It might be just a small sample size fluke but Gamel was pretty dang good last season.

It'll be MMP to me regardless.


Same as miller park, SafeCo Field, AT&T park etc. Regardless of the new names I still refer to those parks as the OG names
Idk. Talk to me in 20 years of daikin and I'll probably still be mixing up all three names. I still say Enron accidentally sometimes.

Didn't seem like a fluke to me, he's not a power hitter but seems to do all the small ball stuff, had a good eye, and is patient

Definitely seems pretty underrated in todays game where Santander can get a mega contract and basically be a bomb or bust hitter batting like .220

So why not Enron field
No matter what!
Epstein didn't do, you know, the thing...
I'm the rare Astros/Cowboys/Spurs fan. We do exist

I had a thought about Bregman while working out tonight. I wonder if he's tired of wearing the cheating scandal.
Maybe he's been told by others who left that it didn't follow them. Who knows. Astros have been more than fair to him.

That ain't going anywhere, considering he hasn't had an elite year at the plate since the year the scandal broke.

Chicago loves salsa! Match made in heaven. If he signs for 4 years and 100MM with them I will actively root against him. F***ing swamp kittie.

Pete is on the wrong side of 30. This **** makes no sense to me...... he is who he is. He isn't getting a 5/150 next year from anyone.

If I had to guess there was no opt out after year 2 if he took the 3 year deal, and year 3 was going to be lower value.

Another Boras client gets screwed.

It'll be hilarious if Bregman does something similar to try and prove himself next year in a ballpark like Chicago lmao.

If so, good riddance, boras giving terrible advice

At least with all the wind in Chicago he might get a few of those pop ups to drop.

As I said a few days ago, if Breggy wanted to stay in Houston then this would have been over weeks ago. He wants to play somewhere else.

Seems to me Breggy is a little butt hurt that he's constantly in the shadows in Houston. Clearly his ego is bruised.

At what point does Altuve start to take the AB stuff personally. He's doing everything he can as a player and saying that he's willing to do whatever to get Bregman back and he's too selfish to oblige.

At some point that has to cross the minds of Altuve and others.

Thoughts?

Y'all are nuts.

I think Bregman actually wants to be here or in Boston but neither one will pay him enough.

wow, Alonso got a reality check

shows that a player has to do more than just hit solo home runs

88 RBI in 608 at-bats...while primarily hitting in the 4-hole...is not impressive

I think it would take too much to pull this off
Edit...also expensive too...just signed a 3 year $35M contract.
