Fools gold for Dana Brown to buy instead of sell before the deadline to save his job.

Astros are like the saints after brees: purgatory

I choose to accept a “slight renovation” of the roster over a complete rebuild.

Pena could garner a struggling Duran + prospects Witherspoon & Gonzalez from the BoSox.

Ironically, the deadline market for catchers is also solid… looking at you Yanier.

I don’t think Dana has the go ahead to be real buyers at the deadline when they’ve been linked to a .240 lefty hitter in Lars Nootbaar.

I get posturing, but I follow the Astros too much to know that Browns basically being given a “one last shot” with limitations. No prospects below 20.

I think we should cash in knowing a lockout is coming. This team with a lefty bat and a half arse relief pitcher isn’t making this team a world series winner.


Again, two choices to Jim Crane: Purgatory or Rebuild

Brown gonna trade their only 2 legit position player prospects in Neyens and alvarez for a couple of mid dudes at an outside attempt to earn a 2 and que playoff cameo. They are 5 legit players away from a realistic chance to win the AL including a bonified ace

It's surprising with this motley crew of players they've assembled.
Go Stros!

Brown doesn’t even have a contract. The draft seemed like a marked difference from prior years. I’m not sure why people think he’d be allowed to trade the farm away.

Ehh. Pump the brakes. The division is a cripple fight. Enjoy the wins but this team isn't winning it all.

I dont think Crane is going to let Brown do much of anything this year. Hold the cards, survive the strike/lock out, then reset in spring 28.

You think Pena will command two top five prospects plus a former 8.7 bWar player in Duran?
