Here's a question: If Springer is called up this year, doesn't that reduce the number of years that he can be under Astros control (in terms of salary, arbitration, eligibility for free agency), as this year would be counted toward that?

They're working on a PCL Championship in AAA.
1. The MLB season is essentially done. If he gets called up, all he's doing is getting swings at the MLB level. There will be no team success.
2. Don't act as if the PCL championship is irrelevant. It may be to you, but to these guys that have been playing together, I guarantee you that they want to win SOMETHING. I understand getting called up to the big leagues is a big deal and trumps everything, but lets not insinuate that Springer is miserable in AAA and wants nothing to do with that success and he's wasting his career.

If springer needs this PCL championship in his life then management is right. He does not belong at the major league level. what a joke.

Actually, there is some legit reasoning for keeping him down while OKC finishes its season out the next 2 weeks. The case for keeping Springer at OKC.
And truthfully, if you know Springer is the future, and this year doesn't really matter -- why not let the guy chase a 40/40 season. Plus, you give your current MLB outfielders a few more games to establish themselves and hopefully become trade bait.

You would demand??? What a tool you are... seriously. You don't understand baseball, or business. Stop trolling the Astros threads and go play in the street or something.

haha i love the comment section: "Who is Jerry White"
Why would the astros consider it a great accomplishment to win a minor league title with MLB players? what a joke of a franchise.

Dude - do you even know how to read? The Astros AAA team is comprised of players an average of 2 years younger than the closest team in terms of age. Yet they are leading the division. The Astros do not consider it an accomplishment... but they are regarding it as an incentive to the players and teams to continue working hard. And they are regarding it as a "thank you" for developing players and turning them around (ex, Peacock).

The real reason Springer hasn't been called up is because he will actually give the Stros a good shot at winning some games. They could care less about winning this year and they clearly want Rodon.
Plus with our additional 1st round pick next year(from Baltimore) we could use the extra money to sign our two first roud picks.
I also think they want him to win the minor league player of the year and be eligible to contend next year for Rookie of the Year

Those players should be in the majors!!! That's how other teams avoid 100+ loss seasons: they bring up talent when it is ready.

Dude There are 6 weeks left in the season.
He'll spend another 3 maybe 4 weeks at OKC, then once they're bounced from the playoffs he'll be called up.
He will still get ML at bats this season.

If Blackley pitches a no hitter tonight I will shite my pants and then fling the poo at my TV.
Damn I am beginning to despise the Rangers and their fans almost as much as I despise Yankee and Red Sox fans.

Matt crushed that ball.
Castro needs to work on the defense this offseason.

Good point. From a PR and marketing POV, that's pretty brilliant.
