Still four too many KC players...

Altuve is starting at 2B for the AL, as it should be. I guess JB says, "Po-TAHHH-toe" after all.
PS Jeff, I read that article the day you posted it. I just realized that I never thanked you for doing so. Thank you, good sir.
Probably, but at least cases can be made for those four starting. There was literally no case to be made for Infante and one or two others.
Matt Harvey looks ten years older than he is. I don't remember him looking like that when he first came up. I watched a bit of his last start and he looks close to retirement!
Thanks go to Houston for all the good content

It is really going to be fascinating to see what the next several years bring for the Astros. So far, I'm 100% on board with what the Front Office is doing.
A few years ago, I wasn't. When they traded Pence I thought they were giving up too early on such a young stud and wasn't ready to accept a complete teardown. My biggest fear was becoming the Pirates. 20 years of losing because you constantly screw up the draft. The SI article last year tipped the scale for me and I have a surplus of trust in Luhnow & Co. now.
Of course a KC player is leading the last vote for the AL

I ended up dealing him for Gio, Zimmerman and Tomas.
I'm on the cusp of winning big money and I needed more SP and OF depth.
I think I addressed that with both.
I still have Wheeler, Gray and Minor as my SP keepers for next season so I think I'm good as far as pitchers go for 2016.
Well, JB, your man finally got in. Due to injury.

I leave Houston and the Astros fall apart.
Still in first place, for the moment. Besides, I can't have it all.I leave Houston and the Astros fall apart.
The Derby was completely entertaining tonight. My girlfriend hardly ever watches baseball and enjoyed it.
The rule changes for it were definitely for the better, and the event was only 2.5 hours compared to about 4.5 last year.

Altuve - 0 for 2

I used my logical brain when voting for Dozier.

The Astros acquired Scott Kazmir from the A's for 2 prospects that I'm not even very familiar with. Hell yeah.
Also, I acquired Kazmir in my Franchise on The Show recently so I just sent my application to Major League Baseball to become a script writer. The first thing I'm going to write into this season's script is having Mike Trout and Albert Poo Holes get caught after they murder ram. That should clear the path for the Astros to win the division.
Kazmir has had a career renaissance this year.
You think that means they're not going for Cueto or can they still?

WOW. Dodgers have let teams know that Yasiel Puig is available for trade. Outside of tonight, the Cubs have needed a bat to boost the offense.
Probably won't happen for Chicago as they're still focused on pitching.

Another WOW. Tulo traded to the Blue Jays for Jose Reyes and minor leaguers.
