re: DAT: Offseason Thread (Spring Training has begun!!)

see the Stros get Archer or even Odorizzi. Adding them with a core of Bergman, Correa, Springer, and Altuve. Adding a pitcher like that gives the Stros McCullers, Dallas, and them that is more than a solid front 3.

Not sure why you'd get down voted for this... I don't know too many Astros fans who would disagree. That said, I think the fear is the true Astros fans understand the dark, dark places an organization can sink to when they deplete their farm system and run on a tank full of free agents. Sure, it worked for them in the early to mid 2000s. But ultimately, the last 11 years have made us bitter and not even remember the World Series run.

Luhnow keeps preaching about sustainability. I hope he knows what he's talking about... So far he seems to be measured in his deals... He hasn't seemed desperate, yet. Selling off you 3 best prospects after the big sell off to get Gomez and Giles just smells of desperation to me.

I can't wait for ST... Plan on going down for 3 or 4 days this year.
