Colton Gordon has the best xFIP in baseball among rookie SP (min 30 ip). He is 37th best overall; lowering the threshold to 20ip shows Brandon...
One shot one kill trade: Astros get: LF Ryan O’Hearn CF Cedric Mullins SP Charlie F’n Morton $10M Orioles get: CF Jake Meyers P Colton Gordon P...
****! Dubin was great, track record for Astros pitchers who come down with “forearm strain” is…not good.
If you would have said “he’s playing at his ceiling” that would have made sense. But describing a 4 win pace player as having a “low” ceiling is...
I agree, I don’t really think Eflin would be a target for Houston. Merrill Kelly seems like a fit. It would not shock me to see Houston swing...
That’s fine I guess (even though I don’t agree), but that doesn’t affect my point: from little league to D1, almost without exception, player...
Kikuchi was pretty bad right before Houston acquired him last season. Verlander was mediocre before Houston traded for him in 2017.
Seems like they expect there to be a lot of SP available. That plays into Houston’s strengths, and it wouldn’t surprise me if they targeted...
I had high hopes for Cerny. Plus CF defense, speed, arm, power. Just too much swing and miss and looking at strikes.
Your last sentence is completely wrong. If you don’t think D1 baseball programs have any interest in player development then you simply don’t...
I’m sure there are certain types of pitchers who Trammell projects to hit better than Dubon (and maybe Walker at this point), and certain...
I think something like Gordon and one prospect like Knorr or Whitcomb would be enough and I’d probably be ok with that trade, although I wouldn’t...
If Trammell isn’t somebody you plan on playing a lot, he’s got value. Hes got 30 SB speed and 20 HR power. He is almost certainly never going to...
I think that’s a pretty big overpay by Houston but that may be what it takes. I would not want Houston to make that trade.
He’s been below average, not necessarily bad. But his expected numbers are about average or maybe slightly above average. Hes posted the best...
Unfortunately the only thing to read into the Astros signing Singleton is that they are worried that they will have an opening for a lefthanded...
Describing Jake Meyers, who is on pace for 4+ fwar: “his ceiling is quite low”. LOL no. Other than that I agree with it all. We are on track...
Yes I think Castro is a really good fit. My current top 5 targets: Gavin Lux Willi Castro Nolan Gorman Pavin Smith Brandon Lowe I think O’Hearn...
I think you’re right.
My hope: Minor but effective deadline adds that don’t cost major prospects. Ideally a controllable LHH who can play 2B. SP all get healthy and...
