Astros are on the verge of acquiring Francisco Liriano

[Bobthe4th]

Pleased with this deal. Looks like there's a good chance of having at least one 25 man OF next year from Hernandez, Alford and Smith Jr. Ages next year = 25, 24 and 25.

Meanwhile Hutch hasn't pitched a single inning in the majors this year

He is still my MVP!!!!

[P2F]

The best I'd be hoping for right now is a change of scene guy like A.J. Reed.

 

He's been killing it for the last 4 weeks or so. SSS, but he looks like himself again.

Sweet Baby jebus, this front office turned Hutch into 3 decent prospects and 2 major leaguers.

Well, you're double counting, but yeah.

If that GIF was slightly wider I'd be in it, I was first row right near where that happened.

That's the worst claim to fame ever, haha.

[P2F]

Teoscar is a really nice get. Shatkins strike again!

I could see the Jays trading either Pearce or Bautista now in order to give everyday AB's to Hernandez for the rest of the season.

[BTS]

I wonder if Hernandez sees any AAA time

[G-Snarls]

What does Angrioter think of Hernandez?

[Bobthe4th]

I just Googled Hernandez for highlights:

Lol I was almost in an Aoki gif bro, that's legendary.

He's already played a full season's worth of AAA ball I see

 

And came up for a cup of coffee last year with the Astros

Perfect replacement for Bautista

Thames-ian arm

 

Nice

[Bobthe4th]

Here's his first MLB hit (and homer) - off Liriano no less!

I think there's a chance that all 3 are on the team next year - along with Pillar in CF of course. DSJ playing mainly as a 4th OFer, but also in a semi platoon role.

 

 

This trade makes me happy. A very creative way to get a solid lottery ticket in a much needed position.

[Cleveland Steamer]

Solid move. Plus Aoki is insurance for if Bautista isn't back in 2018.

That would be a truly awful OF.

[Angrioter]

What does Angrioter think of Hernandez?

I drafted Teoscar BBDL 3 years ago. Really like him. Great athlete

[G-Snarls]

That would be a truly awful OF.

 

I want the Bosox OF

[Brownie19]

That would be a truly awful OF.

 

In 2018 yes it would be. We're building for the future man (which probably shouldn't include Pillar).

[Cleveland Steamer]

If Pearce can keep hitting grand salami's, an outfield of Pearce, Pillar and Aoki isn't THAT bad.

[Abomination]

Yes, it really is that bad.

[gruber92]

Nice move.. Worse case, I wouldn't mind watching an outfield of Pillar, Alford and Hernandez next year. Athletic as f***.
