Yep he's back.
His last start in AAA was 9 IP 8Ks 1 BB 4H's 0ER.
But Houston likes to randomly score 10 runs sometimes ... so I dunno.

He'll hit a homerun.
I can't wait to see what we "give' Derek Jeter, so the New York media can just shit on us again for no reason.

Was looking at his minor league stats, and noticed his height and weight. Is he really just 5'9 and 156 lbs? skinny midget!
He can hit though. XBH in the gap. Fenway is a pinball machine.

Heh, I'm glad ESPN doesn't give a crap about the Jays, an 8:00 Sunday night start would drive me nuts

Tons of interesting insight into the mechanics of baseball trades in those docs. Juiciest: Astros turned down Stanton for Correa/Springer.

That Astros shit is amazing. Wonder how many teams are fixing their own security so this never happens to them.
Kind of unfathomable that any team in baseball would turn down Stanton for their top 2 prospects but I guess it could work out for them.

Royals have signed Raul Ibanez to a minor league deal.
MLB upheld Manny Machado's 5-game suspension. He will begin serving it today.

Especially when Correa is done for the year. Never know what he'll turn out to be when he gets healthy
If only. Heredia while young still looking more and more like back of the end rotation or even reliever
Fuck off Astros stay away from Glasnow and Kingham!
Yeah i wouldnt be opposed to trading Heredia or Hanson tbh. Do it NH! Get us something. Package them up for something
Interesting this is what eventually got Norris
Baltimore Orioles for Josh Hader (minors), L.J. Hoes and 2014 round A competitive balance pick.
How are those guys compared to what we offering?
He's 19, he'll be fine.
Thank GOD they didn't do that deal. Jesus. Plus, there was no point to unload star prospects for what, a few extra wins? Stanton doesn't make them a WS contender.
Stanton is younger than Springer and he's already a generational talent.
Holy shit I didn't know that, seriously? Feels like Stanton's been an excellent player for a few years already
Based giancarlo
Stanton also been at the MLB level for 5 year years and proven to be a power hitter and .3 bWar from 20 career war. Springer in his rookie year with nearly 100 k's and Correa is far too low of a level even if he was healthy to know if he'll be anything at the MLB level. I can see and understand both sides of the argument for or against.

Hey its cool to be an Astros fan but Stanton is probably the best player in baseball not named Mike Trout to have on a franchise for the next 10 years.
Astros might have very well passed up what the Tigers did do to get Miguel Cabrera - which has worked out pretty well for them.
By a whole two months.
Yes, Stanton is great but the Astros weren't at a time where adding him would give them a run at the World Series.
Sure but... Stanton was only under control for 3 years? I don't know if these penny-pinching Astros would want to shell out the cash for a Stanton extension. Whereas Correa and Springer are both highly talented players in their own right, and under control for 6+ each. And Correa's recent leg injury isn't a viable reason to critique the Astros for not taking that deal.
Who says it's about this year though? They would have had him through the 2016 season which by then they should be competitive and it would also give them plenty of time to lock him up long term. It really comes down to what you think of Correa and whether you think he'll stick at shortstop.
I don't think Crane is necessarily a penny pincher, the not paying players is just part of their organizational strategy I think.
Before this rebuild werent the Astro always in the upper 15 of money? Although I dont their idea on the assumed 150+ deal it'll take to get Stanton
Realistically, saying they should be competitive by 2016 is really optimistic. Their FO can't know that for sure. I mean, look how long it's taken the Royals to go from best farm system ever to somewhat competent major league team. And if they are competitive in 2016 with a line-up that wouldn't have Correa in it, then unless they can extend Stanton (another big risk factor) they would only be looking at a window of 1 season to compete.
And what if Stanton gets injured again and his performance suffers during that window?
I feel like it's just way too risky for the Astros to make that trade at that point in their development.
True true. I think Correa will be a top-tier player, unfortunately the injury is a bit of a setback.
IIRC, Luhnow said the time to spend will come when the time is right.
