If they didn’t that seems like a pretty big misfire. Someone said 1.5 and we aren’t particularly close to that but 1.25 is within range.
The difference between a 650 ops and 900 ops is greater than any value (questionable) Yuli brings to the table at 1B imo. They certainly wouldn’t...
Yuli has negative WAR on defense. He’s below average in OAA. There is no statistical evidence that Yuli is still good defensively.
That record against sub 500 teams is only 112 wins. Not good enough. 103 win pace against teams over 500. Almost acceptable. Almost.
Because he’s way the hell better than Yuli. And there’s no guarantee Brantley comes back tip top shape either.
I’d be really interested in talking to Javier right now about a 5/40 million dollar extension. he signed for dick, he has made not much money yet,...
There’s also a decent chance that the reds might prefer Garcia. They are cheap and he’s got another year of working for minimum wage and Javier...
That would be my preference as well. The argument for Castillo is he’s got a higher floor and he’s much less likely to throw 100 pitches in 3.1...
Agreed completely. I’d have a hard time giving up much more than Javier for Castillo. He’s got 2 more years of club control than Castillo and he...
Man I’ve been banging the drum on riding the entire Whitley roller coaster all the way through since it has that greater than zero chance where he...
I’m not greedy. I will take 11-8.
Framber, Garcia and Javier almost all have to be in a trade value column. My sense is Altuve is too old and makes too much money to be really...
OH yeah Mr. Smart guy? If you extrapolate all that out to a 162 game season that would only be 120 wins for the Astros. Everyone knows that...
Presley too and we’d just played a double header and had a brutal travel day. With a full bullpen I think they’d have scored 4 runs over the 3...
We’ve got 37 games against teams within a couple games of 500. Tiers- shitty: 10 Oakland, 8 texas, 6 angels, 3 Detroit, 2 Arizona right...
Although he’s not overly sentimental, I think he values continuity and probably doesn’t like change. He didn’t want out of Detroit and then he...
Boston is worse than both of the other but it’s all scumbag city.
That seems like an imminently reasonable package. Both teams would be better for doing that.
Garcia by himself should be more valuable than Castillo by all $ and War matters. I’m ok with them asking for more but not our top prospect,...
I mean- this series would have been even more lopsided if we cared enough to pitch our leverage relievers. Most of their runs came against...
