It’s not some kind of hard and fast prescription, just more of an expectation. Planning to have a guy healthy enough to start 160 (or even 150)...
Meh. Not ridiculous to think the backup C would play a few games at 1B. Caratini and Diaz each played 11g there last season. With no true...
He wants to play the field and its good to run him out there enough so that he feels comfortable to play the field in the playoffs if needed.
To keep him healthy throughout the season and ensure he is well rested for the playoffs.
Post-Bregman-signing hypothetical: Red Sox get: 2B Isaac Paredes CF Jake Meyers RP Forrest Whitley Astros get: RF Wilyer Abreu LF Masataka...
Playing time if Astros add Bregman: Alvarez: DH 110g, LF 20g Altuve: 2B 100g, DH 20g Bregman: 3B 120g, DH 10g Walker: 1B 130g Diaz: C 100g, DH...
You’re a ****ing tool.
I don’t buy the idea of Arrighetti potentially being better than Cease (other than potential iniuries for Cease), but I do think it’s very...
Trading Pressly and Caratini should be enough to give Bregman $156/6 and stay under the CBT. I also think trading Montero (with prospects) to...
I trust this front office but Altuve being the everyday LF sounds ridiculous. My guess would be that Altuve is telling them he’d be willing to do...
$42M/3yr is not a bad deal for Profar but it’s at the higher end of what I would have wanted the Astros to give up. Interesting to see Pressly...
You say stuff but I don’t think you’re actually doing any work to validate it. Profar projects for a ~.250/.360/.410 slash line, ~116 wRC+, and...
I don’t think any team is offering Profar money based on his 2024 performance; if that were the case he’d have already signed. Like I said, I’m...
I’m not a huge supporter of Profar. He has been a very mixed bag in his career. But hes the best available fit for Houston to improve their...
Meh. The vast majority of that was negative defensive value which is a questionable metric. He still posted a .321 OBP that year with a good...
I think these reasons are why Bregman would actually be a great fit for a team transitioning out of a rebuild. It’s why Detroit makes sense but...
As we get <70 days from minor league rosters being set, I am really liking how the AAA roster is shaping up. I think the Astros AAA lineup will...
Cash a team pays counts toward the CBT. The only reason Houston is shopping Pressly is because they need to free up money to address the hole in...
Interesting analogy. I would supplement it by saying that it’s possible that buying the new camera would increase your chances of winning a...
My conspiracy theory is that Hummel and Trammell will be competing in spring training to be the strong side of a platoon in the OF to start the...
