Well, hell. I read a different article that mentioned him, then I linked that one that didn't.
And you are right.

I opened this thread thinking that Choo had been traded. |

I like Choo too, but he's 37, makes 21m, can't play the field, and won't be here when the Rangers are good again. Nobody's ever worth what they're making at the end of their big contract. |

Based on his willingness to change his approach (unlike Mazara) and the way he ended 2019, I'm more than fine with him starting the season, mostly because of lack of options. But he's gotta be on a short leash. |

The only way Choo gets moved is if he's producing and they eat a yuge chunk of his salary. If they're gonna pay him anyway, I'm almost inclined to say enjoy his production, especially if it matches the last 2 years and they think there's a chance they can win now. Doesn't help in the long run with the young guys, of course. I'm ready for the short leash for Odor. I've always defended him because he's young and he's shown flashes, but it's time to shit or get off the pot. I don't know what they do with him because that contract isn't as unmovable as Choo's but it's pretty rough if they're trying to dump him. |

I forgot about that. He might for a contender. It's worth pointing out that he'll be only one year older making $21 million in the last year of his deal than Rendon making $38 million in the last year of his deal. Apples-oranges since the wear and tear on an infielder is different than an outfielder, but it just shows a lot of multi-year deals look like shit on the back end. |

I can't help but thinking that all 3 of these guys getting fired was part of a deal to go light on the team punishment, not that I would say that the Astros got off easy. Missing out on the draft picks is going to hurt. |

I don't know that stripping their title carries all that much weight 2 or 3 years later. Everyone already reaped the benefits. I get why they avoided punishing players since the union would have dragged this shit out forever, but they obviously didn't dig into the use of buzzers any deeper than they had to. There's enough circumstantial evidence to point to it that they should have noticed something. |

I guess the buzzers thing has proven to be nothing. I do love how Astros fans twist themselves into pretzels defending this shit, though. I have yet to see a Sawx fan online that has hasn't said good riddance to Cora, but I suppose it's because they have other titles to fall back on. Stros fans, however, are like a few thousand of that "It's still real to me!" guy. |

No world series winner that year, which means everyone will still associate the win with the Astros? They award the title to the Dodgers and they hoist a flag and pass out rings to the players? Is that the way that the team and fans want the win? 2011 sucked balls, but if it came out tomorrow that the Cards were using Palm Pilots to steal signals, I would call bullshit, fume a little bit, and move on. Getting and celebrating a title years down the road seems empty and meaningless. And if you forgo the hoopla, it's even more meaningless because then it's just a change in some paperwork. |
