TheFutureIsNear Posted July 16, 2016 Share Posted July 16, 2016 (edited) Astros have a huge log jam of hitters now after signing Gurriel and they still have Bregman loudly banging on the door in the minors. Gattis is going to turn into a part time DH, has been sent down once already, and hasn't broken out of a slump all year. I'm not exactly sure what we have that they would want, but I could definitely see them wanting to move him to free up a bench spot for a better defensive player. He could be a good buy low candidate as our DH/occasional LF/occasional backup C who can bring a lot of pop. He'd probably hit a ton of bombs in Chicago in the hot summer months heading into the playoffs. Terrible idea or worth a shot?

Dam8610 Posted July 16, 2016 Share Posted July 16, 2016 If you're going for a catcher, go Lucroy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GGajewski18 Posted July 16, 2016 Share Posted July 16, 2016 QUOTE (Dam8610 @ Jul 16, 2016 -> 01:37 PM) If you're going for a catcher, go Lucroy. Gattis isn't a catcher anymore. More of a DH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Condor13 Posted July 16, 2016 Share Posted July 16, 2016 If we get him he should become the number 1 catcher immediately for us. We have our DH, so there is no point to trade for anyone to play that postion. Now if Morneau bombs then I'd say we could trade for a DH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreenSox Posted July 17, 2016 Share Posted July 17, 2016 he's probably available. Most OPS .703 DHs are. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
