Reddick is a good platoon player, but compared to other outfielders on team like Margo, he's not worth 3X Gonzo's salary. Or perhaps I should put...
I heard the same thing last year about Gomez from the Rangers locker room. He still sucks! Of course, Yuli can hit, but why take such a risk on a...
Oops, screwed up reply again.
See below.
Bill Gates $ is an understatement.
Team RISP is now 1 for 30 thanks to disastrous batting line ups!
$16M for a 40 year old DH-LF who hit 29 HRs? There's much better investment options than that! And Gurriel who finishes his swings with one...

No, I really don't follow MLB. Only the Astros. Does the NBA and NFL have farm teams for those who aren't ready for NBA or NFL? Which of our...

Just saw this reply. More Devo from middle relief to set-up/closer. More Feliz/Peacock/Hoyt appearances over gregerson/Harris in middle relief.
For simplicity, I've categorized our players as either table setters or RISP beasts. It's a controversial stat (updated today) but it really...
It's May 19 and Altuve & Correa still have a low RISP, but still batting 3rd & 4th when they should be batting higher in the order for RISP beasts...
Kinda like stubborn Hinch stuck it out last season with Gomer thinking his numbers would rise while the BBS was screaming to release him!
Bats came alive in May, not April. There's always room for improvement and records are meant to be broken.
