The All-Prospect Position Player Team thru 2 months: C/1B Walker Janek, High A: 111 wRC+, 12 SB C/1B Will Bush, High A: 134 wRC+, 7 HR, 16% BB...
Since May 1, Doobie has a 120 wRC+ (4th on the team). Interestingly, the only player with a wRC+ <100 since May 1 is Walker (min 50pa).
I’m thinking Ullola may be just 3-4 more good starts away from a callup. Not like Gusto or Gordon have locked anything down.
Altuve sure is getting a lot of time back at 2B recently. I guess it’s just because Caratini has been hitting so well.
So Javier and Garcia on track for late August. France will be back on the mound in late July (in AAA).
Biggio’s 2006 (age 40) season was weird, he was basically the same player, just a step slower. K rate and walk rate and power numbers were all in...
Yes, they have; a serious injury to a teams hall of fame DH or losing 2 SP for the season in a span of a week, or having a guy who hasn’t pitched...
Meh. Between the injuries, unpredictable rookies, and declining performance of older players, this team’s projections have legitimately changed...
I would consider that a pretty awful trade for the Astros. Estrada is not much better on offense than Dubon and worse on defense.
Kiley McDaniel updated his org top 10 rankings over at espn: Top 10 Prospects RANK NAME POSITION PREVIOUS RANK 1. Jacob Melton CF 2 [IMG] 2....
Giants DFA Lamont Wade. Wouldn’t mind Houston signing him to a minor league deal. Lefty on base machine who can play LF/1B. Just got hurt then...
The playoff roster could be STACKED. SS Pena: playing at an MVP level 3B Paredes: playing at an All-Star level DH Alvarez: MVP caliber if he’s...
Astros showed they can extract good value out of a rental superstar with the Tucker trade. So we can revisit potentially trading Yordan in Nov...
Melton needs to play every day or be in the minors. He’s too good of a prospect to play <80% of the time. My plan would be to move Altuve back...
I understand the logic, and the idea that Altuve may spend the last 2 years of his contract/career being unplayable in the field adds to the...
Nowhere near enough. If another team had Yordan, I would expect Houston to have to give up Smith, Melton, Matthews, Arrighetti, Ullola, and...
It basically never makes sense to trade a superstar (MLB top 20 position player or top 10 pitcher) with more than 1 year of control remaining;...
There’s really no precedent for trading a player in Yordan’s situation: one of the top 5 hitters in all of baseball with 3+ years of control...
There are probably 5-6 teams that Meyers would be their all-star.
IF Alberto Hernandez has 7 doubles in 89 plate appearances this season. That’s as many as he hit in 271 pa last season. If Hernandez can hit 30+...
