This thread feels like day before signing day when all the rant people start making their way to the recruiting board posting a bunch of stupid stuff.

First 14 starts: 2.53 ERA, .592 OPS against
Last five starts: 8.63 ERA, .909 OPS against

Anyone feel up to posting their guesses of who luhnow picks up?

I'm going with:
Britton
Darvish

Sources tell me that Luhnow was seen in a CVS late last night picking up a gallon jug of KY jelly.

Well shite, I missed that.

Doubt the Astros go after Verlander then if they aren't also getting Wilson.

Hand
Ervin Santana out of left field.
