for some reason i thought gray would be only through 2018. so then yea they probably have the same cost

quote:

I think Stroman is a better pitcher than Quintana personally
i think quintana has more of a track record and he has pitched better years than stroman ever has. plus quintana has had a pretty strong june. i think quintana is better even though he got off to a really rough first month or two

Quintana's fly ball rate career wise is a little concerning. I guess I just prefer the type of pitcher Stroman is

Which is fair. If he's the 12% hr/fb guy that hes been this year then it changes things. I think that he's given us enough proof that he's more like a 9% hr/fb guy and I really am not ready to lose faith in that after just 8 or 10 starts

But yea, fly ball pitchers are inherently iffy

Gray and Stroman are probably my top two. Cole is still really intriguing, but he will probably be pricey and he's been inconsistent

I'm sure a lot of you guys have already posted this, but JB Bukauskas is officially an Astro, signed for $3.6 million. I think he'll be a hell of a player for us.

Everything I've read about the kid looks phenomenal. Big time draft steal. We definitely have depth in the minors to deal some arms i.e. Martes Paulino Perez or musgrove now

Little blurb about Tucker from a Fangraphs scout:

quote:

Tucker is so pull-happy on the ground that he’s already being shifted by opposing infields, but his swing, which evokes another era of baseball, allows for airborne power to all fields. Tucker has been significantly more aggressive at the plate this year than he was last, but he’s generating enough power on contact that scouts don’t care. He’s hitting very well for his age at Double-A Corpus Christi.

Abe Fromann, meet Marcus Stroman, the Four-Seam Fastball King of Toronto [Houston].

Pretty shitty AB by Beltran there. He's had quite a few of those lately.

Lance is so annoying in 1st inning.

Lance isn't a good 1st inning pitcher for whatever reason.

He's trying to aim instead of pitch, hate that.
