Absolutely fantastic coverage of the trade from Baseball America and Baseball Prospectus Good coverage from the Blue Jays perspective at...
John Sickel's thoughts on the trade Sickels' opinion on the trade:
Agreed, but the Astros weren't going to sell low on Happ just because he didn't fit the park.
My guess is that Perez and Wojo round out the top 10 and Musgrove is 11-15ish. Rollins is probably in the 20-30 range. Wojo has a 3/4 (MOR)...

Yea, I think he's on-pace to get enough innings in HiA to merit a look at AA next spring. His peripherals are all worse than in LoA but not...
Shades of grey most likely. The mom didn't win any mother-of-the-year awards herself by cutting off the father's access to his 2 y/o daughter with...
200 ab's is usually a good number for promotion consideration and the short-season leagues are roughly halfway there. There's a ton of prospects...
Exactly. One of the both great and terrible things about MLB is the lack of salary cap. It adds a huge measure of drama between the haves and...
What an unnecessary addition to the CBA.
It sounds like the mom and dad both made decisions that adversely affected the child. The dad made the more obvious headline-capturing decision...
