Granted on those two picks. Bregs, Springer, and Correa were all high first round picks, too. If you think that it's just pitching prospects...
There sure are a lot of expectations on Leon. He's both the SS and the CF of the future. This from a guy who is hitting .232 in AA and playing...
He's a classic case of a .300 hitting minor leaguer with zero pop - those guys tend to get swallowed up by major league pitchers who can pitch...
"Replacement level" I think the term accounts for positional difficulty. A player might be a replacement level CF but a good LF, for instance....
The Astros international scouts, along with Brent Strom, may be the organizational MVPs. Urquidy, Garcia, Framber, Javier, Paredes, and Abreu are...
If you really thought Tucker could play CF, you could play Diaz in the OF. He's better than Frazier with the bat, and wouldn't cost anything....
It's really hard to separate out the latter issue (weak contact) from the former (low swing rate at balls). When you're facing a guy with no...
Tell that to the Houston Oilers. RIP. Lack of fan support had nothing to do with the team leaving.
Franchise valuation is important, but what does this do to the sport as a whole? If you move out of a major television market to a small one, how...
5th in the AL in OPS. "Get better". :rolleyes: Scary thing is that's only 23. Altuve at that age was .283/.316/.363. If he can stays healthy,...
You are referring to people who got their homes decades ago and have paid off their 15- or 30- year mortgage, and yet are young enough to be...
Do you own a home? Because I'm not sure you understand what that means. I would say the vast majority of home owners have the expense of paying...
Lots of A's fans here in the Bay Area who are also Raiders fans. They just lost that team to Vegas - would suck to lose the A's so soon, and to...
Then he needed to call Chas off. He didn't. That's on him.
I wish the Astros were good enough to waste the summer playing bad CFs while Leon got up to speed. I think he's the future, not sure he's ready...
What kind of world is this where the debate is who is "better" Straw vs. McCormick at CF? Sealclubber is definitely right, the correct answer is...
I felt like I had that game under control the whole week... heck of a comeback by Rook! Sucks to score the 2nd most points in the week and get...
Lack of talent and bad managerial decisions is a bad combination. This Astros team can't afford to slip way behind this season and hope for more...
The problem with losing your SS and CF in back-to-back seasons is you've got to be able to replace them both. Leon may (or may not) be a good fit...
Now I’m curious about these amazing waiver claims. Which ones?
