better position with him still here. I was one...
Re-tooled? Care for specifics? People out there thinking GM’s are legitimately coaching these guys up? Both players also pre-dated the eventual...

Houston is a vanilla sports market. There’s nobody that’s going to put pressure on its sports teams’ owners.
Bagwell still says pretty good things… if you hadn’t fallen asleep due to the monotone cadence… but his insight always does add value and puts...
Plus at the very least, swing/miss stuff tends to play up in the bullpen.
If you’re not willing or able to throw strikes, don’t take the mound.
Do they buy better scouts and minor league coaches to? (Serious question, not trying to be facetious…). The Rays also still seem to have the...
Yes, no arguments there. (until I read another post suggesting to trade Yordan or Pena to the Yankees or Dodgers... for boat-loads of "can't...
Agreed and by no means am I trying to mitigate the severe penalties of losing those picks in 2020-2021. The rest of those were 'choices' to make...
Agreed. And the more we discuss this, the more it seems like we're saying the same thing. I don't fault the player for taking the deal that...
That Kevin guy has any red flags? Seems like he would be at least something to be excited about? (Granted, I dont recall his last name… just...
