No. He hasn't played close to a full season since 2018 when he was with Toronto. In his 4 years in Houston, the most games he's played is 84. I...
True. Though in that hypothetical scenario where Verlander plays 5 more seasons with the Stros..... if he expressed a strong desire to wear the...
1) No. Can't simultaneously develop an entire rotation (8+ players) and develop a more cohesive/winning brand of basketball at the same time....
Lol, holy crap you and I are disagreeing bigly on contract predictions today. I don't see any team offering a a 4 year deal for age 39-43 seasons...
Interesting how a lot of the trade deadline pick-ups have been underwhelming. Hader, Montas, Syndergaard, Mahle (good but now injured), Bader...
Whoosh. That'd be a "don't let the door hit you on the way out" type signing. Mancini's had 1 season over a 1.5 fWAR. That'd be valuing him...
Seems reasonable. He does deserve a raise but some notable differences exist between him and Scherzer signing that 3year/$130m contract....
lol, touche you're right. was just looking at the 2017 baseball reference page. my bad.
Have said this in other threads, but having Maton and Smith (4.47 and 4.43 ERAs respectively) in the back of the bullpen isn't the worst thing in...
That Mancini AAV ain't happening. Anthony Rizzo was and is a better player (though 1B only) and signed a 2 year/$32mil contract. Same thing with...
the top/middle of the playoff bullpen is pretty set. CL: Pres Setup: Montero/Neris ML: Stanek > Abreu. Then throw in whichever starter gets...
Maton gets a lot of grief considering he's basically the last guy in the bullpen now. Him and Will Smith, they're not ideal options but it's...
Would love to see another Brantley-type deal. If Michael Conforto's medicals look good, maybe he gets a short, prove-it contract. It's an...
Is that $5-6m total or per season? I think he gets paid more than $3m per year for sure. Something in the 2 year/$12-16m total wouldn't be crazy.
Funny how things work out. He's not definitely the best player of the bunch. Turner has a higher peak season WAR and more WAR during club control,...
sigh... not ideal
He’s been in the system for 6 years. He’s way past “boyz will be boyz” age. He’s so much closer to not having a career at all than he thinks. He’s...
Maybe I’m reading too much into it but that article makes him seem pompous and conceited. No reference to all the coaching and advice he’s gotten...
Houston's about as good a playoff road team as exists. Altuve feeds off the Yankees fan jeers.
Pretty much all the national coverage I saw about the Astros deadline was positive...
