Well, we share a Spring Training facility, so why not?

You're not getting what we want with all the stipulations placed.

We want a Luhnow-type direction and we're getting an endless roundabout

Contreras is the best C in baseball by any metric with nobody close

Just a born leader

I was trying to think of a comparable and all I could come up with was Bench in several categories but still more athletic

quote:

Framber Valdez: Signed out of the Dominican Republic in March 2015 for just $10,000. He was already an "older" international prospect at 21. Ocampo personally identified Valdez by focusing on the unique spin rate and sharp rotation of his curveball, paired with his innate ability to land it for strikes.

• Cristian Javier: Signed in March 2015 for $10,000 just days before turning 18. Javier was a former outfielder who had been completely overlooked at ages 16 and 17. Ocampo spearheaded the signing after area scouts Roman Ocumarez and Leocadio Guevara sent him video. Ocampo pushed to sign Javier because of his effortless arm action and delivery mechanics, despite his low velocity at the time.

• José Urquidy: Signed out of Mexico in March 2015 for $100,000 at age 19. Under Ocampo's evaluation, the Astros successfully converted Urquidy from a Mexican League bullpen closer into a disciplined, high-value major-league starting pitcher.

• Luis Garcia: Signed out of Venezuela in 2017 for $10,000 as a late-blooming 20-year-old. Ocampo's department targeted Garcia when other teams deemed him too old for an international amateur contract, relying on the Astros' data-driven development to hone his raw physical profile.

? Yordan Alvarez: The Advocacy and Acquisition

Ocampo did not sign Yordan Alvarez as an international amateur, but he is directly responsible for Alvarez wearing an Astros uniform.
• The Recommendation: Ocampo heavily scouted Alvarez in 2016 and strongly advocated for the Astros to sign him out of Cuba.
• The Trade: Due to financial pooling constraints, the Astros couldn't sign Alvarez, and he went to the Los Angeles Dodgers. However, Ocampo never took his eyes off him. Just a few months later, Ocampo and veteran scout Charlie Mire convinced Jeff Luhnow to demand Alvarez from the Dodgers in exchange for relief pitcher Josh Fields.



Shut up and take Jims money.

Still no gm, no plan and no real hope.
