For some reason every time I saw the name Roilan Machandy it got stuck in my head. I had mixed feelings when he was released. Roilan Machandy....
He’s doing his usual thing where he gets hot for large parts of April and May. He’s hitting the ball a little harder than normal but there’s...
90% of players career best season happens between 25 and 32. Players are almost always in decline after 32 but it’s reasonable to project most...
I don’t think the Astros can trade Hader if they want to compete in the 2025 postseason. I think they’d be better suited to shop Abreu to see if...
What’s nuts is Meyers probably produced like $5M worth of value in today’s game.
Jake “Extension Candidate” Meyers.
Dezenzo looks overmatched. I think he should be sent down.
Altuve has a chance to be the ONLY player other than Willie Mays to have 3000 hits, 300 HR, and 300 SB.
I can envision a scenario where the market breaks just right and Houston adds a controllable ace (Alcantara?) which opens the door for trading...
I think the Astros are going to treat this as a must-win, playoff-type series. In an early season tight division race, you don’t lose a series...
I don’t think it’s at all a certainty that Houston will be rebuilding in 3 years. The Astros’ contracts for their good (3+ fwar/yr) players are...

Hahah. It seems like you’re getting ganged up on in this thread, but I think the backlash is more carryover from the game thread where it seemed...
Holy has 21 stolen bases in his first 30 pro games. Very likely the ceiling of a bench player but worth watching how he does the rest of this...
For everybody writing off Blubaugh after he gave up 7 runs in his big league debut: Stat line from major league debut: Blubaugh: 4ip, 2er, 5h,...
I’m still in wait-and-see on all of them except maybe Cam Fisher. Pretty clear he’s not a pro-level player which is a bust for a 4th rounder.
Checking in on how the position players from Dana Brown’s first 2 Astros drafts are doing: Name Level wRC+ Brice Matthews AAA 112 Cam Fisher High...
https://blogs.fangraphs.com/yordan-alvarez-and-the-replacement-level-bunch/ Article on Yordan’s rough April. Looks like he just isn’t making as...
Age 20 season in A ball: Player A: 11.5% bb, 14.6% k, .173 ISO, .296/.385/.469, 140 wRC+, .45 SB/G Player B: 7.6% bb, 11.3% k, .137 ISO,...
What exactly was “exposed”? He showed elite ability to get whiffs and limit walks. He gave up too many of hard hit balls but how could you look...
