agreed. I don't think this helps Close's image very much either. when things get ugly like this in the media neither side really wins. I hope they get a fair deal done.
if this blows up and they don't sign any of the three its going to look really really bad for Lunhow and company no matter what the actual circumstances are.

Although if this gets botched into the Astros losing all three, that article is right, someone is getting fired and Luhnow's seat might as well be on top of a burning stove

I'm not entirely convinced that the front office isn't making a mountain out of a mole hill in regards to this "unknown" elbow injury and using it to knock down Aiken's contract in order to sign the other 2. I think they thought they could take the high schooler, get him for cheaper and use those savings on hard signs. But Aiken isn't going for it and now they're pushing this injury bit.

if that is the case its inexcusable and unethical in my opinion and he should be banned from the game.

Oh I agree. We look like grade A bastards right now. It will be interesting to see how this all turns out.

Exactly. Everything that is being covered by the media right now is coming from Aiken's people & representatives. We are only hearing one side of whats really going on. What if Close is making all of this public for the sole purpose of smearing the Astros & JL just to put pressure on them to offer his future client (he technically isn't Aiken's agent yet) more money? Im not saying that's the case, but the Astros are being run through the mud right now & cant say anything to support their side of the story because they'll get in trouble legally.
The public doesn't have all of the evidence to cause them to pile up on the Astros right now. If it turns out to be true, then everyone can & should pass judgment against the Astros all they want.
I'm just interested in knowing why Aiken hasn't been sent to James Andrews yet to get his opinion on the severity of things and let that be that.

seat will be very hot next season for JL if this blows up.

I believe him. I think they know what his number is and there is no use talking to him unless they nail things down with Aiken first.

The fact that anyone & everyone is trying to tear down our FO makes me think we're on to something.

dude there is no conspiracy against the astros out there. people are going to report things that look controversial or fishy.

People are going to report whatever is being told to them. In this case, its all coming from one side.

Yeah, I'm going to give Luhnow a chance to talk. Hell, we have only heard from that bastard Close and Aiken's crossfit trainer.
Posted on 7/15/14 at 3:45 pm to msutiger
he ain't going to say much about this one publicly.
Posted on 7/15/14 at 3:47 pm to msutiger
JL and the FO deserve to get ripped to shreds if it comes out this kid is healthy and they are just trying to short change him. I'll be on that bandwagon too. But no one knows what cards the Astros are holding right now, so its too early to call for heads to roll...

+1, but with todays fanatical mob mentality, people want JL gone now. Too much speculation right now to cast a stone.
