Astros in for a 4 game weekend set - June 7-10

[DT LUNA]

As Rangers visit Dodgers, a pitcher could be Texas' top return from trade that sent Yu Darvish to LA

Interesting to find out about Willie.

Seems to me that's a compliment to Alexy as much as it is an insult to Calhoun.

 

[Kelleyman]

But this

 

[scotsman1948]

1. Guzman
2. Profar
3. IHF
4. DeShields
5.Mazara
6. One and one half years for development before 2020/2021
Surely you can find something optimistic out of that.

note: I am extremely optimistic about those players and Calhoun and Taveras and JPM but none of them are pitchers and with injury issues with some of our better MiL pitching prospects that's where i'm not.

 

[Nightcrawler]

I hope Alexy pans out.

I remember being underwhelmed with what we got for Darvish

Understand but you did not spell it out that way in the first comment. You said,what is happening that would make me optimistic now? So I gave you a few things to think about and you did not say a word about any TJS pitchers in your original comment so how is anyone to know what you meant.

Crawler- so you are sometimes underwhelmed? Really? Ha

sorry was at work so couldn't go into depth. but with Blackburn and our #2, #4, and #5 pitching prospects out until probably the middle of next season and their advancement delayed by the same amount of time following their return I can't look at the team with much optimism.

 

[scotsman1948]

Oh DT, I also forgot to mention Ronald Herrera who is on the 60 with Labrum issues. He could be facing surgery which would delay his advancement

Good, I was worried about them being able to sign Owen White.

Very funny


I still say to this day that it was very obvious the dodgers were gearing up to win a World Series last year and we had the best pitcher on the market who could help them.

We should’ve been able to get verdugo or buehler.

That wasn't happening, sorry to burst your cynical little bubble

If it did, wow, but the deal while it could've been better wasn't something to pine over months later

And we got possibly the better deal as it turned out.

Well it is about supply and demand and Astros had no interest and got Verlander which worked out well for them
Big Yu fan but he did not do well in playoffs and is now on the DL

You really don’t understand supply and demand, do you? The only way that happens is if you’re able to generate a bidding war between at minimum two clubs. When Houston got verlander that went out the window.
