Yeesh, no love for David Hensley.
Don't necessarily agree with that. As I mentioned above, full-season A doesn't mean what it used to. A few years ago if a 19 y/o was in full...
Think it's important to discuss that A ball now is not what A-ball was back a few years. A few years ago if a same-year draftee was crushing...
The overall dev team is really good and they’ve certainly produced hitting stars as well as solid major league ball players out of unheralded...
Agree with the possibility of going all in, but blowing money on more impact guys is not the way to go. They need to get a bunch of solid 1-2 WAR...
So 32 games in 32 days is no reason to be fatigued and underperforming? The Stros get alot more rest time coming up; that'll help. Not trying to...
Definitely some positive regression. Gotta appreciate that 141wRC+ and .277 ISO over the last 4 weeks. His profile definitely still sucks though....
this. He’s the Jerry Jones of MLB.
funny thing is the Angels have plenty of money. Their team payroll this year is about $3m behind the Astros. (10th vs the Astros 8th highest)...
https://blogs.fangraphs.com/albert-pujols-is-enjoying-a-renaissance/ Very interesting Highest wRC+ vs left handed pitching leaderboard. Tuve at...
fairly high ceiling, undrafted, and super senior don’t really go together. Seems like system filler who might max out at A+/AA.
You’re excited a 5 year college senior is dominating complex ball?
Verlander lives by rule 76 apparently. He wants to pitch as much as possible. There were reports a while back that said Verlander’s elbow was at...
the Angels with Trout and Ohtani not making the playoffs probably still makes more money than a mediocre playoff team with just Ohtani. Plus if...
It’ll be interesting to see if he gets the “2nd year after TJ” bump. Most pitchers don’t get back to full throttle until their 2nd full post-TJ...
No doubt the team has nutritionists. But it's a 20y/o kid traveling in the off-season. Not everyone's LBJ.
After the bummers of the last two Braves games, went digging for positives in the Astros season (other than the obvious best team in the AL):...
I'd be pretty surprised if it came down to money for him. He's made almost $300m in his career. I dunno if a 3 or 4 year deal would even be more...
He won the Gold Glove in CF last year.... The bigger question is why did they bother getting a CF? Judge is decent in center and I'm not sure...
Oof. That's just... yikes. The Tigers did end up beating the Angels 4-3 but the go ahead run was a few innings later.
