Exactly. We just massively improved by trading away a guy we hopes becomes Giles, an apparent busted pick, and a second rounder who projects as back of the rotation.
I'm happy.
Probably means he still needs to talk to Gregerson.

The other piece the Astros receive:
quote:DOB: 08/03/1998
Jonathan Arauz, only 17, was ranked as the Phillies fifth-best infield prospect by MLB.com. Arauz was the youngest player in the Gulf Coast League in 2015 in what was his first professional season, committing just three errors in 44 combined games at shortstop and second base. He hit .254 for the season with 10 doubles, two triples, two home runs and 18 RBIs.
Not to pad posts, but Jonathan Arauz is now rated as the 18th best prospect in the Astros minor league system.

Unless we are still pursuing another back end bullpen guy..
Since Fisher isn't apart of the Giles trade, where do we think he starts the year? Double A? Any chance we see him get a call up this year?

I think he starts in A+ ball. I highly doubt we see him this year. He was somewhat raw for a college player because of his injury, plus our our field is a complete logjam.
The problem with fisher is while he is a "tools" guy, he's never really stood out and had any big production years. I think he's a couple of years away and at that he may top out as a 4th outfielder. Unless of course he figures out how to use his tools to be more affective on the field
Haha. Can't wait for the Phillies fans to shred you after you disappoint them also.
He didn't like the expectations of a #1 overall pick, but i bet he loved getting promoted to AA without merit and receiving a MMP clubhouse/bullpen tour as an underperforming single A pitcher.
So an under performing pitcher who can't get his shlt together is their #2 prospect? Jeez...

Seriously? Mark is a great guy and a friend of mine. Just because he hasn't lived up to his potential yet on the baseball diamond doesn't mean you can call him that.
He's arguably the 2nd best trade chip in a trade to get us a pitcher with the lowest career ERA in his first 100 innings in MLB history. He's clearly worth something or else he wouldn't have replaced Fisher in the deal.
Tell your friend he's a dewshbag for trashing my city when we have given him millions of dollars

The Appel doesn't fall far from the tree

In 2015 playing mid A and high A ball, he batted .275 with .364 OBP and .483 slugging. He had 22 HR, 21 doubles, 8 triples, and 87 RBI's. He had a .5 BB/K ratio, with 31 stolen bases.
For a first full year as a pro, I don't see how that translates into not standing out and having no big production. That's pretty ****ing good.

Mark is a great guy. Doesn't change what he said or how much of a let down he was during his time in Houston.
quote:
Astros GM Jeff Luhnow tells the Houston Chronicle's Evan Drellich that he thinks his club is "going to look at either bringing in another pitcher for the rotation or a bat of some sort" as the next item on the offseason to-do list. As Drellich notes, the Astros have enough financial space and roster depth to make any number of moves to address their needs.
Doesn't sound like anything else big will happen from that report.

Appel lived up or lived down to his pre-draft concerns.
he threw a ton of innings in college. A ton of innings.
continues the reputation of Stanford players (i.e. don't draft them high) -- the list of busts and/or journeyman players is a lengthy one

He sounds like a schlong.
Sure wouldn't mind a Mike Leake addition
quote:
The Astros would "definitely like to bring in another starter," owner Jim Crane said yesterday, as Jose de Jesus Ortiz tweets (video link). Houston has real interest in Yovani Gallardo, could potentially match up on Mike Leake, and remains interested in a reunion with Scott Kazmir, Evan Drellich of the Houston Chronicle reports. The team doesn't appear to be moving on Kenta Maeda, he adds, and it wouldn't be a surprise if GM Jeff Luhnow and co. decide to wait out the market and "bargain hunt."
What is Leake(29) going to cost?
Samardjza(30) got 90 M over 5.
Happ(33) got 33M over 3.
I would guess something like 60-64 M over 4?

Remember when I warned yall on taking the hook, line, and sinker when Lunhow came out and said Crane is committed to spending?
I was laughed at.

So far, is Crane's biggest free agent contract Scott Feldman's 3 yr/$30 mil deal?
Guys, they are about to have to start spending like crazy to keep Keuchel, McHugh, etc.
I would rather them extend Keuchel for forever than sign 31 year old to $200 million.
