July 31, 201412 yr Yeah and if Turner, Hand, Mathis, Salty, Hech, Solano, Jones, Dunn, figure it out we'll be world series champions!!!! You are so optimistic
July 31, 201412 yr You are so optimistic I mean if Bryan Morris can join the team and become one of the better RPs in baseball then why not!
July 31, 201412 yr Changes!!!! For the sake of..... Changes!!!!! Happy they moved Moran when he still had some value, but that draft pick... Fuckkkkkk
July 31, 201412 yr So wait, is kiki ready to start? He's started for a bit so far this season. 760+ OPS and has held his own thus far. He's ready.
July 31, 201412 yr What the hell? To be fair, it's from November 13, 2012. (Everyone to the Blue Jays for Henderson Alvarez)
July 31, 201412 yr Could be a decent amount if Cosart can figure it out. Rotation would be stacked. Also guys like Hech, Ozuna, Yellich would have another year of experience and would be closer to their primes. hechavarria in his prime will probably still be an awful below replacement level player
July 31, 201412 yr Must be nice for Cosart to know he'll never have to face our big bats again. I mean, must be rough to face Donovan Solano and Adeiny Hechavarria!
July 31, 201412 yr To be fair, it's from November 13, 2012. (Everyone to the Blue Jays for Henderson Alvarez) Ohhhhh I didn't notice the date! Lmao I was already like man what a douche this guy is
July 31, 201412 yr Ohhhhh I didn't notice the date! Lmao I was already like man what a douche this guy is Self deprecating humor would've been awesome
July 31, 201412 yr hechavarria in his prime will probably still be an awful below replacement level player Don't be so optimistic. For reference: Jeremy Hermida's career WAR: 1.7 Donovan Solano career WAR: 1.2 Derek Dietrich's career WAR: 0.2 CHRIS VALAIKA CAREER WAR: -0.1 JOE BORCHARD CAREER WAR: -1.5 Hech's career WAR: -1.9
July 31, 201412 yr I can't believe they never bothered to get a better picture of Moran. That's probably why the Astros asked for the comp pick, "Hey if ur sending a guy that ugly, gonna have to throw in a draft pick."
July 31, 201412 yr I like this deal, actually. Cosart has had problems but is promising, Hernandez was unimpressive in the minors for a long time but this year really kicked the shit out of triple-A and has hit well in the majors. If he can be the second baseman, I think this is a great deal. Canha seems to be more of an answer than Moran, and Marisnick was the odd man out in in the OF with Ozuna's breakout year. I'm in... I like this. EDIT: Austin Wates is a little older, exiting the prospect tagline, but his stolen base, OBP, BB/KK numbers in triple-A sure look good. And apparently he is an impressive CFer. For a 4th OFer and pinch-runner, that's ideal.
July 31, 201412 yr Any names outside of the ones mentioned by the media you were in on? "We were in on all of those guys. The only one that wasn't accurate was John Danks. I don't know where that came from." - Mike Hill That's a relief... lolololol Read more here: http://miamiherald.typepad.com/fish_bytes/2014/07/heres-everything-mike-hill-talked-about-after-the-marlins-trade-on-thursday.html#storylink=cpy
July 31, 201412 yr FWIW i just went on an astros message board and saw a lot of them saying they really think Cosart is going to be a good pitcher and they weren't sure they were ok with giving him up.
July 31, 201412 yr FWIW i just went on an astros message board and saw a lot of them saying they really think Cosart is going to be a good pitcher and they weren't sure they were ok with giving him up. Fans generally overrate their own prospects and young talent, I think.
July 31, 201412 yr Fans generally overrate their own prospects and young talent, I think. How do you feel about this deal? Not being sarcastic or anything, I am actually interersted in your opinion.
August 1, 201412 yr Also wow i don't follow the astros or know what they are doing in-depth but those fans are absolutely pissed that they keep trading for more and more and more prospects in a never ending cycle. Might not have any pitching but that lineup is gonna be good in a few years. But we've been there before
