Yeah of that list, only Gregerson and Maybin are real keep discussions, and even then only at the right price. Good place to be!

I wouldn't mind it if the Astros looked to add another starting pitcher, either. Keuchel/McCullers weren't particularly trustworthy this postseason.

Wouldn't hurt my feelings any and then you could keep using Peacock or McHugh as long relief. I really think if the 2018 season began tomorrow, the rotation would be Keuchel/Verlander/McCullers/Morton/Peacock. That's a drat good place to be, and maybe you shop around for another #4 or #5 starter at a moderate price.

I just traded Carr away in fantasy because Watson was going to be my every week starter for the rest of the year lol

Also as much as I like Gattis he's not good enough to be locked in as your every day type DH

And if you're going to lose Watson for the year, might as well be the year where JJ and Mercilus have already been lost

Yeah, it sucks but doesn't hurt as bad as it could. I kinda wrote this season off as a learning year for him anyway despite how well he had been playing so far.

I was kind of hoping the Astros would sign Darvish somehow prior to game 3 but I doubt he wants to be teammates with Yuli so welp

Might not even need him though, Morton has been a revelation

Yeah I work kinda close to downtown off Washington and was thinking of kicking down there for a bit but after seeing the traffic heading down there on my way in (4 hours before the parade!) I'll probably just find a place to grab a beer and watch on tv.

I work downtown and will be watching on TV. Can't gently caress with that mess.

Here is an awesome video of Bregman realizing on Wednesday night that Verlander is with the team for 2 more years. This team is the best! THE BEST!

I doubt the Astros re-sign Maybin. He was just there to fill Marisnick's role who missed the post-season with thumb surgery.

Also, If avs are still available, I'll take a Josh Reddick wrestling themed one.
