Fangraphs updated their depth charts with Caratini and he projects for 1.5 fwar over 257 pa. If he puts up that level of production for $6M that...
In which I speculated the Astros would sign Victor Caratini for $12M/2yrs 6 weeks ago.
Add Yariel Rodriguez and Jordan Hicks and I’m ready to go to opening day with that roster. 2B Altuve 3B Bregman DH Alvarez 1B Abreu RF Tucker C...
Nah, they had a starter who played less than the backup. ;)
We’ll wait and see what the contract details are but Caratini was first on my wishlist for the backup C spot. A good defensive catcher who switch...
My WAG from reading too much into Dana Brown’s comments: he’s close to acquiring Dylan Cease or Tyler Glasnow. One of the prospects going back to...
It would not surprise me at all if Houston’s 2023 season hinges on Jake Meyers and Hunter Brown.
2024 all in and pay the tax 2025 all in but stay under the tax; strive to have 4+ QO players 2026 soft rebuild, QO’s give them 8-9 of the top 100...
The Angels are screwed under the burden of the Rendon and Trout contracts. Once Rendon went bad, Trout started getting hurt all the time, and...
Giants *should* be able to field a top 5-10 payroll and their only current commitment beyond 2025 is Logan Webb’s team-friendly extension. Their...
Barnhart hit over .220 in 7 of his 10 MLB seasons. He projects for .217 in 2024 so I’d say it’s close to 50/50 just for him. I am warming to the...
A bit odd to me they’ve signed 3 pitchers who should slot into the AAA roster. Does not bode well for lower tier AAA guys like Jayden Murray,...
F all those options except maybe Barnhart and that’s only because he has a tiny bit of upside and would only cost the league minimum. I would...
I am just happy it doesn’t look like he is going to the Rangers, Mariners, or Yankees. Ohtani on the Blue Jays is not ideal but better than...
Any notion Whitley had of being Gerrit Cole or Justin Verlander or Clayton Kershaw and banking $300M in his career while racking up 200 inning...
A lot can change over a year and even more over 2 years. Yainer Diaz was a throw-in prospect in 2021. He was a ROY candidate 2 years later....
Brewers have extra OF now that Chourio will be in the majors. I doubt they’d trade Frelick but Garrett Mitchell might be an interesting target....
Pretty big that he got another option and even bigger that Brown announced he’s a RP. They’re going to get something out of him this season, even...
Glad to see Ben Ziedman got a job with a legit site. He is the best Astros prospect writer I’ve seen. Interesting to see Wagner, Bloss, and...
Astros get: OF George Springer IF Tucker Toman SS Josh Kasevich Blue Jays get: RP Rafael Montero UT Mauricio Dubon $6M Springer doesn’t make a...
