The Astros got unlucky this year. Luckily they still have a very bright future
Frozen rope
Overrated, he managed to have one decent year and then Doubleday forgot this game isn’t played on a computer
gmflores27
He’s not overrated, he’s accumulated so much talent that Houston is well set up for years to come.
Frozen rope
Obviously, you’re not a very good judge of talent.

Springer, altuve, bregman, correa, mccullers, Giles… That’s one of the best cores in the league, he just needs to put finishing touches on the roster. Don’t get why you say they have no talent

Honestly, you can’t leave out Gurriel and Gattis at this point. A .250+ hitter with 25+ homer pop will always be a good part of a lineup. Gurriel may be no special talent, but should very well be able to bat .270 with 15 HR and 30 doubles. pretty good #’s for you 6/7 best hitters.

I’m still happy they didn’t add at the deadline. I don’t think it would have helped, and the organization flush with prospects.
In my opinion, the biggest area of need is the outfield.

I agree. Go out and get us Charlie Blackmon and sign a couple of relievers. That would leave a nice battle between Fiers, Devenski and Feliz for 2 rotation spots. Chapmon would fix our lefty reliever problem lol…….wishful thinking. But I like the season Neftali Feliz put together this year, Melancon has been an under rated closer, and Joe Smith is always solid. Lots of options for bullpen upgrades this year.

Astros learning the same lesson the Mets learned this year: you don’t stop when you have a good team, you keep adding and build the best team possible. They didn’t do that, they got complacent, and they paid for it.
astros_fan_84
I don’t think the Astros were complacent. They tried to get better, but passed based on price.
Also, they had multiple regression players.

Jury’s not out: Astros should have been aggressive. Unfortunately, they are going to have to overpay to get what they need and guys with no trade lists are going to have the Astros on that list.

They’re set up much better than any team in that division, it’s not even close. The Astros will be fine.
Josh Hambilly
shoooot, the Rangers have all that freed-up Prince $$ to play with now
astros_fan_84
Princes contract was guaranteed.
DavCanArr
They don’t have that free money, he still getting paid regardless
luhnowsucks
He stinks – so overrated has had way more screw ups then good moves
RyanR
Bye luhnow….
jerbeetwo
Without Carlos Gomez on our team we make the playoffs. That schmuk single handedly lost 8 games for us. Worst deal Luhnow has made.
sngehl01
While what you say (about it being a terrible deal) is true, it really was hard to say it was at the time.
Losing Hader hurts a lottttttttttt, but otherwise, I don’t miss any other pieces that went the other way.
Took a shot, and it didn’t work out. Still loaded up on prospects. Sign a FA this offseason and roll out for next year.
DavCanArr
Yup, one of the worst trades, I wasn’t satisfied with all them prospects that had to go for a weak Carlos Gomez, what was Luhnow thinking…. I hope he gets it together this offseason and gets us an Ace starting pitcher and a good center field bat
