Astro get: 2B/LF Brandon Lowe SP Drew Rasmussen Rays get: CF Jake Meyers C Yainer Diaz Astros get: C Joey Bart Pirates get: OF Zach Dezenzo P...
Meyers, Diaz and a good prospect for Lowe and Rasmussen seems to make some sense of both sides. Diaz and Meyers are the kinds of players the Rays...
Yes I think he will be developed as a SP until he proves he can’t succeed there. His ceiling is too high for them to prematurely relegate him to...
There’s an awful lot of smoke around Cease to the Astros but yeah it sure seems like Cease’s contract is going to be beyond anything the Astros...
$20M/3yrs for Yaz would be a really bad deal. He’s coming off of a good season but at 35 and with his overall track record he should be limited...
Astros getting all 4 of the players Nook just mentioned (plus Caratini) would make for a pretty kickass roster: SS Pena 1B Paredes DH Alvarez 3B...
I’ve thought Yaz made sense for the Astros for a couple of years but now I don’t see how he’s much different than Jesus Sanchez. League average...
That’s an ancillary benefit of potentially trading Walker (or Jake Meyers), it opens up a spot to sub in a lefty (who might also be an overall...
Anderson Brito, RHP, Astros (No. 7) Brito features some of the best stuff in the Fall League and showcased it during a scoreless third inning. He...
I will believe it when I see it. Giving him $170M+ and losing a draft pick is a huge bet that Miller is going to help Cease level up to Gerrit...
I want the Astros to follow the market to maximize the value of all of their players. If I am Dana Brown I am telling other teams that Diaz,...
People shouldn’t judge too harshly based on a single incident 15 years ago. Obviously it had a big impact on my opinion of him but who knows how...
Trading Walker doesn’t make sense unless Houston sheds at least 75% of his contract without attaching a significant prospect to him. He showed he...
Not so cool story bro, one time around 2009-2011 when Abreu was with the Astros AAA team I went to a game and had seats right on the dugout....
The Astros haven’t been bad at drafting. You’re not going to get star players picking in the 25-30 range of every round. Korey Lee, Drew...
The Dodgers had an extra 1st round pick this year. 2 extra picks in 2023. An extra 2nd rounder in 2020. They’ve had net more extra picks than...
I have seen less about this year’s international class than I ever have. The industry is just not covering it as much. Not sure why. Houston...
The leverage/flexibility you get by having 2 1st rounders (and 5-6 of the top 100) is an order of magnitude better than just having an extra 2nd...
How’s that?
I don’t know why MLB would push for a cap. The league benefits when large market teams win, and that is a direct result of not having a salary cap.
