This seems like a trade that makes no sense for anyone. What does LA need with a $20MM pitcher with a 6+ ERA the last several years, and why are...
They tried to add 2 months of non-free-agent Harper last year - not 10 years of record-contract-Harper.
Berkman / Beltran / Biggio was pretty good in 2004 with 0.800, 0.900, and 1.000 OPS hitters. 2003 featured a 0.900+ OPS Hidalgo instead of...
WAR the last 3 years (excluding Brantley's missed year): Reddick: 8.8 ('16-'18) Brantley: 9.1 ('15, '17-'18) Springer: 12.7 ('16-'18) Machado:...
Unless it helped Houston win a World Series, which may or may not have happened without the trade. In that case, it was a good trade regardless....
Because that's all they are getting specifically out of a trade. Unless he signs an extension early (fewer players seem to do that these days),...
Possibly, but all it takes is one injury for him to become a full-time player. Bregman, Correa, and Springer all were major contributors within a...
That's easy to say now, but people tend to feel a lot differently and have a lot less patience once the rebuild actually starts - and of course,...
Agreed here. If Charlie Morton is healthy - and I have no idea if he is - I'd much rather have spent that same money on him over a Brantley-type.
No team plays perfectly every game, but I believe whenever the Texans finally face one of those teams, they will lose by double-digits (barring...
I think the following teams are a clear tier better than the Texans: Chiefs Chargers Rams Saints Bears Patriots, Steelers have more variability...
If you're hoping to sign a player at a reasonable price, you generally don't talk about how amazing he is and how he's probably going to get a...
Exactly correct. BoB's problem is not a lack of aggressiveness - it's that he never has any clue what is the right time to be conservative or...
Getting crushed in the pocket because you don't throw the ball is not a way to stay healthy.
No one was thinking "Thank God BoB is our coach!" Why not try that earlier?
But running the clock gives the Texans about a 95% chance to win the game. If you throw there on 3rd and 10, let's give them a generous 50%...
Eating the 40 seconds on 3rd down is the smart move there - I think most coaches do that. It might be different if you're playing Brady or...
Watson's problems today are not on the O-Line. Sometimes the defense gets to him quickly - that's true of all QB's and OLs when you're blitzed...
As a division winner, they would be the 3rd seed at worst. Wildcard team is the #4 seed and would play the #1 seed. Similarly, the Astros had an...
At the end of the day, I don't think Harper is going to get the deal he's looking for. I would't be surprised if Washington's offer was as good...
