He's a topic of discussion on at TCB. He's a former 1st round Luhnow pick who has shown power and speed in the minors. He at least has upside while legitimately being able to backup 4 infield spots.
Garbage in, garbage out...... Astros trying to catch lightening in a bottle... no real harm when you are on pace to lose 110 games.
is this the first move that starts the domino effect of luhnow dealings with the cardinals.. :grin: i jest..
If you consider that we were 22-23 at one point, it means we have gone 14-54 (.206). With 49 to play, that would be 10 more wins for the rest of the year giving a 46-116 final record if we maintain that .206 win %. So 120 losses wouldnt require much of a downturn.
This is a good buy-low. Greene always had good minor league numbers and he has good tools. Maybe a change of scenery guy.
