https://twitter.com/brianmctaggart/status/692805390010986497 lol so they go into the offseason with a massive hole at first base and a need to upgrade at third and possibly catcher and the only thing they do is release their starting 1B because he makes too much money, trade away their utility guy who could definitely start at either 3B or 1B because he makes too much money, and sign Doug Fister Oh and trade away their backup catcher for cash Woof

Harlock posted:I thought everyone is expecting AJ Reed to be the 1B some point during the season It'd be nice and I hope he does get called up and does well but they'll definitely play the service time game with him at the very least. If he struggles and Singleton continues to be disappointing it could be the Tyler White show or maybe even Valbuena at first with Marwin Gonzalez as the starting 3B which... oof

I must be going insane cause I don't remember what other two free agents the Astros have signed besides Fister Are they including retained FAs? Then it would be Rasmus and Sipp

CubsWoo posted:The Cubs would probably do well re-signing him but that also means finding someone who will take Soler for a #3-4 starter or thereabouts. Even with guys like Wood/Cahill/Warren who can be stretched if Hammel is still broken and Hendricks is meh, getting Heyward in his natural position and not forcing him to be flanked by two defensive black holes for most of the season could be worth losing Soler's potential. Soler for Scott Feldman, do it

I saw that part but figured I was just being immature, I mean there are circles around where the bases go Also kinda looks like one in the infield grass between first base and the mound e: oh that's a hose

LeftistMuslimObama posted:I just don't understand what's to hate about A-Rod, unless it's literally just "did steroids". I get it if Yankees fans slightly resent him for "got a huge contract, then was maybe not literally the god zeus in baseballman form", but all the guy's ever done is mash baseballs and be a huge, handsome weirdo. That's usually a recipe for fan love rather than virulent hatred. I'd really, really hate to think it's all just steroids+he's not white. Yankees fans disliked him less for getting a huge contract and more for opting out of his old Texas contract early because now the Yankees weren't having his salary subsidized by the Rangers for the next three years. Hell, even in SAS there were Yankees fans legitimately pissed off at him for that IIRC even though it was in his best interest to do so and sign another long term deal. They were especially mad when the possibility of him actually leaving came up as well though I don't think that was ever truly a possibility. Was it A-Rod that the Mets were going to give a private office and suite if he signed?

The Astros are still pretending Ken Giles isn't the defacto closer already and Luke Gregerson has come out and publicly said he doesn't think he should be demoted so I hope this doesn't turn into a clusterfuck Also lol if they make Giles the setup guy to reduce his cost when his arbitration years come along

MassaShowtime posted:Its probably a good idea to not make the better pitcher always pitch with nobody on. So he pitches with nobody on in the 8th instead of the 9th? At least if they use Gregerson in the 8th and he gets into trouble they can bring Giles in

I agree with Joey Bats that teams expecting someone to give a hometown discount after the first three years of their careers are spent playing for relative peanuts and the next three are still below market value is ludicrous I also reserve the right to have a different opinion on this for Carlos Correa who's going to get all the money and I'll be so sad that he leaves Houston
