Any of Whitley, Dubin, Ort, King, Montero, VanWey, or M Castro have the stuff to be a very good leverage RP. Scott is probably due some...
Astros playing to their strengths but yeah if Garcia and McCullers are toast they better hope those young SP are ready to roll. Im not worried...
Yeah that’s not right. The money NYM sent to Houston reduced JV’s CBT hit for Houston.
That’s not how it works.
What ever money the Astros send to the cubs will count against the CBT.
Bello looks like exactly the type of prospect you hope Houston gets in a trade like this.
Wonder how much money Houston is sending. Pressly was an utter badass for a long stretch. As money as a RP can be expected to be, especially in...
I firmly believe the Astros are already under the CBT (probably by somewhere between $2M and $6M). But even under the most pessimistic estimates...
https://www.mlb.com/news/mlb-top-100-prospects-by-club-2025#alwest Smith (#59) was the only Astro on the mlb.com top 100. A’s had 2, Angels 2,...
Yordan is the DH and they are trying to get him less time in the field, not more. Like I said, if Paredes can play 50 games in LF, then that...
If he can play 50-60 games then he can play 100. You don’t run a guy out in a position for 400+ innings if he can’t play it passably. Like I...
Gotta figure we’ll get a final answer on the Pressly trade in the next 4 to 28 hours. Cant imagine they’d give him more than the weekend to think...
It’s risky, but with an utterly stacked 1-9 lineup (which would be the case with Bregman resigned and Framber bringing back a good OF), I’d go to...
How would we feel about a rotation of Brown, Blanco, Blubaugh, Arrighetti, and Scherzer?
If Houston signs Bregman and doesn’t think Paredes can play OF most days, they have a problem. The idea of moving Altuve to LF is ridiculous....
A few weeks ago while I was in Vegas I tried to get 2 different casino sports books to give me a futures bet on Dezenzo to win ROY. They wouldn’t...
Some Paredes hypotheticals: Astros get: IF/OF Jeff McNeil OF/IF Jett Williams OF Drew Gilbert $12M Mets get: IF Isaac Paredes OF Jake Meyers...
I don’t see any way Houston can shop Framber if Garcia and McCullers are gonna be out until after the season starts. That would be an extreme...
I was one of McCullers’ biggest defenders/optimists but I stand by what I said last month: if he doesn’t pitch in the majors by April 30th, his...
Boras might not be a “bad” agent but at this point it’s pretty clear he’s not getting all of his clients a better deal than they’d get using other...
