DAT: 2017 World Champions Houston Astros offseason discussion: ASTROS ACQUIRE GERRIT COLE

Time to move on and start looking to back-to-back World Championships.
A.J. Hinch will return for the 2018 season. Sorry Lou and Ryno.
Beltran will not be resigned as a player. I think he pretty much spelled it out that he’s retiring. Let’s hope Houston finds him a spot on the bench because he seems to have a special effect on these young guys.
Shore up the back end of the bullpen. Need lefty arms.
I wouldn’t be opposed to another starter as well.
I don’t think we are signing any position players because I think Fisher is staying on the big club and Marisnick. I wouldn’t be opposed to having Maybin back for he seems to fit.
Time to start working for the 2018 season.

Yessir on to the next season! Wonder what bullpen arms we will add to our disposal?

I thought we were holding off on this thread until the weekend. Oh well, no biggie.

What are they gonna do with all of the starting pitchers?
Verlander
Keuchel
McCullers
Morton
Peacock
McHugh
Fiers
Musgrove
Martes
That’s 9 guys. Musgrove and Martes will probably stay in the bullpen.
But what about McHugh and Fiers?

To be fair, it's fine to talk about the offseason, but since this is the first World Series title ever, I will definitely enjoy this for the rest of my life. I don't care.

I doubt he signs on as a backup OF / pinch runner role. He'll go somewhere where he can play. I wouldn't be opposed to bringing him back either but don't see how he really fits with Marisnick healthy.

I am hoping Beltran announces his retirement here in a few hours and we can find a spot for him as a minor league instructor or something
If we are going to add a position player I think it would be another versatile guy who could play some LF and DH and still be a bench asset if a Tucker or Fisher steps up and takes the job full time.
There are a lot of solid bullpen arms on the FA market but not many LH guys. McGee or Watson are the only LH FA I would really want. Tons of RH bullpen arms though and I think we will sign one of those and maybe trade for a LH

I mean the Astros have to have the best starting 5 in the majors with Verlander Keuchel Peacock Morton and Lance. I just want some arms in the bullpen
Bring up a couple of the prospects and see where we are

Let’s get it started then

I'm holding out for 5Deep's official thread.
Posted on 11/3/17 at 10:25 am to Prominentwon
We are stuck with Reddick another year right?
A couple bullpen arms and a decent starter would be nice.
Maybe another old bat to put in at DH on occasion

After ALCS Game 2, someone posted that all the Stros had to do was go 6-6 and they could still win the World Series.
What did the Stros do? Go 6-6.

Before the postseason, someone posted the Astros only needed to notch an 11-8 record to win a World Series.
What did the Astros do? Go 11-7.
Go Stros!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Bump. This wasn’t on the first page. Must have been some kind of error.
But here it is.
