Hope Carlos Beltran has a wonderful retirement. He deserves it. Future Hall of Famer. Thanks for giving us a title!

One that I know of is Cionel Perez due to contractual issues

quote:

The timing of Perez's signing is also a sticking point. Because the left-hander signed with the team that previously voided his contract, he has to be placed on the 40-man roster next season if Houston wants to protect him from the Rule 5 Draft. That wouldn't have been the case if Perez signed with a different team.

Damn all of the Astros coaches are leaving. The players loved Bjornson.

The downside to success. Best of luck to Bjornson and he will never be forgotten for taking that LA fan down in Game 2

No way Yankees reach that far.

Any of you memorabilia guys? I'm thinking of pulling the trigger on the Springer autographed SI cover photo. $240, but 25% off for the next few hours.

I've got a 40+ yr old team signed ball that JR Richards gave to me when I was 7. My son got three WS balls from most of the pitching staff's signatures before game 6. I also have an Altuve signed ball and a Springer signed ball both won in a charity auction.


Am currently redecorating my office and will have a good display spot for them.

The Springer SI cover would be cool.

I wonder how much Lucroy would cost after the year he had. Regardless I bet he could be had on a shorter term deal. I like it, then you can move Gattis to DH full time

I'd love to sign Lucroy as our only hitting acquisition, then Minor/Cishek and Morrow for the Bullpen

Hit the jackpot yesterday. These finally hit the shelves. The 2 in the middle are thick with full page photos and run $15.99

I like it. Lucroy fits well and allows Gattis to full time dh. He's also better defensively. Minor would be big. One of Morrow or Kinsler or another right would also be big. I wonder if they Will mold martes to be a back end bullpen guy for this season.

I dunno... Lucroy appeared to be a bit of a hot head in the games I saw him play the past couple of years.

At this point, I don't care... I'm just ready for Pitchers and Catchers to report already.

No thanks on Lucroy. McCann is much more valuable as a catcher than a DH. Lucroy just adds another righty to the lineup who sucked arse at the plate, and apparently lost his framing skills the last 2 years

You do realize McCann would be the primary C if we sign Lucroy??
