Here\u2019s what people were saying in the comments:<\/p>\n

@HtownWheelhouse:<\/a> \u201cWouldn\u2019t that be a no brainer? I mean one year left, can\u2019t be an everyday guy. I mean lets wait for the 10th anniv. of the 2017 title to have him back at Daikin.\u201d<\/p>\n

@sharigoldsberry:<\/a> \u201cThank you! Love George but he doesn\u2019t fit here at this time.\u201d<\/p>\n

@RossPollack8:<\/a> \u201cBetween Varsho and Springer, I think Varsho is the better fit for the Astros in their current situation.\u201d<\/p>\n

@AstroWorldzzzz:<\/a> \u201cAs the deadline draws near, I think this will change if they can\u2019t find anyone else\u201d<\/p>\n

@MicrophoneMilo:<\/a> \u201cNor should they. Springer would be an upgrade over Spence or Meyers (obviously), but this was really just \u201cred meat\u201d for the Memory Laners. #Astros need pitching and more pitching.\u201d<\/p>\n
