Here are the only position player prospects who finished last season at High A or higher who have not appeared in a major league spring training...
https://blogs.fangraphs.com/szymborskis-2024-booms-and-busts-pitchers/ Brown is one of fangraphs picks to breakout and it certainly looks...
I think Houston’s 10th thru 20th position players compare favorably with most teams. They don’t have elite prospects peppered throughout their...
Sure seems like starting pitching health and teams’ ability to acquire starting pitching at the deadline will determine who goes to the playoffs....
Strotman and Contreras have shown the best of all the fringey arms Houston added for spring. I doubt either will make the roster but both have a...
I love McCullers. He’s a gamer. I have a signed Greeneville Astros shirt I got from him when he was in the minors. I’m OG LMC SIUEFA fan club....
https://www.chron.com/sports/astros/article/lance-mccullers-injury-rehab-18889715.php I think it’s probably past time to give up on the idea of...
I feel like Drew Stroman has had a good spring.
RP I would ask other teams about if I were Dana Brown: Brooks Raley, Hunter Harvey, Trevor Gott, Joey Wentz, Alex Faedo, Jalen Beeks
If Houston wants to upgrade from Singleton then Brandon Belt is probably a much better value than JD Davis. That said, for <$5M/yr I wouldn’t...
First I’ve seen of Ochoa going both ways. He did get up over 95 mph in a PG showcase so he’s got a cannon. But he’s got a high enough ceiling as...
https://www.mlb.com/news/astros-spring-breakout-roster-2024?t=mlb-pipeline-coverage Spring breakout prospects rosters were released this morning....
That is really interesting. Gives hope that maybe some of Houston’s prospects can at least work out to be about what Springer was his rookie...
I have always wondered how George Springer developed the way he did. In his 2 minor league seasons and rookie year in the majors he struck out...
My hope is that the FO isn’t just playing the numbers game of hoping if you compile enough speed/power/strikeout guys that one will figure it out...
He wasn’t in their top 30. I was just making a list of the guys on the top 30 who had blurbs that mentioned their power potential of 25+ bombs.
Assuming the cost is super low he would be a good fit as the bench OF. He’s out of options and strikes out too much. But I would imagine a...
Those write ups seem a little better this year. 25+ HR potential: Jacob Melton, Brice Matthews, Luis Baez, Waner Luciano, Camilo Diaz, Cesar...
I wouldn’t mind Houston signing Adam Duvall, Robbie Grossman, Tommy Pham, or Jackie Bradley to a minimal 1 year deal to be the primary backup OF....
That would be a good deal for Houston. With 2 more seasons like the last 3 he will be a $250M+ player in free agency.
