Their knock on Dezenzo was centered around issues with plate coverage, but thru almost 50 pa in AA he has a 15% k rate; I find it hard to believe...
You might be right, I just seem to remember their being more guys throwing high 90s.
Top pitching velocity notes from that list: Brown 100 France 97 Arrighetti 96 Knorr 97(!) Whitley 99 Blanco 98 Santa 97 Solis 97 I was...
Much-anticipated fangraphs list is out: https://blogs.fangraphs.com/houston-astros-top-38-prospects-2023/ They’re obviously very high on the...
I like all those prospects too, but the elite elite guys have so much more value. I don’t think Milwaukee would accept a 5-for-1 trade of...
My reaction assumes Yordan is out long enough to dramatically reduce the odds of Houston making the playoffs. He’s been carrying this offense...
I’m assuming Alvarez is out for long enough to dramatically reduce the odds of Houston winning this season. Of course this is something that...
Brewers get: OF Kyle Tucker OF Zach Daniels $1M Astros get: OF Jackson Chourio RHP Jacob Misiorowski 2B Eric Brown Jr. SS Robert Moore Brewers...
Really difficult for any team to overcome serious injuries to multiple superstars AND serious injuries to multiple SP AND absolutely disastrous...
Extremely encouraging night for Solis. Averaged almost 95 on his fb over 84 pitches, only allowed one hard hit fly ball. He needs to stay...
If Yordan is seriously injured the season is over. Trade Maldonado, Maton, Neris, Montero, and Stanek for whatever you can get. Tell teams...
Dezenzo’s body and hitting profile reminds me of a right handed Colin Moran.
That is ****ing brutal. For both Lance and the Astros. Possible Houston could get 0.8 fwar and 47.2 ip for $85M. Those are the kinds of...
In this sellers market he would probably bring back ~$50M in surplus value. So start with Gilbert. Then maybe 1-2 more of the Astros top 10...
Yes, but that goes to my point about the difference being at the top end, not depth. 3rd/4th (and many 2nd) tier prospects don’t carry much $...
I feel like Click handled the last 2 sellers markets very well. The Straw trade, dealing a fringey everyday CF in a market starved for the...
Well yes, but that’s only when evaluating with the benefit of hindsight. The vast majority of those prospects far outperformed how they were...
Hell, turns out Bligh Madris is as good as Derek Fisher.
I really don’t think the 2nd/3rd/4th tier depth is much if any worse now than in the Luhnow era; Luhnow signed plenty of AAAA roster filler (I...
Bellinger could likely be had without giving up any of Houston’s 10 best prospects. A package like Andrew Taylor and Grae Kessinger might work.
