Well elite is a very subjective term. I would say by elite I meant 2-3 pitching prospects ranked in the 50-150 range in MLB. That by itself...
Those were my considerations (along with ability to win) when I put together that list. You gotta figure she can stay in NY if he goes to the...
I believe Houston and NY to be the only AL teams Verlander would agree to go to. I imagine he’d also accept a trade to the Dodgers, Braves,...
Yep, I have been saying since last year that Houston’s system has excellent pitching depth, as there are literally dozens of guys with very good...
I hope you’re right as that would lead to a more active and Astros-friendly deadline.
I think if Houston trades for Verlander they will require NY to put in at least $20M (assuming the option year becomes guaranteed).
Not a bad hypothetical trade but Verlander has a no-trade so it is likely he will require that option to become either a guaranteed year or a...
Solid return for the Rockies but nothing crazy. I would guess a comparable return from Houston’s system would be something like Forrest Whitley...
The AA rotation is doing pretty well and looking very deep since they added Gusto and Macuare. Add those 2 to Gordon, Kouba, and Robaina and...
Quincy Hamilton has quietly gotten off to a great start in AAA. Thru 128 pa he has a super low 15.6% k rate against a solid 11.7% bb rate and is...

The last week or so hasn’t really done anything to loosen the trade market. The Guardians, Mariners, and Angels all are within a game of .500 and...
Every batter in the Fayetteville lineup has a hit today. It’s the bottom of the 2nd with no outs.
Untouchable: Altuve, Yordan Godfather deal: Bregman, Tucker, Framber Star-far-Star: Diaz, Pena, McCormick, Brown, Javier, B Abreu, France,...
Calling up a guy who has been well below average in AAA all season and terrible the last 3 weeks so he can “get a shot” is an….interesting idea.
Pedro Leon has a .587 ops in July.
Grae Kessinger sure has shown well in his limited opportunities. He only has 28 pa but he’s walked as much as he’s struck out and has a wRC+ of...
The Astros minor league bats have gone kind of cold this month. These are the only players who look like they’re making any kind of case for a...
