During the entire 8 year run, the Astros have really only paid maybe 2 or 3 guys the going market rate for s really desirable player. Reddick,...
Ronel Blanco isn't making any lists if that's the Blanco you were speaking of. He pitched even better in winter ball last year and then was an...
They are crazy with what they are asking according to that. The equivalent would be probably Jeremy Pena, Pedro León and Whitley for Murphy.
You could have a fishing net set up to catch the balls and a randomizer app to call pitches and the Astros would have been #1 in ERA. Maldonado...
Agreed.
Jung in those 102 plate appearances - 39 strikeouts Bregman in his first 153 PA -36 strikeouts Jung at close to 40% Ks is at a level that I...
Martin Perez was a Cy Young candidate in the first half and was Jose Urquidy in the second half. Jung looks like another Mike Olt. They finished...
His hard hit % was 4% higher than his career average. His flyball % was 8% higher than his career average. No doubt he's still striking guys out...
He absolutely fell apart towards the end. 4.50 era for 28 innings in September. 6ip 2er in playoffs
Chas is OK. I wouldn't get too sentimental about one great catch in a world series game. He had similar WAR to Jose Siri and Jake Meyers, for as...
Plugging Contreras in would be like adding another Bregman to the lineup. A bit less OBP and a bit more SLG than Bregman. If they plan to use him...
Agreed on all fronts.
Yes. That is what I was trying to say. Maybe I wrote it in confusing way. Point being that Click had likely some analytical reason for not...
Didn't we hear that Click was the one that was against putting Pena second in the batting order? Perhaps there was some analytical reason he was...
That's too many left fielders. Yordan is going to be playing out there too. You can't sign Brantley and Conforto both.
Baseball Prospectus had Jeremy Pena all the way up to 16 prior to the season. I believe that this might be the year though that these lists just...
If Ullola can clean up his walks he could be top 100 by mid year. How many guys give up less than 5 hits per 9 and strike out 15 per 9?
Curt Schilling and Madison Bumgarner are probably the two greatest postseason pitchers ever. Both clearly above Verlander.
Why bottom feeders? He's hit 27 homers over the course of the last 170 games. Been injured a bit. Former gold glover. Borderline Hall of famer.
How many guys can you find that can play shortstop and center field? The value to Dubon is not that he's even average at anything, it's that he is...
