Back up catcher, bullpen arm, Altuve extension. Anything else would be a big surprise.
The top baseball decision maker is the same guy (Zaidi).
Silly. Giants traded Dubon to Houston for Mike Papierski in a roster dump. They’re not going to turn around and give away one of their best...
Brown’s comments really seem to be tamping down expectations. Taking him as his word, 24 spots are taken: C (1): Diaz IF (6): Abreu, Altuve,...
**** ALL of that.
https://blogs.fangraphs.com/2024-top-50-mlb-free-agents/ Good values and/or guys I like for Houston from that list: SP Jordan Montgomery...
Probably nothing. Montero’s contract is only about $10M underwater total. That’s not enough to warrant seeking out a salary dump. Who knows how...
Sure. A throw-in, same as somebody that gets traded for cash. Negligible value.
Yes I am assuming he’ll get another option year. He’s certainly been injured enough to qualify. If not then he’ll be either traded or on the MLB...
Expected 2024 opening day pitching staffs: AAA: SP: Arrighetti, Dubin, Whitley, Gordon, Kouba, Blanco, Tamarez, Solis RP: Mushinski, Gage,...
Wow Macuare and Taveras are surprises. I did not know they were slated for free agency.
Not a terrible idea. Limit him to 60 pitches. Basically a starter that only goes once thru the order.
He has almost no trade value. I can’t see any team giving up anything for him outside of maybe a team looking for AAA depth giving cash...
I can certainly see the desire to fully exhaust any chance Lance can be a SP given how valuable they are; and that goes both ways, as it’s obvious...
I can imagine a playoff bullpen that has a healthy Pressly, Abreu, McCullers, Brown, Garcia, Montero, and Graveman would be pretty damned nasty,...
Projected 2024 Opening day lineups: AAA: CF Hamilton 2B Leon SS Whitcomb 1B Loperfido 3B Wagner RF Julks LF Dirden DH Costes C Salazar Bench:...
I don’t expect Dirden will be a factor. He’s 500 pa deep into AAA and has been consistently awful over that time. He doesn’t have loud tools so...
Arizona Fall League ends this week, Astros have been a mixed bag: Dezenzo 779 ops Corona 729 ops Palma 284 ops Gaither 1.08 era Blubaugh 2.45 era...
Yes, I seems like Crane’s mo to the GM (both Click and Brown) is “here’s your budget, if I see someone I want then we will go over, but for guys...
At this point I would almost rather have Altuve DH and Alvarez in LF with Dubon covering 2B than have Alvarez at DH with Altuve in 2B and Meyers...
