Inside the Astros Front Office Luhnow: Hey Millsy, you know relievers can throw multiple innings right? Mills: Wait, what? Luhnow: Yea, it's...
Hmm… thanks, I didn’t know a lot of that. It’s extremely difficult projecting minor league relievers. Relievers in general are subject to huge...
A softball question but I'll take it: I expect a massive influx of talent to start arriving in Houston late next season. Give them 1 year to...
My opinion on the DSL is that those prospects aren't interesting until they at least play ball in America (GCL or higher). There's just too much...
Aw c'mon man, you can't do that. Short of the Sugarland Skeeters becoming a triple-A affiliate, I see no reason to change it. Man that would...
Added my thoughts in bold. I think what stands out from a lot of y'alls comments in the desire to know about high draft picks and big trade...
Rasmussen, dang. I made a mental note to include him and totally forgot about it. I'd slot him in after Oberholtzer and Musick. He's got slightly...
Interesting, Singleton got a nice promotion from 34 → 23 despite his awful month of June. They must have really liked his April/May. That puts him...
4) Vincent Velasquez (RHP) The former 2010 second rounder is a high-upside, low-floor pick. A two-way player in high school, the Astros convinced...
Relief Pitcher #1: Jason Stoffel (RHP) Acquired in the Jeff Keppinger trade last season, Stoffel is a career reliever dating back to his college...
A spin-off of Baseball America and Seedlings to Stars’s depth charts, here’s my take on state of Astros minor league pitching depth. As with...
Good Astros Links: Will the American League be the Only New League for Houston in 2013? A great recap of the player development contracts (aka...
I'll be frank, this content creation business you do is crazy-hard. There are plenty of minor league recaps out there, I'll probably just end up...
He's 22! He's less than a month older than George Springer. To me it seems like he never got the chance to stay at a given level and make...
You'd think that but inability to take a walk is a huge red-flag, especially in the lower levels. Young pitchers with poor/developing control tend...
A fanastic write-up of DDJ at FakeTeams
His season stats are fine but his June stats were atrocious: .148/.317/.235 . I didn't even know a .235 slugging percentage was possible. He's...
I wrote up a brief blurb on him in my promotion prediction thread. He's having a good year at AA (3.68 era and a K/9 of 9.7) but I don't think...
If i remember correctly, we offered 6/$100m and he signed for 7/$119m. Another year at $17m is not negligible.
True. But personally I think this is rather an instance of a prospect horribly rushed through a system and then dumped when they signed his...
