France throws 95-96 when he wants to. Kouba topped out at 93 last night, who knows if that’s actually his max but that’s a meaningful difference.
Based on his savant data from last night he is a low velo guy (sat 91 on his fb) who appears to get guys to swing at pitches outside the zone by...
Rhett Kouba was promoted to AAA and started tonight’s game. AJ Blubaugh was promoted to AA and also started tonight.
He’s very likely played his way into being added to the 40 man roster this fall. Hard to see a team exposing a young 30 HR SS to the Rule 5...
Pleasantly surprised with what Encarnacion has shown this season. Only 20 and held his own in full season ball, showing average power with an...
My belief is that Ohtani needs to be limited to <140ip and 400pa. That likely means a team that signs him needs to have a 6 man rotation and a...
It is true that the Astros would likely be out of the playoff picture this season without Tucker. But projecting forward if you let Tucker walk...
My guess is that they did that with confidence in at least one of the following: Gilbert, Lee, and Clifford will not pan out into star players....
Houston doesn’t have any bad LONG TERM commitments, so adding 1 big contract beyond 2025 is not likely to be a huge burden. The real question is...
It is going to be very interesting to see how Houston approaches the big 4 pending free agents (Tucker, Framber, Bregman, Altuve) this offseason....
Some of end of season roster moves: Tyler Whitaker was promoted to High A Juan Santander was promoted to Fayetteville Sandro Gaston was demoted...

From the Finishing Strong Department: Pedro Leon has a 957ops since Aug 1. JJ Matijevic has a 927ops this month. Since June 1, Aaron Brown has...
My pitcher candidates would be Guilfoil, Blubaugh, DeVos, Knorr, Santos, Ullola, and Chaidez. If Santos really has turned a corner then AFL would...
Altuve Bregman Alvarez McCormick Tucker Diaz Brantley, Singleton, or Abreu Pena Meyers, Dubon, or Maldonado That should be the lineup every...
That sounds like a great idea. AFL candidates: Miguel Palma Cristian Gonzalez Tim Borden Logan Cerny Jacob Melton Zach Cole Zach Daniels
I am really anxious to see how many current FCL kids are assigned to Fayetteville to start next season (and how many 2023 draftees are then bumped...
I would rather continue to run Singleton out there at 1B. He has walked as much as he’s struck out and had terrible luck on batted balls. His...
Thoughts from the last week in the minors: Nice to see Loperfido off to a good start in AAA. Nice to see Miguel Palma pick up hitting well after...
Drew Gilbert has been a below average AA hitter since he got to the Mets and Ryan Clifford has a 43.5% k rate for the Mets High A affiliate. I’m...
