Kid looks destined for 1B.
Who knows Crane’s thinking, but the value proposition for ToR SP, RP with an elite pitch, and (to a lesser degree) difference-making hitters is...
I can’t see how Houston could afford Josh Lowe considering the season he just had (20 HR 32 SB). But we are in big time unknown territory because...
Snell
Even tho my comments have been pro-Soler, I agree with you. I also think people are sleeping on Joey Loperfido as a potential mid-season...
There’s a lot of good names on that list that I like. Really only Mullins and Friedl would be super expensive. I think all of them except Waters...
That’s a good deal for the Dodgers. $11M is meaningless to them and he has the upside to be a playoff SP. Yamamoto, Glasnow, Buehler, Paxton,...
Only 3 free agents fit that description: Cody Bellinger, Travis Jankowski, and Tony Kemp. Bellinger is a star who would displace Meyers as the...
He played 154 games in 2023 and 133 in 2022. Outside of 2021 he has been very healthy. His power was down in 2023 which may have been due to...
Springer’s contract is not really even under water. If they want to dump him they will be able to. How awesome would it be to get him back to...
Dang, I liked Gage. I would have let Cronin, Mushinski, and Ortega go before Gage.

While on a projected $/war basis, the Hader signing is not a good value and thus damages the Astros long term outlook from that perspective, the...
Garcia is definitely worth a rotation spot when healthy. He was a 2-3 win pitcher over his 2 healthy seasons. Both he and McCullers are solid...
When accounting for injury risk and track record, I think there are only 5 free agent SP available who project to be better than Urquidy: Snell,...
McHugh was awesome. Next to Morton, probably my favorite pitcher personality on the team over the last 10 years. Just seems like a really cool...
In terms of overall production, Soler projects to be nearly the hitter Altuve does. If you can plug that into LF and have McCormick in CF, that...
Soler is a premier hitter but hearing them as targets gives me terrifying “unannounced injury to Yordan or McCormick” vibes. I am kind of in the...
I wouldn’t mind seeing Garcia and McCullers tandem start, paired with France and Urquidy in a 6 man rotation. Would keep everybody in the...
Zach Dezenzo is Baseball Prospectus’ #44 overall prospect on their recent Top 100 and was on MLB.com’s recent list of most underrated prospects....
