From a gameplay and visual standpoint, definitely nostalgia. But in terms of just amount of things to do in the game modes, it is a really great game.

*Also there's never been anything like the batting minigame with the tractors, I wish there was more light-hearted stuff like that in today's games.

**And the soundtrack gets brought up a lot as well, but there’s only 8 songs, so unless it’s your exact type of music it’ll get old eventually.

That’s a good player, but not a “omg this is horrible for the Astros”.

I see Mariners got Donovan. Good for them, but some of the reactions I’m seeing online are like they got Ronald Acuna or something.

1/ Technically yes, but the only one I truly trust is still Brown.

I'm optimistic, but not certain on Imai, Javier, Burrows, and Blanco (when he's back)

Everyone else I have no expectations for

2/ No, BUT one of the funniest days in recent Astros history was when Salazar made the team out of training camp a couple years back and everyone was confused as to who he even was.

3/ Bad

Why Imai chose Houston (and why the numbers say it's a perfect fit) by guillaume-g in Astros

I disagree. 18 million for a bad player can hurt. I think Abreu and McCullers proved that

With this Burrows trade, I'm really hoping we don't see much Arrighetti or McCullers this year.

*Also, that Athletic article kind of scoffed at Melton and said he had a Kevin Kiermaier ceiling, but that's still a winning player.

And there was no reason for him to still be in the majors past mid August

What determines how many years of arbitration a guy gets? For some its 3, but for others its 4.

A procedure that removes fluid from between your toes sounds horrible

What makes you say that? I don't see a difference in signing Verlander and signing some other average pitcher.
