2016 Astros Minor League Thread

Here's the numbers from Aug 1-Aug 14. Definitely an improvement.

Code:

BB%	K%	BB/K	AVG	OBP	SLG	OPS	ISO	Spd	BABIP	wSB	wRC	wRAA	wOBA	wRC+
12.10%	22.40%	0.54	0.294	0.379	0.373	0.752	0.078	3	0.378	-0.2	8	2	0.367	132

 

Myles Straw has reached base in 13 of 20 plate appearances in Lancaster.

 

I did what I was asked, based on how I feel compared to what Jon Sickels does with his grades.

But yes, it is pretty pointless from me.

 

This is a legitimate C- post.

 

I don't know what to think about this post. It almost feels that it's giving out a message, you can't have an opinion?

Question, what would make Snake Diggit's opinion noteworthy? Maybe a poll. Rely on a reference?

 

Thanks for posting.

He should be an interesting one to follow next year -- he'll presumably add more weight this offseason, and start out there next year as well. That should start to give us a sense of how soon he can start to unlock the power the scouts expect him to have.

 

Everything is wonderful. Some things are useless.

@brianmctaggart what is the punishment for the woman who couldn't listen?

 

if people only posted about **** they were experts on, this board would be awful quiet. I'm just trying to generate discussion. I don't pretend to have any kind of special knowledge.

 

Holy ****, really?

Adios, mofo.

 

Please, don't let my b.s. stop you from doing or saying anything. I really don't care, I just occasionally talk a little ****.

 

He was going to be lucky to stick around based on his poor play, so this was a no brainer.

 

Opinions are what makes the message board.

 

I thought it was pointless arguments.

 

That, and awesome youtube clips.

700 OPS .... In the words of Hawk Harrelson "He gone!"

800 OPS.... "You are done for the season!"

1.000 OPS ... "We are committed to getting him the help he needs."

 

Julio Lugo vs Aroldis Chapman?
