Good post. I agree with most of it but it should be noted that having a top pick in the NBA is a lot more valuable than in baseball. MLB teams...
Yep, bad call. Speaking of Keppinger, I saw somebody asking the other day why we would need to look elsewhere for a 2B. I've mentioned this...
McCutchen has hit leadoff for most of his career so far and about half of this season. He's basically a younger version of Bourn with slugging...
It's amazing how well he moves and plays CF for a guy his size. He completely owns the Astros.
On another note, how about the run Cliff Lee is on? 2-hit shutout against Boston. 1 run given up over the last 40+ IP.
Not too surprising actually given the way he struggled at the plate for most of the season. I'm also guessing the defensive value is the most...
According to that same metric, Chris Johnson is the worst on the team and the 5th worst in the NL among qualified players. Basically, the...
Based on WAR, Bourn is the best player on this team and the 6th best player in the NL, believe it or not, and it's been that way for a while, even...

WARNING: If you have young children at home, block any stations that will be showing the Astros play the Red Sox. There will be graphic displays...
And we didn't even have to face Price or Hellickson...
Thanks, it's pretty cool to see teams that draft and develop successfully.
Shields completely having his way with our lineup. Don't the Rays have another stud SP in their system? I think I saw something the other day...
Zobrist has a very good eye and a terrific plate approach. He's had two outstanding PAs so far tonight. The first was with 2 outs and kicked off...
I never saw the play where Pence got injured. Can somebody who saw it describe it to me or link me to a vid? Thanks in advance.
Good post. I get you. He did however elaborate on the fact that less talented teams have trouble beating more talented teams. I was being too...
