I agree and if I was betting, I would say we don’t see Smith until mid-2026. But it’s possible he comes up this season if he kicks ass.
And that can be reduced if you have Meyers or another player with plus range in CF. I’m sure a significant number of those chances were McCormick...
I still think the best outcome is trading Paredes for an equally valuable player who plays OF. If that’s simply not an option, then the next best...
Just some context for the difference Bregman makes, right now Houston is projected as the 9th best team in the league (fangraphs), 5th best in the...
Here’s the problem: the ignore feature only does so much. I’ve had your trolling inane ass on ignore since the first time I saw you post. But...
I agree, with the caveat that Dana Brown has been very aggressive with his prospects. When he likes a guy, he gets them up. Matthews was in AAA...
You’re a ****ing tool and a huge net negative to this site/community.
Here are my assumptions relative to the CBT: They were ~$4M under before the Pressly trade. The Pressly trade freed up $8.5M, putting them ~$12M...
His salary was $14M but he required an assignment bonus to make up for the difference in taxes between being in Illinois vs Texas. I hadn’t...
I wouldn’t classify him as a lottery ticket. He’s not a top prospect but he’s a legit prospect who will probably slot in the 20-25 range on...
Updated hypothetical remaining offseason: In: Bregman, Neris, Junis, lotto prospect(s) Out: Caratini, Montero+prospect, Trammell, Singleton...
No the horrible irony will be Altuve sprinting in from left on a shallow fly and colliding with…Alex Bregman.
F it, give me a Trammell/Melton/Dezenzo OF against RHP platooning with a McCormick/Meyers/Dubon OF against LHP
His arm might be the worst OF arm in MLB. He’d be average for LF at getting to most balls and fielding them. He would be terrible at getting to...
There’s an off chance that Pressly was just disgruntled. Rumors were he asked for a trade last season. So it could be as simple as getting rid...
Dang that’s not much salary relief. Pressly was worth $12M/1yr; his contract was not really underwater by much. Bello better be a good prospect...
Altuve’s defensive metrics have come down from his peak, but they’re not any worse on balance than how he was early in his career. I always...
Based on how he’s been used in his big league career, Paredes can’t play 4 positions. He can play 1B, 3B, and 2B.
He has all of 5 MLB starts at SS. At his current size he’s probably more viable in LF than at SS.
It’s gonna be an exciting next 2 weeks. I’ll be shocked if Houston doesn’t add a $10M/yr+ contract. Possibilities: Add Bregman, Paredes to LF...
