Real talk: our best lineup probably has Preston Tucker at DH and Gattis on the bench. Outfield of Rasmus/Gonzalez/Springer. Puts your best bats...
He's always had contact issues, if you believe the scouting reports. More recently though, prospect writers that have seen him have said he...
Heartbreaker of a game. We made some mistakes. That happens. When was the last time we were blown out? These days, it feels like our losses are...
Sweet. Extremely comforted to know that the front office won't budge from their valuations. Let's ride.
Woo! I was excited about it. It was nice to finally see an actual, recent scouting report about him. Now we at least have *some* information...
Aaaand this is what started this whole conversation. We were never saying that Martin is a superstar. It's just criminal that he hasn't been...
Exactly! We've been spoiled by Carlos Correa. This franchise may not see another Carlos Correa for the next 50 years.
See, that's the thing. I haven't seen any scouting reports on him this year because nobody seems to be talking about him. The scouting reports...
Baseball Prospectus's "PECOTA" projection system uses decades of data to find similar players to prospects, in terms of similar performance at the...
He hasn't been mentioned in a single article on fangraphs or Baseball Prospectus. No idea about Baseball America. Honestly, I think he's...
My guy Jason Martin went 1-3 with a HR and 1 BB. Who wants a ticket for the bandwagon? Dude is 19 years old still. Hitting .294/.363/.450 in...
The Chris Broussard of Houston sports media.
Pretty much. I was also thinking aloud that, generally, the Luhnow regime has been better at identifying pitchers at the MLB level better than...
Actually, I'll take that back. We've discussed White's defense at 3B before, and it's awful. He posted a .914 fielding % at AA. So far at AAA,...
By all accounts Tyler White is an awful defender, but man, posting a wRC+ of 142 at AA in 236 PAs and wRC+ of 204 (!!!) at AAA in 88 PAs is no...
Rehab aside, it's surprising for a low-level prospect in a trade for a reliever to perform as well as he has. It's a really, really nice surprise.
Two guys that have been incredible surprises this year, for me: Francis Martes and David Paulino. Both big arms that we acquired as young guys...
As for lack of success, probably a tie between Ronny Torreyes and Joe Sclafani. Both guys were tabbed as potential utility guys at the MLB level,...
Jason Martin, for sure. His advanced feel for hitting (15% K-rate, 9% BB-rate), and surprising power (.158 ISO) in his first year of...
At 23, he's still old for his level. If he has success in AA as a 24 year old, then I'll start to entertain the idea that he may have a future at...
