I hope they do trade Pence.. I love him being on the Astros, but if you really love the Stros then you realize it's the best thing for them. He's not a 30+ homer guy each year, not a 110+ RBI man each year... You're losing a typical 5 hole hitter on most teams... Trade him and get 2-3 great prospects in return. Maybe to Philly for Dominick Brown and another 2.

As for Carlos, no one wants his salary for 20 HR's a year... And he'd probably ask for a second cone lol

11th pick and the Astros take an outfielder. Pence is an average player at best. He looks like a standout cause he plays for the Astros. 11th pick and they go with an outfielder. Really, really?  How about some much needed pitching. Outfielder? Really!  Put the cones outside minute maid and let Collin Delome have his chance.

Exactly what I said somewhere else. Pence is an [b]Average[/b] middle of the line up guy. Except in Houston.

Jungmann should not have been passed up on... Don't worry your little heart though, they have 20 years to regret it.

I'm sure the Astros would have drafted Jungman if they weren't so deep on pitching already. I mean really who needs a 21 year old pitcher who already throws in the mid 90's with an established curve ball and change. They should have re-signed Berkman when he finished his rent with the Yankees and anyone of the many closers they let get away. Wade is a clown and it is time for him to go.

He has built a farm system to a point though, which was non existent before he came in.

Built our farm system? We have the 5th worse farm system in the majors. ???

Where'd you get that from? And did you see our farm system BEFORE he got here? We actually have some players now.

Go on the Astros website and look at the 2005 and below and see how many names you know. Then, go look at the Astros top 10 prospects and when they were drafted.. All were taken by Wade. One, Lyles, was a top 20 prospect in the league.

Let me concede that the farm system is better for discussion. Did the Berkman deal or the failure to re-sign one of the many closers enhnace the farm system or could we have had these players while still re-building the farm?

That's hard for us to tell being we don't know the money... But it HAS gotten better under Wade. As fans, lets hope it continues.

AJ 25, I realize that Pence is not a 30 HR or 100 RBI man, but he is a solid player who gives his all on every play and at bat. On a routine ground out, he is running full speed to first base, forcing the infielder to scoop and throw. I wonder how many times Berkman could have been safe at first had he hustled down the line.

If we trade Pence, why do we think we can get two players in return if Pence is not that good. Plus, a trade for prospects is always a crap shoot. Diamonds in the rough are too few and far between. The only way to bring in great players, if not up through the farm system, is to pay them dearly (the Yankees come to mind, and look what Clemens did for the Stros).

Carlos Lee attracts the hispanic crowd, of which Houston has a sizeable one.

I agree just like the Rockets keeping Yao for the Chinese crowd overseas.

Let's put it this way, how are we doing with Hunter Pence? We can't do much worse without him. And I would think that the front office of both teams has done enough research to know that the 2 players they get in return will be able to play some good ball.

I personally think they just need to continue going young and build for the future. Pence is the best player on the team that would draw the best prospects.

      Biden just called half of America "GARBAGE".

      By CardinalBacker · Posted

      Are you really gonna talk about decorum from a President while supporting the guy who effectively has no such decorum? Just last night the former president (and would-be despot) was in Arizona talking with Tucker Carlson and fantasized about Liz Cheney in front of a firing squad… after calling her dumb, of course.     Trump didn’t just “defecate all over the office of the President”…. He is a piece of excrement.

      Montgomery @ PNG Discussion

      By tvc184 · Posted

      I like option number two, PNG and Nederland both win. Nederland i’ll be the district champion, number 1 seed or whatever you want to call it. Yes I know that if two or three teams tie with the same record, they will be called co-champions and everyone gets a trophy. One team however will go in as the first place team in district and will play the fourth place team in the bi-district round. If PNG and Nederland both win, Nederland will be #1.

      Virginia Judge Rules State Of Virginia Can't Strike Noncitizens From Voter Rolls!

      By tvc184 · Posted

      Virginia has same day voter registration. A person can literally walk in to the voting location, register and then vote. So the premise that Virginia might be stopping people with a legitimate right to vote is nonsense. From what I gather in the news report, assuming that the ones I have read are correct, the people that were removed, filled out a drivers license registration and marked that they were not an American citizen. Could the person have made a mistake bychecking the box incorrectly? Although unlikely it is certainly possible. That same person who was removed can go into the same voting location where he would have voted and again, complete a voter registration and then vote.  That went into the Supreme Court’s decision.  If such a person votes by registering on election day, he fills out a provisional ballot. Provisional ballots are not originally counted and or not counted unless needed. For example….  Statewide there are 500 provisional ballots cast. A person wins the election by 4,000 votes. That would be no need to count the provisional ballots as it will not matter. Then let’s say there are 5,000 provisional ballots cast in the election. One candidate then wins the election by only 1,500 votes. In that case, the election could definitely swing on those provisional ballots. The state will then investigate each person to make sure they live at the correct address listed and that they are American citizens. If these things are correct, the vote will then be counted. Safe Harbor is not untillll…… I think December 17th this year so there will be six weeks to verify the provisional ballots if needed. The purging of the names of people who checked a state form saying that they were not an American citizen, will not stop that same person from voting.
