Cole Astros?

[dogknot17@yahoo.co]

The local news started to pick it up and so did the Astros beat writers. That's why I thought it happened.



These Twitter guys drive me nuts. They just say anything in hopes something sticks so they can say "told you so". Morosi provided a source in his original post, but now is not saying a thing.

there were like two different decent reporters sourcing the same thing.



my guess? they're working it's just not done yet.

Yeah probably. It could also mean someone else is trying to get our attention?

I just hope to not hear anything this time about how it was all an evil conspiracy by NH to people people think he was doing something, that he convinced national pundits to go along with because reasons

Anything that happens will have mixed reviews. If Cole stays, Huntington messed up. If Cole is traded, the Pirates didn't get enough even though those people think Cole isn't a top pitcher. Or if they don't get a certain player, Huntington stinks at trading even though he shouldn't ask for any top prospects because that is foolish. We have seen this all happen with no moves (yet). And no moves by any teams either.

but man was I really excited when I thought something was going down.  good OR bad it would at least have been something to talk about.

[dogknot17@yahoo.co]

Me too. I think a trade with the Yankees or Astros would be ideal. They have the players the Pirates need that are blocked. Plus, Cole would help them to separate from each other too.

Cole's wife tweeted a video of a roller coaster gif.



Kind of funny.

getting the impression cole to astros isn't necessarily close, at least not at the moment. also heard last night there was another team trying for cole, too (not the yankees)


I have no idea who the other team is (maybe Texas), but one thing I'm fairly certain of - that team doesn't have the goods the Yanks or the Astros have in the farm system.

Ya know, we get on each other when an opinion is made in posts that seems outlandish or just the opposite of what we think we know and we always got back at them looking for proof of what they are saying.



It is high time that the baseball fans and gods take hold and let guys like Morosi, Heyman, etal that if they are going to tweet, instagram, email, blog or whatever about at big time trade the need to be sure that it is a done deal. Have no problem with any of them saying that so and so team is looking at so and so player from another team but to bluntly without any hint of proof that a deal is going down they need not make outlandish statements that get fans of both teams excited.



I guess that is what we old farts have to put up with in the electronic web based world where big news gets disseminated rather quickly.
