Perma-ban because you haven't eaten the pie yet.

They have them at the team store...for $30, I bought them. I have zero kids but a pregnant wife, please assess my financial choices.

Sell a kid? Pretty sure they go for more than $20 so you'll have some extra Christmas money as well!

I'm fairly certain those are the same brand as my Texans socks I got last Christmas and they are insanely comfortable, if a tad hot for Houston.

It felt like Bregman beasted in the playoffs but now that I look at his actual numbers he hit pretty poorly really. .208/.256/.417

He picked his moments though!

He was a defensive monster consistently throughout the playoffs too.

I just got done watching the premiere of the MLB World Series documentary at UH. It was cool, you should buy it.

A.J. Hinch, Jeff Bagwell and the trophy were there. The movie was cool and the Astros are world series champs.

Trade the entire farm for Stanton and let's do this thing like the big red machine or the 90s Yankees

Edit: Also learned Altuve also fell down the dugout stairs into the clubhouse in his excitement after Game 5 and bruised himself up pretty bad. Altuve owns.

I know Stanton is a very long shot but I wonder if there was ever a time a team had both MVPs from the previous season?

Looks like Gattis is going to be the full time DH next season. Throw those Stanton plans out the window!

The Astros will never have an above average DH it seems

Gattis is a good hitter for a catcher, for a DH he's eh. His career high OPS is .826

Rangers claimed Centeno off waivers. I wonder if those Lucroy rumors hold any water. Gattis DH, McCann/Lucroy catching, Stassi filling in for injuries/days off.

e: OK, as far as I can tell that wraps up the legit requests, or the ones that are coherent. Thus begins ROUND 2!

Sab0921, you've got first pick, though iirc you wanted Reddick as Flair, right? Please confirm.

After that, I'll take another few requests. Players only though (sorry, candide--no gloves or hills)

I wanted Peacock, if he's still available, sorry if it wasn't clear:

I still really can't believe this is real. I've been watching the Astros for almost 40 years and I've seen them through a lot of lean times. Even though I was happy with the Rockets' wins in 94 and 95, this is so much better.

As for av's, I'll take Peacock because I don't think anyone else took McCann. As a backup, I'll take the Ghost of Mike Scott's Comb-over Mullet.

It would be extra awesome to somehow show him as long suffering, being one of like three players remaining from the 2012 team.
