re: DFPHAT 5/5 vs. Rangers: Every Astros fan welcome

Houston has two top 5 picks this hear and 4 of the top 46 picks in the draft. I hope the braintrust can kill it in the draft this year. Would be nice to get a couple of guys in the top 5 that can make the big league team within 2 years.

And the draft picks should be considered if they were to give up guys like Santana, Hader or Phillips to make the club better this year. Those guys are expendable in the right situation when you have all those top picks to restock the system.
The upside for Hamels vs signing someone like Zimmermann or Price is you're only committed to him for three and a half years and probably less money if the Phillies eat some of the contract like they say they will- and the numbers on long term contracts for pitchers usually don't have good returns on the back end (ie 35 and beyond). The downside obviously being that you have to give up prospects. I would guess Luhnow is at least pursuing it to see what the price is
I would love Fister as well as a cheaper guy
