Finally! Official Hot Stove League thread!

My guess is Stanton is far to cheap to risk the QO on Teo

Agreed, they wouldn't even agree to his arb salary last year and took him to arbitration.

I'd guess they view $20M as an overpay for a bat only type.

Can't believe it hasn't come out yet. What is the point of waiting until the deadline.

Stanton is figuring out how to squeeze more parking space money to cover the QO

The money is there, don't think it's being cheap. It be their off season addition.

To sign Teo to a new contract??

Agree they think it is an overpay but Teo has been waiting for FA since he was signed by the Stros as an 18 yo in 2011. He isn't going to settle for a one year deal. imo

While we wait on pins and needles for Teos QO you guys might enjoy this. Not sure if it will work if you aren't a FB friend of mine though.

I'm saying it be the money they have in the budget for another player. It be Teo salary last season plus Pollock.

I know that's what you're saying.

And it's certainly just another way to stay slightly above mediocre.

And Jerry gets the ball rolling.

Hunt hit 12 home runs in just 67 AA/AAA games. Was more of a middling bat at the earlier levels.
