On the one hand it really sucks to draft a guy in the mid-1st round and then a year later he is the #1 overall pitching prospect in the league and...
A low key one shot deadline: Astros get: SP Andrew Heaney RP David Bednar 2B/LF Adam Frazier Pirates get: OF/1B Luis Baez P AJ Blubaugh RP...
They are coming into the easier part of their schedule. The next 3 weeks should be fun.
Every RP on their staff has elite stuff with high leverage lockdown potential. Whitley and Sousa and Dubin have gotten off track with injuries...
Damn Blanco done ****ed himself up. 2 career altering injuries at once. Brutal.
Dubon and Rodgers both in the lineups ****in why
I think Baez was working on a position change. I think Smith, Howard, and Verdugo were working on pitch development. I also think the Astros...
Yes that’s another factor. Bottom line is moving forward Altuve is likely to have fewer fielding opportunities per inning played in the field...
This aligns almost exactly with what I commented earlier this week on what the play is/should be for Altuve: 2B when flyball pitchers are on the...
The projections incorporate those 2 years where Estrada was a roughly league average hitter, along with his more recent (and likely more...
Teams don’t typically trade for good catchers midseason.
It’s probably the worst AA position player roster Houston has ever had. The upside is that the other rosters are pretty talented and in a few...

Meh, are you referencing some other projections that say Estrada is going to be meaningfully better than Dubon going forward? I would be...
Tredwell has been very effective at preventing runs and hits but with a BABIP of .220 I’m a little pessimistic about him. Brett Gillis is firmly...
I guess, but not really. Fangraphs has 6 different projection systems, 5 of them have Dubon as the better player going forward. And the margin...
A lil 3-way hypothetical while Melton has a good game: Mets get: CF Jake Meyers P Forrest Whitley Reds get: 1B Ryan Clifford P Blade Tidwell...
Not looking backward, looking forward. Estrada projects for wRC+ between 81 and 96 with 1.1 fwar over 346 pa. Dubon’s projections are for wRC+...
About 3 years too late, I have been wanting Houston to sign him for years.
