You also have to wonder if we would even be allowed to hire him back, after what happened.
“Why o’ why can the Astros not quit Martin Maldonado.”

Looks like its Espada.
It’s been known since yesterday afternoon….but I appreciate the effort.
Just busting your balls ECC.

Makes me wonder how the season would have turned out if Espada was in charge. Astros were one game away from WS #3.
One freaking game.

If I could keep 3 by putting them on the 40 man it would be:
Tamarez
Barber
Whitcomb.
I really like Palma as a future backup C but I think he is far enough away from the bigs that nobody drafts him….
Side note:Astros picked up RP Oliver Ortega ( waivers from Twins) a couple of weeks ago….sits 95-98 with FB.
Should also mention we can trim some more fat off our 40 man:
Gage
Kuhnel
Whitley
Singleton
Hensley
Ha Ha!! Word.
With the way the Rockets and Texans are playing, I pretty much forgot about baseball.

Yeah sounds about right. I guess it depends on how much he wants, but the last few years he has not played to the level of his existing K.
I’d try and dump Bregman before Tucker. His career went downhill fast. The Astros got farther than I thought they would. Still a whole at 1st. Clocks ticking on the Astros run and it doesn’t look like they are going to try and add a big piece.
Lucky for all the Astros fans you’re not the GM.
“Still a whole at first”
A whole what? Enchilada?
“Doesn’t look like they are going to try and add a big piece”
Really? Where did you get that breaking news? Was it last month when Dana said backup catcher and the bullpen was all he was going to work on? Or just a gut feeling?

Calm down Karen. Beat writer for the Astros said they weren’t going to add a big piece. I said their run is about to come to an end.
So glad your back……good ol racist pepper here to share his non-sense…
No sh-t , everyone on this board knows they aren’t “adding a big piece”.
Thanks for that information, now crawl back into your hole….
Articles like this help me prepare myself for next year better than all of the hopes and dreams talk.

And the Dodgers are still going after it.
