I didn’t but the Simulation did.
His wRC+ is now better than Maldonado’s.
Both Whitcomb and Hamilton homered again for Sugar Land tonight.
Smyly is a 2 win pitcher when healthy. He has been extremely effective so far this season. He has an extra season of affordable control. Hes...
Hard to value Stroman because he has an opt out after this season. That adds downside. I think something like the Bellinger/Smyly trade I...
God damned good to see. If he hits 15 HR this season I think he will be worth his contract at least for this year.
Another Baez HR today in the FCL. That’s 4 HR in his 1st 24 pa. If he goes another 3-4 weeks without cooling off then he should prolly move up to...
Astros get: OF/1B Cody Bellinger SP Drew Smyly Cubs get: OF/IF Joey Loperfido RHP Spencer Arrighetti OF Corey Julks RHP Forrest Whitley Playoff...
The more I look at it the more it seems like the poor results this season are a result of bad management and bad luck rather than bad roster...

Ideal solutions to all of Houston’s problems: Diaz plays more at C Brantley gets healthy and takes over in LF Abreu finds the fountain of youth at 1B
I don’t believe Maldonado has any desire to be the manager. I think he wants to be exactly what he is: a pro athlete whose glaring measurable...
What are the odds Houston adds both a C and a LF (either of whom could siphon time at 1B if needed)? To me the only clear place to add an...
One thing I’d wondered about and never researched until just now is how attending FCL games works. Best I can tell, admission is free to those...
I honestly don’t care about the batting order, I just want to see them consistently play 8 of their 9 best active hitters.
