The top Astros prospects in 1998 were: Richard Hidalgo, Scott Elarton, Wade Miller, Lance Berkman, and Daryle Ward. All were on Baseball...
You are right. Solid #3 pitchers are a dime a dozen. I am sure the Yankees would be ecstatic to trade him for a long reliever, a back end top...
I would expect the Yankees to be looking along the lines of Martes, Whitley, Abreu and M Sierra. Pineda is roughly the equivalent of McHugh, and...
I would make those trades in a heartbeat, which tells me that the Yankees and Rockies would not.
And here I was thinking this thread was about the signing of Cionel Perez
Okay, fine. They cut Castro and Gattis. Who do you think they should replace them with?
If average and strikeouts were good indicators of a players performance, I would agree with you. However, there are so many better indicators,...
I don't think you actually have a point considering I did not exclaim the virtues of Jed Lowrie, other than to say he was not a negative player...
Okay, is that how it works? So if Lowrie has a good year next year and put up 2 WAR with no contribution from McCurry, then Luhnow lost the...
Could be. But that also means that his first 75 at bats, those before his injury, must have been really, really phenomenal to end up with 1 WAR...
I would guess that it would actually decrease the number of extra base hits, since there is less field area that needs to be covered by the...
Fine, you choose to see bums, I choose to see solid prospects. To each their own.
It is not a big deal if we see things differently. And by that that I mean that you are seeing it incorrectly.:grin:
He certainly had a bad year for the A's, but he was not a negative player for the Astros. And if saving that small amount of money (for...
I see at least two legitimate prospects on each level. I suspect that is better than you will find in most, if not all, systems.
My guess is that if McCurry reaches the majors, it will be for another team. I question whether he will get a 40 man slot, and therefore, gets...
While his soft contact is high at 25%, his hard contact rate is 29.2%, which is higher than Altuve has ever had prior to this year. I think he...
Appel did not have TJ surgery, he had bone spurs removed. However, VV had TJ a few years ago
I do not see him making top 100 lists right off the bat. I think he slots in the back of our top 10.
I will agree that Collins bat is pretty good. But that same bat is much better if he can stick at catcher than it is if he is a first baseman....
