Yeah an NL contender who needs SP but has a good 2B they can part with seems like where the fit might end up being. The Reds might make sense. If...
Giving up players just because you have other players doesn’t mean they don’t have value. Donovan is a 2-4 win player. Crediting him a full...
You’re missing the point. I was responding to a commenter asking about lack of draft capital, so I was just listing out the prospects that got...
He has only overseen 2 drafts, was picking at the back of both of them, and didn’t have a 2nd round pick last year (due to signing Hader who had a...
It seems like there is so much swing and miss in Houston’s farm system right now. Among hitters with 50+ pa, they have ONE player with a k rate...
With the caveats that he has been working with dramatically reduced draft capital and it’s only a month into the season, the early returns on the...
K rate totally fine. BB rate totally fine. Exit velo totally fine. All plate discipline numbers totally fine. His barrel rate and hard hit...
I wonder how long it will be before a team gets a gigantic competitive advantage by being the first to effectively use AI to analyze video of...
Yordan’s luck has been ****. His xwOBA coming into tonight was .382 which is elite and just south of his career wOBA of .402.
I’m pretty sure Chas McCormick is a really weird mf. Not sure at all whether that’s in a good way or a bad way.
They just need to pull the trigger on one or more of the following: Playing Rodgers every day for a month to determine if the experiment worked....
Yes but I find it odd that they would abandon the Altuve in LF move. I’m actually curious how bad Dezenzo would be at 2B. Todays lineup aside,...
Any of Bregman, Polanco, or Arenado would look great in the everyday lineup in place of Rodgers/Dubon. Brown knew who to target.
Sure why not
I just feel like if they’re able to consistently beat these types of mediocre teams it means their lineup and pitching staff have settled in and...
Bold prediction: if the Astros win 5 of their next 6 series (Royals, Tigers, White Sox, Brewers, Reds, Royals), they will reach the World Series.
Managing the clubhouse/culture: 70% Lineups: 10% Bullpen usage: 10% Bench usage: 5% Face of the team: 5% I personally don’t think there’s a whole...
Dubin is probably strictly a RP at this point. I think every team should strive to have 3 pitchers they are comfortable starting in a playoff...
The development of Matthews and Melton over the next 60-80 days is probably very important to how the Astros will approach the deadline. Its very...
Definitely a reasonable take. But a lot of us probably saw Loperfido the same way you see Dezenzo, and there were some who saw Bloss as a dude...
