Yup. Will always be grateful, especially 2017. We probably don't beat the Yankees without him.

Seems like Contreras and Ben Nintendo are an either or situation. I don't see how both of them could be a functional fit. My own preference is Yordan DH and Ben Nintendo in LF.


Agree on all counts. Does it keep them from addressing catcher at all though? Or maybe open the door to a CF addition? Just really don't like the idea of going into the season with Chas/Jake and Maldy as your best option at 8-9. You're one injury away from a shallow lineup. I'd like to see one of those addressed, even if it's just a platoon partner for Chas.

I'd also like to echo the sentiments you baws have expressed on JV. TYFYS and for not signing with NYY/LAD. Good luck

Just spit balling here and have no idea what kind of contracts they are looking for but could we go Ben Nintendo and re-sign Vasquez? Could be a cheaper Contreras as far as back up C and DH when Yordan is in left. Maybe someone could force FODB to platoon him with Maldy more

Thanks for the mems JV

I'd make a run at some combo of Nimmo/Benintendi and Vazquez/Contreras plus take a look at Bassitt/Walker (not Christian) for SP depth.

I think you still want to stay under the luxury tax, if it affects international money

Astros are historically good at finding and developing international talent.

A counter to that is that our best international (aka Latin) buys tend to be on the cheap where the bonus money total means little.

Tendies or Nimmo much needed LH OF bat.

I'm not a big tenderloin fan but I'll allow it if the price is right.

The contract that the Phillies just gave for a SS makes me love Jeremy Pena even that much more.

Turner is good but that is an insane contract for a 29 year old SS

He's a great player. Way more worth it than seager.

We're gonna need Ryno to scout us up some Sugarland talent to replace Pena when he comes due, b/c with contracts getting this absurd, we will eventually run out of core players

Agreed, but a lot of his value is based on his speed

He will need to adjust his game much in the way Altuve has to stay worth a contract that long

I don’t see Turner aging well. 36% chase rate this year also, high for his career but still that’s terrible. He’s never been a great defender so he may have to move off short quicker than people think. He’s great right now but unless he changes who he is as a player it might be ugly when the foot and bat speed goes

I think the big issue with Vazquez is that he wants an everyday catcher role and should get that somewhere.

I know the Maldy hate here, but considering what every person that isn't just a fan says, it must not be as bad as we think.

I think Contreras wants more money that everyone has wanted to give. Chicago thought he was worth more, too. That's why they ended up not trading him.

You know they want Contreras as a possible LF as well. Not sure if he is interested in that.

JV was awesome! Will miss looking forward to JV day.

This makes me love JV and Kate even more. I’ve seen it from several sources.
