DAT Offseason Thread: Sorry Not Sorry. Still 2017 Champs.

2020 To-Do List

1. Extend George
2. Replace Cole (suggestions?)
3. Resign Harris and Smith on the cheap
4. Win AL West
5. Break my heart

Still a great season... just hate that it ended with so much wasted opportunity.

Still going to be the AL West favorites next year, even after Cole goes to Anaheim.

2. Replace Cole (suggestions?)

Strasburg once he opts out.

Crane has already said he wants to get under the tax right? That seems like it will be hard to do considering yall have like 150 million already committed and Springer is going to get over 20 in arbitration. Going to be a weird offseason for yall if Crane actually forces that on luhnow

There’s some interesting under the radar pitchers who could be available for fairly cheap.

I think Wheeler or Odorizzi would be excellent grabs that Strom could work with.

I also don't hate the idea of seeing what Felix Hernandez could do with some more pine tar... er, spin rate.

(no message)

I agree! Trade Correa and get the haul. Move Bregs to short and sign Donaldson.

They’re going to have to work some financial magic to be able to afford a Wheeler or Odorizzi

Ride or die with the Astros and we died game 180.

Luck does exist based on the first 4-5 innings last night. Sad way for it to end. I will not blame Hinch for getting Grienke out, he did what he thought was best based on how that inning was going. The walk to Soto was crap, but you are putting in a guy you trust to get a couple outs in Harris.

On to 2019, now I can get my weeknights back and to the gym early in the mornings
