We'll see them again in the WS.

So 'stros went and got Carlos Gomez. The only bad part is that we have to pay a decent price. The only part that hurts is Brett Phillips. He might end up being pretty good, but with the 2015 draft (Daz & little Tukcer) along with Springer & Gomez, we should be set at OF for a little while. Plus we desperately needed a bat and we don't get worse on D, probably better.

And the Astros aren't done yet.

quote:

The Yankees and Padres spent much of the night working on a trade to send closer Craig Kimbrel from San Diego to New York, according to Jayson Stark of ESPN.com. The Astros, too, are in the mix for Kimbrel. Stark’s colleague, Buster Olney, tweets that he’s hearing the Yankees connected to Kimbrel as well.

Reports last night indicated that the Yankees would be willing to take on all of the $28MM that Kimbrel is guaranteed through the 2017 season. Stark hears the same but adds that the Yankees are continuing to balk at the possibility of including top prospects Luis Severino, Greg Bird and Aaron Judge in a potential swap. CBS Sports’ Jon Heyman tweets that the Padres have sought top shortstop prospect Jorge Mateo as well but been denied to this point.

Late last night, Yahoo’s Jeff Passan reported that the Padres and Astros were at least discussing something big that involved Kimbrel and possibly one of Tyson Ross or Andrew Cashner. Stark adds today that it’s not known how much of Kimbrel’s contract the Astros would be able to take on after absorbing the $12MM remaining on Carlos Gomez‘s deal yesterday.



This all has a very Daryl Morey feel to it. And that, my friends, is a very very good thing.

Factoid: Ian Kinsler had 41 hits in July. Goodness.

Don't look now, boys, but the O's are 1 game out of the #2 Wildcard slot. Just added Gerardo Parra from the Brewers to play left. I think we're gonna be in the race.

Glad to see the Stros doing so well. They're my boyhood team, and those were some really tough years. Got to go to the Dome the first year it was open. Will never forget that day.

I was worried I'd jinxed the dodgers when they went to extra innings

The Astros catcher position has been the best player in baseball since July 30th. Combined Conger & Castro have 9 HITS, 5 HRs, 15 RBIs, & 5 RUNS in 5 games.
