I agree with everything you said. Im not offering Valdez anywhere near market value. Too much risk especially given Houston’s financial...
One interesting note is that both Pena (3.000) and McCormick (4.000) sit on an exact even number of service time. Optioning either player for...
Yes, as weak as the “names” are in the current OF depth chart, the actual projections aren’t that bad considering they are mitigated by the rest...
I think it’s one of two things: either the FO knows he’s permanently injured and is just playing it out given his contract (and will just continue...
Arbitration filing deadline is today. Wouldn’t shock me to see Paredes extended. Abreu is the only other realistic extension candidate but I’d...
Yeah that was a big part of the reason he was available in the 13th round. Honestly the fact that he was able to improve at football and lead a...
Relax. Patience wins the day. They will make a move sometime in the next 10 days.

I think unless he gets seriously injured, he will get 300. He will force himself out there and play for the minimum if that’s what it takes for a...
MLB Pipeline did a survey of front office folks on the best tools in the minors. The only Astros prospect mentioned was AJ Blubaugh for “Best...
Extremely high strikeout rate (along with his towering size) shows there is probably quite a bit of ceiling there. His walk total shows the...
They also signed IF Zack Short, which makes me think Kessinger must’ve gotten claimed.
He looks fat.
McCarthy easily has twice as much power as Straw. Theres a difference between a double and a HR, and McCarthy strikes out a lot less than Meyers.
I think Jake McCarthy is a great fit for the Astros and I think Arizona is the type of place Pressly would go to. Astros get: OF Jake McCarthy P...
Reds just traded for Gavin Lux. Wouldn’t surprise me if they turned around and sent one their other young infielders to Seattle for Castillo.
