There There are basically bench 2 spots up for grabs, with Kessinger and Singleton the leaders heading into spring and Cabbage next in line....
1: Without more info on “dominant” means, I’ll go A. 2: I’ll go A but I think they’re both very unlikely.
I’m borderline predicting Hunter Brown or Cristian Javier win 20+ games. Those guys can be electric thru 5 and things will be on lock after that.
This is definitely the most excited I’ve ever been about Houston’s bullpen. Not only the 3-headed monster of Hader/Pressly/Abreu, but the huge...
https://blogs.fangraphs.com/zips-2024-top-100-prospects/ More negativity. ZIPs is extremely low on Houston’s farm. None in its top 100, only 1...

Houston has no prospects on Fangraphs 2024 Top 100, which was released today. In the AL West: Rangers (3): Langford, Carter, Walcott Mariners...
Matt Chapman. His AAA k rates were over 30%, and thats why he was lower down on prospect lists. But he had tremendous defensive value, hit for...
Reading the blurb on Chapman made me wish Houston had just let Pedro Leon play only CF rather than trying to force him into having utility...
Interesting read, and shows how difficult it is to predict how prospects will pan out, even for people who do it professionally. One takeaway I...
Contracts I’d be cool with for remaining free agents: Snell $80M/3yrs with opt outs after each year Montgomery $110M/4yrs Chapman $150M/6yrs opt...
Prospects I think have legitimate star ceiling (ignoring bust risk): C: none (although I am interested in seeing what CJ Stubbs and Will Bush do...
Great post. I agree that now that it’s established that Crane is willing to stretch and consistently maintain a top 5-7 payroll, it makes more...
https://www.eastvillagetimes.com/padres-sign-mexican-of-oliver-carrillo/ Interesting background. Odd that he never got stateside. Looks limited...
I am always happy to see anyone as interested in Astros prospects as I am and that can help generate conversation, so I’m sorry if I was harsh on...
That’s very interesting and hard to understand. That change means draftees won’t get competitive games unless they are placed in full season...
I am skeptical that Tucker will be worth $300M but he will get it. He’s a 4-6 win/yr player who will be 28 when he reaches free agency. He...
$250M/7yrs is a very reasonable expectation for Bregman in free agency if he has a decent season by his standards. An mvp caliber season probably...
Absolutely not worth it. Any team that signs him has no integrity.
If Dezenzo fully blossoms he has a chance to be really good, but even if he just has an upward trajectory he might project as someone like Ryan...
