Cole Hamels to the Astros would be fun.

Now we’re talking. I would love to see that happen. Luhnow has taken a lot of flack in the baseball world, will be interesting to see how aggressive he is to capitalize on the team’s hot start.

I don’t know how much I like their prospects to be honest. Correa is obviously off the table but beyond that I’m not sold on Appel as a top of the rotation starter, Santana strikes out too much, etc. A lot of their prospects are high risk.
Bill 21
I agree Astros prospects are risky, and Santana seems to have high bust potential. But I would still deal Hamels + cash for that #37 competitive balance pick with Appel, Velasquez and Phillips and/or Fisher.

Is it realistic to expect a surefire #1 or #2 back?
They certainly seem like they have some pieces to build a package.
Phillies_Aces35
Obviously not but I;m not confident in the floors on some of these guys.
They definitely have pieces to acquire Hamels but I don’t know how willing a team in Houston’s situation would be to part with them.
Lance
No such thing as a sure thing. Some like Griffey, ARod, Hamilton proved to be great MLB talents. But I also remember some “can’t miss” guys like Clint Hartung, Mike Epstein, Clint Hurdle and Todd Van Poppel who…..well, will never be in the Hall of Fame.
Ray Ray
Johnny Cueto, perhaps? Maybe a package built around Domingo Santana (to replace Byrd in 2016) and Lance McCullers (bullpen guy right now) could work.

Cole Hamels would put the Astro’s in the Playoff this year.

Like many have already said, I could definitely see the Astros as the dark horse in the Hamels sweepstakes.
Sean Quarles
Josh Collmenter seems more reasonable.

I’ll buy the Astros as legit if they are still in the division hunt at the end of this month. Not sold on their depth if any of these young pitchers get hurt or start fizzling out.

Just bring up Aiken
