@TreyGadler@Bob_Hose@TyTalksBaseball@BenOndaTop It accomplishes taking a bad player off your roster who you’re forced to play in the field because your best player can’t play in the field.
@Bob_Hose@TyTalksBaseball@BenOndaTop If somebody would be willing to take Altuve from you, you make that trade 100 times out of 100. The fans would get over it. Altuve’s inability to play in the field at replacement level cripples this team’s roster construction when your best hitter also can’t play the field.
@12713399HOU@michaelschwab13 They need to build one, and that is hard to do if you’re ripping out part of the foundation so that you can paint the walls a different color.
@TopherT613@asoukuptx@AstrosJosh Just for the record, you have zero insight or basis for this pure speculation. But go right on believing that the GM had absolutely nothing to do with player acquisitions.
@JunruWu43810@GOrwell2020@TheAstrosLocker You sure ask people to tell you a lot of things you can look up yourself. He is a 70 grade runner, 60 grade arm, field, and power. All those are really good. The only question mark is whether he can put barrel on baseball consistently at a high level.
@GOrwell2020@JunruWu43810@TheAstrosLocker Lebron has a much higher ceiling and a much lower floor. LeBron is really great at a lot of things. Some fairly large question marks on his hit tool after he struggled to hit SEC pitching. He could be a super star in the league. He could also be a guy who can’t hit good arms.
@ProspectSpencer THIS is the uncomfortable truth that too few Astros homers want to hear. This team, as constructed, is not a World Series contender. Get a haul for the guys that have value and rebuild. Shed salary and develop a handful of top prospects. Then spend in free agency when it’s time.
@BROWSEHAUS@thechek182@Underdog@LANACION Bro is Canadian. He doesn’t care about any of those things. He just has an orange man swimming in his maple syrup filled dome every day.
@tls1019@robncypress Schilling wasn’t throwing 100. You named 4 guys. There were certainly a handful of hard throwers, but it’s not remotely close to the game now. There are no more relievers throwing 86 like there were in 1994.
