Not sure if the off-season thread was anchored
Chicken anchored it like 2 hours after it was started.
Love the Aoki acquisition. Hes likely a backup outfielder. Contact hitter, low K rate, decent OBP.

I like the Aoki signing. He probably isn't a starter for us, but he gives us very solid depth. Decent hitter and on-base guy. Honestly, I think if we can add another big bat, particularly in the outfield, and add a couple good starting pitchers (which might be hard because the free agent pitchers are awful), I think we can be World Series favorites, outside of the Cubs of course.

Aoki is a solid bench guy for us and the type of hitter we need to add
Posted on 11/3/16 at 6:52 pm to 5 Deep

Also, I know this happened on Saturday but in case anyone was too focused on college football...

The Astros added hard-throwing left-hander Reymin Guduan to their 40-man roster Saturday. Guduan, who was set to become a Minor League free agent, is the Astros' No. 27 prospect, according to MLBPipeline.com.
Guduan, 24, split last season between Triple-A Fresno and Double-A Corpus Christi, posting a 3-3 record with two saves and a 4.18 ERA. The Dominican struck out 63 batters in 56 innings pitched, while allowing just a .235 opponent's batting average. Lefties hit .213 against him in Fresno.
Guduan will come to Major League camp with a shot to make the big league club, considering the Astros need left-handed bullpen help. Control has been an issue throughout his time with the Astros, though. He's walked 199 batters in 253 1/3 pro innings, including 37 free passes last season.

Surprised this wasn't started by a Tennessee fan.

From the No One Gives a Shite But Me Dept.: The high A team that relocated to the Carolina League from Lancaster announced they will be playing for two seasons at Campbell University while a new ballpark is built in Fayetteville.
Campbell is only 30 minutes from my house so I will definitely go see a few games.

Trade for Quintana and Eaton? Do want.

Bagwell deserves it; and once they let Piazza in, exclusion of "whisper steroid" candidates became completely disingenuous. Hard to exclude Bonds et al as well, once they voted in Piazza.
The most annoying thing to me remains the exclusion of Edgar Martinez. The same sportswriters who proclaim Papi as "first ballot" if not demanding his entrance by acclamation, won't vote for the superior Martinez.
