I don't get heartburn over Diaz playing at 1B other than it not being his long term position. Abreu is hardly a good defensive 1B and indeed has...
Why not Diaz at first and Caratini at C? Caratini is a whiz pitch receiver who would help out the pitching staff and Diaz’s bat will play a lot...
Bregman would be a lot better off in the eyes of fans if the balls weren't so juiced in 2019 and he didn't happen to get so lucky with backspin on...
108 max EV, 102 90th percentile EV, 2 Barrel% this season. Looks like a guy who has been hitting a lot of line drives but doesn't seem to have...
Leon Loperfido Cabbage Loperfido does watch a few more called strikes but the difference in CSW between him and Leon/Cabbage is like 2-3%....
The three players below are Loperfido, Leon, and Cabbage but not in that order. Can you tell which player is which: Player A: 114.5 Max EV, 30%...
He's clearly not a fan of the team and that pisses fans off but I don't think he makes stuff up whole cloth either. Half of his tweets are...
I think it’s really interesting that comment Chandler made recently about Reggie Jackson’s podcast appearance as it seems to imply that Chandler...
Loperfido currently has the highest barrel% (35%) and the 5th highest expected wOBA on contact (i.e., how much offensive value do you create each...

Interesting nugget from Chandler: [MEDIA] Is this the interview to which he's referring? [MEDIA]
Forrest Whitley's Stuff+ numbers are back and he grades out at 121 for his sinker, 114 on his cutter, and a 201! on his new splitter.
How do the Astros juggle Brown, France, Blanco, Arrighetti, and Blubaugh with JV and eventually Framber and Garcia getting healthy? They might...
yeah, he’s been the most impressive pitcher in the minors thus far this season. Who unearthed this kid from Milwaukee?
And people complained about the Carlos Lee deal.
Putting 2024 Jose Abreu on the 1927 Yankees would have made that team borderline uncompetitive.
Pena needs to wake up this season defensively.
I think Espada has actually been more aggressive with Abreu than Dusty would have been had he been kept around. The correct move is obviously to...
Astros have two starters with an xwOBA >.350 in Brown and France with the next worst being Framber at .323. I expect Brown to play better and...
