    Meadows has an .800s OPS in the bigs this year. The hell are some of you people talking about.

    Basically got 4 non prospects to dump O'Day's salary.

    Now, yes, the 2.5 million could land us VVM so I guess the jury is still out.

    Meadows went on a tear for a month. Still doesn't project as any stud. He's better than anyone we got, but Archer was getting a bigger return whether we thought so or not.

    We likely locked up VVM and got 4 legit pieces. JCE and Cumberland are both rock solid pieces. What the hell are you talking about is the question.

    Also, one is a damn good RP. The other arm is playing up this year and has upside.

    The players the Pirates gave up for Archer make me scratch my head even more. I mean, I'm not a minor league savant, but I've certainly heard of Meadows and Glasnow. 

    If all these moves were motivated by salary dumps then whoever put us in the hole by spearheading the O'Day, Davis, Trumbo, and Cobb signings should be tarred and feathered. Preferably during the 7th inning stretch of a weekend game. 

    Glasnow is a reliever, Meadows shine has come off.

    Wasn't great.

    You need to educate me because at first glance I don't get it.  I really don't get it.

    Carmona is a serious upside guy a ways off. Which is what this team lacks. Ortiz is a nice young arm. 

    Villar is a toss in, but he has had some terrific years prior. Could be a nice piece we can move later on. Not sure how much control left.

    It looks like you got Ortiz, Villar, and Carmona. Schoop only has 1+ years of team control remaining from what I read. Free agent after 2019. That's a huge return. Carmona is a real sleeper and might be the best player you get in return. I personally really really don't like this trade for the Brewers.

    Yeah, all my Brewers buds are furious.

    This is a good return.

    Comp a scout gave to Roch today was David Hess.    That’s not too inspiring.  

    I'd be surprised based on what I've read on him.

    I've seen people project him as a #3/#4 down the line if his stuff continues to improve as it has this year. Maybe last year Hess would've been a comp, but his stuff has ticked up and he didn't start pitching til junior college. Still has room to grow at 22.

    "Massive rebuild."  "We've been trying to win today, but now we're going to look to the future."

     

    Continuing to say and do all the right things. "Massive rebuild" is music to my ears. Can't do the whole "retool" or not go all in when rebuilding. Gotta do it the Astros way.
