Fallin for Dahlin?
Stros are pretty deep in the OF so it's a good idea to target them. They are probably more likely to deal a decent OF prospect than some other teams due to all the depth they have.
Yankees are another team we could probably target for outfielders.

An OF'er that the Astros would have to protect on the 40 man would be a good bet.
The Jays have some room and the Astros probably have less so that's where you can find a mutually beneficial swap where the Jays can squeeze a little extra value.

Maybe a guy like Teoscar Hernandez? 24 year old OFer in AAA with a 118 WRC+ and I believe would have to be protected.

He was the first guy I thought made the most sense based on looking at the top 30 list. They want people ready for next year; he is that. Even if they have to eat a lot of cash or add to Liriano.
Kemp makes a lot of sense as far as changing the direction of the team goes. Left-handed, contact-oriented OF with some speed who can step in right away? I'd be happy with that.

Borucki
Gotta keep the lefties AMR
Bolsinger, Valdez, Harrell, and any other AAA pitcher will likely be on the top of the list. It'll likely be a committee thing with anyone on the 40 man roster. Biagini may even get more reps.
It's not like it really matters. The rest of the year should be an audition. You never know what you could have out of any of them, even if they have sucked thus far. Although I am sure they will try to keep the team semi-competitive. It ain't going to be the Leafs Circa end of 2015-2016 season or anything.

Chris Rowley. There was a fluff piece about him on sportsnet recently. I expect they will give him a look soon. Organization already knows what Bolsinger is so there really is no point in him starting unless it's as a stop gap.
Borucki is on the 40 man but i expect we won't see him until September when the rosters expand and he has more starts at AA under his belt.

That's ****ing stupid. Didn't see the minor league player part. Better be a decent prospect.

Just a pure $ dump on Astros' end including Aoki.
Hopefully it means we're taking Aoki and eating Liriano money in exchange for a good prospect.

It could be a pitcher or anyone else now too. They said outfielder (Aoki) coming back the other way, but they did not mention the other guy at all.
With the money we are taking, it could be a pretty good guy. Aoki ain't terrible either is he?

Yeah I hope the prospect is half decent considering Aoki is just a throw in lol.

What position is Kemp better at? I see he's listed as a 2b and LF/CF
could be a bench option and potential utility guy if he can handle multiple positions.
