He's signed through 2018. I'm split on it, I'm not worried about him performing honestly. His velocity hasn't dropped and his numbers are inflated due to his last start. They would almost definitely be giving up Appel, which I am fine with if you're getting a proven top of the rotation guy, but I don't know if I would rather have Hamels over going after one of the big names this offseason in free agency (and keeping Appel). It's an interesting read though

He actually has a team option for 19 too so technically signed through 2019

Yeah I'm not sure about the Hammels thing if that means giving up Appel. I'm not sure if Appel will ever be an ace on this staff, but I'll be very happy with him as a solid mid-rotation guy. I really like the idea of keeping Appel and going after one of the many big name free agent arms this offseason. Cause as much as it pains me to say, we more than likely aren't winning the world series this season.

Remember the plan... though I think they stand a real shot at being for real legit contenders no later than next season.

Isn't Hamels a flyback pitcher? I want ground ball guys in Houston

We would probably have to give up appel plus another top prospect. Like McCullers or Santana if they want him back
