So, Derek Fisher was very impressive at the Future's Game. ...why isn't he on the roster? What benefit is there to keep Aoki for him? Asking for a friend.

are they higher on fisher or tucker at this point?

Probably Tucker but Fisher is closer, Tucker is a year out at least Hell, you could wait on Tucker and move on from Reddick while keeping Fisher Tucker also gets you a much better player in a trade

Tucker is the one player, above all others, I don't want the Astros to trade. Fisher is...replaceable, but man, he could easily be the starting LF this year. If the Cubs keep starting Schwarber, why can't the Astros deploy Fisher?

Tucker is 20 and slashing .288/.349/.553 in AA, I have high hopes for him

That's tough. Could Kemp + Whitley + filler get it done? Also holy poo poo Daz is looking like a massive bust

Problem is...that's at least what it will take to get a #3 pitcher. Someone like Cole, Quintana, etc. will cost more than that. And I'm not sure it's worth it. Edit: Nah, we aren't getting a good starter without parting with at least Tucker or Fisher.

Whitley is probably a prospect on their level tbh

Yeah, but he's quite far away. That devalues him a little bit compared to Tucker and especially Fisher. Fisher can be sold as ready to be plugged into RF tomorrow.

Intruder posted:Sadly he was right about Singleton You think Daz is a bust? At least he has time to turn it around. He's 20 and OPSing .728 in A ball. He's far from a lost cause. Now, Singleton?! That is a massive, massive bust.

Daz hasn't looked good at any level yet. If he's going to avoid being a bust, he'd better get his poo poo together soon
|
# ? Jul 10, 2017 05:36 |

Oh, certainly, he hasn't impressed anyone yet. But he's got time to turn it around, and to be fair to him, has been improving lately. I'm just extremely salty about Jon Singleton and AJ Reed. We aren't allowed to have a nice 1B.
|
# ? Jul 10, 2017 05:37 |

Gurriel is doing a well enough job IMO, I'm pretty pleased with the way he's been hitting especially lately Sure he doesn't have the power or OBP you'd like from a 1B but it's a far sight better than what we've had

Tucker, Martes/Fisher and Paulino for Freeman, yes or no?
|
# ? Jul 10, 2017 05:44 |
|
Martes, yes. Fisher....maybe, but possibly yes. Go for the greatest offense of all time, gently caress it.

# ? Jul 10, 2017 05:47 |

I know you're mad at Martes but his stuff is legit and he's still very young
|
# ? Jul 10, 2017 05:56 |

I don't see the Astros being able to trade Paulino this year due to the 80-game suspension. Martes + Fisher + I dunno, Colin Moran?

It warms my heart that Astros fans are starting to use this thread finally. We should continue to do this!

I wouldn't mind moving Moran now while he has the illusion of value

What are the odds the Astros go 19-8 down the stretch and the Dodgers go 8-19? Asking for a friend.

Very low but IIRC it doesn't matter because they went back to alternating AL/NL homefield The only teams the Astros need to really worry about are the Indians and Red Sox
