I have no issue with Crane’s apparent complete unwillingness to give contracts longer than 6 years. I totally understand it; a huge contract...
This comment got me curious. I went and looked at every team's payroll commitments to see what bad contracts they all had (underwater, >$10M/yr)....
Pena and Brown will be free agents before 2029 and there’s near 0% chance Houston extends or resigns them. Correa will still be around if he...
I don’t think it’s a coincidence that a lot of these contracts that seem like overpays are 2 year deals. These owners know there’s a good chance...
Dude went from 2 years of below replacement level production to earning a $22M payday. Prices are sticky high. Might not be until the new year...
Thanks. My main miss was being too low on Sullivan and too high on Baez but overall I think it compares pretty favorably with the people who make...
Interesting. They’ve been high on Melton for 2 years. That’s pretty high for Frey. Ullola outside the top 10 is an outlier.
Former Astros prospect Adrian Houser signs with the Giants for $22M/2yrs.
In: Ragans, Eflin, O’Hearn, Garver Out: Walker, Matthews, Arrighetti, Brito, Meyers Roster: SS Pena 1B Paredes DH Alvarez 3B Correa LF O’Hearn 2B...
For some context on how good Houston’s offense projects to be as-is, Fangraphs has them projected for a .326 wOBA. The AL champion Blue Jays’...
Jesus Sanchez’s wOBA projection of .326 is the same as Eugenio Suarez’s and one point below Luis Arraez. There are only 6 free agents who project...
Taveras, Bourn, and Marinsick were very good defensive CF. They are really the only 3 in the conversation with Meyers as best defensive CF in...
Some of Meyers’ defensive value is lost in an OF where the RF and LF are good defenders. Cam Smith is an elite defensive RF so if the LF was...
Cole is not going to be “Meyers with power”. I don’t think people appreciate how good Meyers is defensively. There are probably <5 CF in the...
1/3 of the way into the offseason and here’s who I think might be interested in each of Houston’s potentially available players: Walker: D-backs,...
If the Astros are open to trading Jeremy Pena that market should pick up now. There are no starting caliber SS available on the FA market...
Arraez is a league average bat with defensive limitations. Hes worth about as much as Yaz. Something like $24M/2yrs probabiy easily gets him....
Former Astros farmhand Chad Stevens is still out there grinding. Was very surprised to see he got a shot with the Angels last year....
Yeah a big part of the disappointment with Walker is the role. If he were only being relied on for a Josh Reddick style role as a solid fielder...
I imagine the levee-breakers on the free agent side are Framber, Suarez, and King. On the trade side I’m assuming it’s Gore. Everyone else it...
