Astros are acquiring Carlos Gomez and Mike Fiers :)

He's basically Anthony Alford but slightly further along the development track. Surprised the Jays weren't in at that price(or maybe they were and we just didn't hear about it)

 

I'd much rather have Phillips.

[DuckDuckGose]

I'd much rather have Phillips.

 

Really depends how you project Alford's power going forward. I'm not convinced we ever see it consistently in game from Alford. If you think it will develop then he's the better prospect.

Yeah I'm very bearish on Alford and quite bullish on Phillips.

[MagicMike]

The Brewers could have done better but this is not egregious. Astros gave up 2nd, 7th, 14th, and 25+ prospect... it's not like the Brewers received a bunch of tail-end prospects.

I like your style

Evaluating the trade by the ranked # the prospects were in the system seems like a flawed idea

[AdamGreenwood]

Yeah,

 

Based on that logic , we could offer our revised #1, #2, and #3 prospects for Carrasco.

True, I'll just evaluate like everyone else... (with a bunch of hearsay and whatnot).. and provide no explanation whatsoever

 

Awful deal for brewers!

 

Jesus, that's bad!

 

Am I fitting in now?

Geez dude. No need to pout. There are limitations to using organizational rankings as a measure of talent. It's nice that you tried to use a measure but you should acknowledge the limitations of that measure. That's all anyone was saying and it was done respectfully.

July 30th, 8 games up on Texas at that point and just acquired Carlos Gomez and Mike Fiers.

 

Astros are garbage, they won't make the playoffs, you heard it here first!

[Spanky99]

Domingo Santana's stock keeps rising, but that trade is still awful.

They missed the playoffs, Nostradumnass?

[FrozenRopes]

Gomez is a clubhouse tumour

They will! Actually they'll probably make it. But close!

[Spanky99]

Impressive call, regardless, they seemed like a lock as did the Yankees, for the divisions.
