I gotta say, I'm liking Al Avila's moves lately a lot more. I loved both trades he made yesterday. Hate to see Verlander go but it's definitely what was best for the team, and for Verlander as well. Now he can chase a championship. The only trade Avila's made this trade season that I didn't like was the JD Martinez trade, and even that one started to look a lot better after seeing what the market was for rentals. Avila is climbing up the ladder of respect for me. Also, I think this was a good trade for Houston as well. Gotta go for the championship while they're this close and Verlander was a much needed piece of that puzzle.
