Are the following HOF'ers?

Beltran
Beltre
Mussina
Y. Molina


I say yes to all 4.

 

[johnnyredstorm]

Beltre is the only guarantee.

Are the folling HOF'ers?

Beltran
Beltre
Mussina
Y. Molina


I say yes to all 4.

I want to say all 4, but I could see Mussina being the odd man out . And I think he's very deserving.

Likely, Beltran and Beltre only.

No Edwin now.

Love the Beltran move. Don't lose a draft pick and it allows for more flexibility

Even the Astros of 04-05 or 1997-2000 didn't have a lineup this deep

 

[celticspride34]

Didn't see it mentioned... But the winning team in the ASG gets a cash prize.... So they'll definitely be playing for something...

 

[johnnyredstorm]

Great move by the Astros. High salary but worth it for a year.

Astros looking real good on paper

Only $200K more than they paid Rasmus last year, I'm sure they're okay with it

Still need to add another solid starter or two

Edit: or hope one of the young arms actually turns into something.

Padres trash ones

Padres stay changing their uniforms.

How much tho?
These guys are making 20 mil a year, I don't think they'll care much for 25k

 

[macbk]

Beltran gets to stay in Texas at least. Glad he didn't sign with Boston.

 

[Bend_The_Knee]

Good move for Houston.

 

[DeadsetAce]

Glad he didn't sign with Boston.

me too

Stros move Rasmus?

He was on a 1 year qualifying offer. We didn't offer him another one . He's a free agent.

He's been busy all offseason killing animals in the woods behind my house with his bare hands.

Yanks near deal with Matt Holliday.
