Weekly offseason discussion thread (Feb 19-23, 2024)

Shorter time period this week as we'll have GDTs starting on Saturday!

Use this thread for any miscellaneous conversation threads, Astros-related or otherwise, that aren't worthy of a standalone post. I'm planning to post these weekly on Mondays until Spring Training starts.

Suggested conversation topics:

• What impact, if any, will Verlander and France's setbacks have on the regular season or on the FO's approach to free agents/trades?

• Do you bother watching Spring Training games?

• What's the most uncomfortable place you've ever slept?
