He is not embarrassing in CF but he is better suited to a corner.
I expect Houston to sign one of Abreu or Bell and likely another decent OF bat (Benintendi, Conforto, Haniger, Brantley). They will (wisely) stay...
That was before they resigned Montero. They’re 8th now. Bullpen war projections are notoriously fickle no matter the site. But you can look and...
The Fayetteville lineup should have a lot of upside next season. Gilbert, Melton, Clifford, Whitaker, and all the 2022 later round picks who have...
I would say these prospect lists aren’t necessarily good for predicting which prospects will succeed or how good they will be, but they probably...
My prediction: Judge - Giants Turner - Phillies Correa - Dodgers Rodon - Blue Jays DeGrom - Rangers Bogaerts - Mariners Swanson - Angels JV -...
Good trade for the Angels; their lineup now goes legit 7 deep when everybody is healthy. Sadly for them they are still a SS, a ToR SP, and half a...
https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2022/11/offseason-outlook-houston-astros-13.html No revelations but solid summary: Houston has needs at 1B, LF/DH,...
I would not want Houston to trade Urquidy straight up for Happ. But they actually have pretty good farm depth so if they threw in an interesting...
I agree with this, Benintendi makes good sense for Houston going back to before this years deadline. Happ as a trade candidate also has made sense.
Doesn’t strike out much, decent middle infield defender. Solid AAA stash considering how weak Houston’s upper farm depth is at 2B/SS. Sucks that...
Wouldn’t surprise me if both Verlander and Correa ended up on the Dodgers. Also wouldn’t surprise me if Judge and Turner ended up with the...
Looking at potential minor league deals, here’s a list of position players I wouldn’t mind Houston signing and stashing in AAA in case of...
Yes. Which prospects in Houston’s system would he ask for in trade? Has he been contacted regarding the Astros GM job? If he were GM what would...
I don’t see much chance he ever walks as much as Santana. In a good outcome here would be the ranges for some key stats: K 15-20% BB 5-11% HR...
The projections like Tellez a lot. His projected .346 wOBA would rank him as the Astros 5th best hitter just behind Altuve’s .352. But yes, a...
It’s not that black and white. The trade options have wOBA projections between .330-.345; Abreu/Bell project for .348/.343. Factoring in defense...
1. Abreu 2. Bell 3. Yandy Diaz 4. Christian Walker 5. Garrett Cooper 6. Rowdy Tellez 7. Yuli Gurriel+internal options
Not sure why Christian Walker is so popular a target. He’s coming off a career year in his age 30 season and has only one year of control after...
It’s fine to label it an overpay; it is probably best for Houston to hold off on extension talks with him until next offseason. But Altuve just...
