I don’t know if it’s a coincidence but all of the AA SP have been extremely good since the Hooks got C Garrett “Minor League Maldonado” Wolforth....
Totally agree. He’s a 4 era pitcher if he only goes 5 but a 5.5 era pitcher if they make him try to go 6+.
He’s 25th all-time in career fwar among 2B, the active leader, no one else is even close. If it weren’t for the cheating scandal then he’d almost...
I only included players with less than 3 years of control, hence Jimenez wasn’t on the list. I can see Chicago trading him, but it would be...
Catchers on non-contenders with projected wOBA >.310 with <3 years of control left: Yasmani Grandal Salvador Perez Elias Diaz 1B/LF on...
Jimenez for McCormick actually seems like a fair trade that would improve both teams. Jimenez is a more stable higher upside bat who is limited...
Zach Daniels started a rehab assignment with Fayetteville today. Good sign that he’s coming back. Very high ceiling prospect. Gonna be a roster...
He is a fine guy to have around…as the 7th or 8th SP waiting in AAA.
Negative rumblings around McCullers. At this point I don’t think they should count on their non-Framber-Javier-Brown SP to fill more than one...
I was looking at the AL ROY race, Brown is def in the lead but there’s some good competition so far. Ryan Noda, Josh Jung, Zach Neto, Esteury...
Rhett Kouba in 26 ip in May: 24 strikeouts, 1 (ONE!) walk.
Tale of the tape, Astros vs Rangers: C: Maldy vs Heim: huge advantage Rangers 1B: Abreu vs Lowe: huge advantage Rangers 2B: Altuve vs Semien:...
Rangers spent $500M on 2 position players and over $200M on their rotation. Not like their success should be shocking.
I wonder if the shift rules might mean a player like Dezenzo is now more viable without having to adjust to hit more balls in air.
He is likely to strike out quite a bit more than Yandy Diaz. I am maybe wondering if he can be like Dansby Swanson prior to 2020 with less...
That just happened. Dezenzo is entering an extremely big opportunity. If he’s able to replicate anywhere near what he did in Asheville, it’s on.
They liked Meyers and McCormick more. There was no room for him and TB offered something of value for him (Jayden Murray and one of the prospects...
Here goes: His walk rate is identical to his career average, so his plate discipline is not the issue. His k rate is only 3% above his career...
Looks like Whitley’s velo was a couple ticks down last night. I think it’s safe to say that if he has suffered another significant arm injury...
[MEDIA] That doesn’t look good. Tough break.
