@strohsguy@Chandler_Rome They have a +8 run differential since June 1st. Sure that's at least positive, but still isn't good for 55 games. Since you brought up the Red Sox, they have a +83 run differential in that same time (56 games)
@AngelMoscoso22@nikegawd_ There was no draft picks involved. The only way the Astros get a draft pick is if Smith wins the ROY or ends top 3 in MVP in his first 3 years (Prospect Promotion Incentive). That is why it was "important" for them to call him up to start the season so he was eligible
