Damn Blanco done ****ed himself up. 2 career altering injuries at once. Brutal.
Dubon and Rodgers both in the lineups ****in why
I think Baez was working on a position change. I think Smith, Howard, and Verdugo were working on pitch development. I also think the Astros...
Yes that’s another factor. Bottom line is moving forward Altuve is likely to have fewer fielding opportunities per inning played in the field...
This aligns almost exactly with what I commented earlier this week on what the play is/should be for Altuve: 2B when flyball pitchers are on the...
The projections incorporate those 2 years where Estrada was a roughly league average hitter, along with his more recent (and likely more...
Teams don’t typically trade for good catchers midseason.
It’s probably the worst AA position player roster Houston has ever had. The upside is that the other rosters are pretty talented and in a few...
No. I assume they like what Salazar brings as the 13th man and want to keep him up, and they don’t really like what they’ve seen from Hudson (or...
Yeah Meyers is kind of a risky player to trade, from both sides. If he maintains his current level he’s a star $25M/yr player, but nobody is...
Meh, are you referencing some other projections that say Estrada is going to be meaningfully better than Dubon going forward? I would be...
Tredwell has been very effective at preventing runs and hits but with a BABIP of .220 I’m a little pessimistic about him. Brett Gillis is firmly...
I guess, but not really. Fangraphs has 6 different projection systems, 5 of them have Dubon as the better player going forward. And the margin...
A lil 3-way hypothetical while Melton has a good game: Mets get: CF Jake Meyers P Forrest Whitley Reds get: 1B Ryan Clifford P Blade Tidwell...
Not looking backward, looking forward. Estrada projects for wRC+ between 81 and 96 with 1.1 fwar over 346 pa. Dubon’s projections are for wRC+...
About 3 years too late, I have been wanting Houston to sign him for years.
Pitchers: SP Miguel Ullola, AAA: 32% k SP Bryce Mayer, A/High A: 31% k SP Anderson Brito, High A: 28% k SP Alonzo Tredwell, A: 3.15 era SP Jackson...
I think Framber and Abreu make the most sense to trade if Houston wants to entertain sell-side deals. Those are the 2 guys with a combination of...
I’m not that worried about it. Add 10 more games to 2B and 10 more games to LF. Get him some pinch hit appearances late in games. My...
Thru the rest of his contract provided he is a viable hitter, he can be deployed as such: 40 games at 2B when the Astros feature a fly ball SP 40...
