Astros rank by position for projected war for remainder of the season: C 16th (tied for 12th rounding to nearest 0.1) 1B 12th (tied for 7th...
Christian Walker is among the top 10 qualified 1B in the league in HR and defensive war, but he’s 20th in offensive war and 18th in total fWAR....
They are very comparable. I think Siri is/was a better defensive player than Cole, while Cole probably has a bit of added value since he bats...
Every start by Arrighetti and Javier is crucial. One of those 2 guys must show they can confidently be tagged to start Game 3 of a playoff series...
No, Cole does not have the same power as Gallo, but he does probably have 60 grade power, and he is a better athlete with more defensive and...
With Yordan back the lineup is plenty good enough to win it all. And the 2 headed monster at the top of the rotation will make them competitive...
Branyan is a good comp for his bat. Cole would have more defensive and baserunning value.
Adam Dunn struck out in only 28% of his career pa and didn’t go above 30% until his 30s. It’s a pipe dream to envision Cole lowering his k rate...

Urias should have caught that throw. The interference was a big rookie mistake, especially glaring for a guy who is supposed to be a heady player...
Salazar is a good player, I’m starting to love him. He’s like Dubon, if Doobie batted lefthanded and played catcher.
Nice
That list looks like trash. They need to adjust their formula. Hader is hurt so he will fall off. A RP with a 4.69 era (Hoffman) is not getting...
Astros Controllable pitching analysis: Brown (2028): Ace Javier (2027): looking decent considering the rust. Can be penciled in as a #4 SP but...
It looks like Jacob DeGrom is the only realistic threat to Hunter Brown finishing in the top 3 in the CY. Trevor Rogers, Bryan Woo, and Drew...
