Re: Da Astros
I was actually thinking of posting last night what can I could get for JD in a trade (probably added with other people).. because the two A potential OF'ers I drafted in season 1 are MLB ready hitters (defense/speed is lacking). I could move some salary and go after prospects for positions of need. I was also thinking of skipping the prospect aspect if I had JD in it and just going after a MLB ready talent. I don't know though .. it would be tough.
Norris however I won't be moving.Comment

Re: Da Astros
how much did JD command in the free agency post-year 1? i cant imagine it'd be through the roof....as with anybody, what he's worth depends on how he's doingI was actually thinking of posting last night what can I could get for JD in a trade (probably added with other people).. because the two A potential OF'ers I drafted in season 1 are MLB ready hitters (defense/speed is lacking).

Re: Da Astros
Yea after I posted I was thinking about his contract and it wasnt much (Off the top of my head i'd guess between 2.5-3.5 mill .. but not sure). Still I could make a move to get talent at another position.Comment

Re: Da Astros
even the penny-pinching Astros can afford that lol....only problem i forsee is JD's production taking a major hit as i believe his ratings took a dip in Scott's roster as well as the guys hitting around him are well to put this nicely....badSteelers | Seminoles | A's | Rockets | Avalanche | Wildcats, Hoosiers | LiverpoolComment

Re: Da Astros
I would trade Martinez if given a good package. He is a good hitter in-game but he would be a 4th OF on a winning team. Altuve is OK and is still young and cheap, but is most likely to generate interest. Norris' inconsistency gets on my nerves in-game so I would be open to letting him go. Other than that, no one else gives me pause.i meant to post this yesterday when the trade went down but i just remembered it now:
in a response to a comment posted by a random joe schmo on espn.com, Keith Law said he'd be open to trading ANYBODY (i assume he only meant guys on the major-league roster) INCLUDING Norris...not to put words in his mouth but for argument's sake, i'll add JD into that mix since he used the word *everybody*
this is gunna sound a bit crazy considering the product the Astros currently showcase but..... would u be open to trading Norris and/or JD if u guys are out if it come the deadline?Play the games you love, not the games you want to love.Comment

Re: Da Astros
like i said before, if Springer, Wates, Santana, Nash was tearing it up in AAA, i'd have no qualms trading JD.....but there's nothing exciting about JB Shuck or Brad Snyder.....agreed with Altuve....i dont envision him going anywhere though.....i dont want to gut the ENTIRE team......and i can understand where ur coming from with Norris...i just happen to envision him as being my future aceI would trade Martinez if given a good package.

Re: Da Astros
with the way things are going, Cordero isnt gunna get many opportunities to pitch...what i wouldn't do for the Astros to have a 7th inning or later lead....Last edited by 37; 07-23-2012, 10:45 PM.Steelers | Seminoles | A's | Rockets | Avalanche | Wildcats, Hoosiers | LiverpoolComment

Re: Da Astros
He isn't cheap for long .. When going to sign him after season one he asks for almost 6 million a year (at least for me with scott's rosters). Hey it isn't superstar money, but still a lot with a 60 mill budget. That being said I locked him in for a while.I would trade Martinez if given a good package.

Re: Da Astros
6M per year is a lot in Astros terms...so that means if i remember correctly, that's close to double of what JD asks for? thats unbelievableSteelers | Seminoles | A's | Rockets | Avalanche | Wildcats, Hoosiers | LiverpoolComment

Re: Da Astros
I'm pretty sure Altuve got quite a boost with Scott's new rosters.. and JD got nerfed a bit..
Looking at Altuve's attributes before I think the only reason I thought 6 mill was okay (I think I signed him for 5.6 or something) was because he's what.. 22? That being said.. Unless I win 4 of the next 5 world series titles I won't be able to afford him anymore lol..Comment

Re: Da Astros
i guess i should be happy if JD's ratings came down a bit if that coincides with his salary demands....and if u win the next 4WS, wouldnt Altuve's value skyrocket?I'm pretty sure Altuve got quite a boost with Scott's new rosters.. and JD got nerfed a bit..
