I hoping the team drops some dollars this offseason. I'd like to see them pick up a starter (preferably a 1 or a 2) and another big bat somewhere. The farm system is loaded and the guys are the team are still so young so there's no need to go crazy spending at all kinds of positions but since we're so young, its the perfect time to use that cash in one or two places like an Ace and a big bat. Toss all your money there while most of the rest of your team will be cheap for the next few years

No. There's two guys from the Dbacks that I'd really like to have, and both are free agents. AJ Pollack and Patrick Corbin.

It would be hard for me to pull for Greinke, and he's just another mental pussy that doesn't have youth as an excuse.

Dude had a mental breakdown for the Royals when they were awful and has been terrible in the playoffs.

Not unexpected but stil :L but it sounds like Hernandez is out. So at least we get rid of 1/2 of dumb and dumber.Its appropriate that Hernandez is getting his "WALKing papers"

this is a good day. we weren't getting rid of Snit after he won 90 games. We got rid of Hernandez, which is good.

As much as we hate him, no way Snit wasn't gonna be brought back, so getting rid of Hernandez is the best case scenario.

Let's give whoever the Astros pitching coach is whatever he wants to coach here. If he can turn Gerrit Cole and Charlie Morton into stars and make a dude who was already a HOFer pitch the best he has in his career at the age of 35, surely he can work with what we have.

Snit and AA both said we had a philosiphical problem in our pitchers approach this year( im guessing all the fucking nibbling with 2 strikes).

But anyways Im glad Wash is back, I was scared someone was gonna hire him to manage their club.
