Astros lose Cassel to the Indians

Like much of the Astros Hot Stove news my response is a shrug of my shoulders.

I second that shrug

I don't know

It was good seeing the Astros get some time on Sportscenter, even if only for having ties to the Patriots.

But it’s not like he had much upside. He was a groundball pitcher who had potential to be a regular starting pitcher. However, he likely would never be better than a No. 5 pitcher in the majors, and most likely would be a No. 6 or 7 swing guy. I think Wade decided to replace Cassel with another Padres pitcher, Clay Hensley. Hensley has more risk, given past injury, but he may give the Astros a chance at more upside, since Hensley has been a good starting pitcher in the majors at one point.

yawn

This offseason makes me want to strangle myself. It’s either boring news or bad news.
