I suspect it's a two-fold thing being a new GM: 1) As scouting director in Atlanta, he probably kept/keeps a short list of AAAA level players that...
Definitely playing well. Up to .319/.396/.468 since June 1, with a 145 wRC+ He's up to 1.2 fWAR for the season. Might crack 2 fWAR for the...
It’s fine. Not particularly above above average or impressive. It’s good for a 104 wRC+ The Texas league (AA) isn’t the opposite of the PCL...
Fangraphs is mocking 28. Ty Floyd, RHP, LSU to the Astros “Floyd has the vertical fastball/breaking ball attack Houston covets and there are...
This is the impasse the fandom is at. Either the way Dusty handles things is completely illogical and he is a total moron. Or you take it on...
(Much) worse hitting, more passed balls, lower CS%... those stats I can get on board with making arguments against Maldy. But catcher ERA? Really?...
I get the sentiment of feeling like something is being left on the table with Diaz with the way he’s being used. It seems like he def could be...
Great to hear. Thanks for the clarification Nook. Interesting that kind of info didn't make it out to scouting reports but I'll take it.

Snake you and I both know minor league SB numbers are near worthless, particularly to a team like the Astros. Minor leaguers have the green light...
At this point, assuming the reversion to his prior performance levels is sustainable, i think you have to write off those first 2 months. For...
He's basically a rule 5 guy that we're carrying.
I dunno. A high-level college hitter hitting .242 in HiA is worth being concerned about. I wouldn't expect an 80 pt drop in BA from LoA to HiA for...
What does this even mean? If you think struggling players are not keenly aware of their struggles, way moreso than you, I mean c'mon that's silly....
I think SNW is overall the best new Trek show besides Season 3 Picard. It got a lot better over the first season. Pike is more boyscout than...
Wonder what they see in him. Don't see many particularly encouraging signs just scouting the stat line.
I think for most good clubs the coaching and analytics departments are gonna pick up on the problem. The real question is can the player make the...
Were they really big velo people before? Seems like they have been mostly elite FB characteristics over velo for a while.
