I don't think it's worth going after an outfielder when we will get Springer back. We are trying to tread water without him


I think we need to do more than tread water. The timeline on Springer was 6-8 assuming theres no setback. That means we could be without Springer anywhere from 28 to 41 of our remaining 77 games. Thats 36% to 53% of the rest of our season. Plus we have no idea if Springer will be the same player immediately coming off of this injury.

Its a risky move to try to "tread water" relying on Marisnick's struggling bat, a rookie in Tucker and journeyman quad-A player Alex Presley. Even when Springer was healthy, a trade for an OF would have been viable.

I mentioned 3 weeks ago that I felt Luhnow should make a move before July 1. With an even more slump-prone offense, the Astros truly need anotother TOR starter. And a replacement for Thatcher and Qualls.

Another month will be too late.
