So, so excited for Correa. The ONLY thing he can feasibly improve on right now is the K rate. It's north of 20% right now, but I suspect he'll...
Lowrie's locked up for 2 more years, so I doubt he's the one to go in a mid-season trade. Valbuena seems like a likely candidate if Correa is...
This, too. Meanwhile, I hope the Astros are pitching a Singleton deal to every prospect that isn't a sure bet in the majors (i.e., most...
The Vogelsong thing still frustrates me so much. He's happy to make unsubstantiated claims about the big bad Astros and all their unorthodox ways,...
Kimbrel type potential? Yeesh. Let's pump the breaks. Kimbrel is one of the most dominant relievers of this generation. Nothing about...
Interesting. Kyle Smith was a pretty soft thrower, but I wonder if his velocity dipped at all last year as elbow problems surfaced. Sucks that...
Rosenthal article didn't give specifics, but it had several quotes from Casey Close, anonymous doctors, and rival execs that intimated that the...
Holy crap. There's no way the Astros saw that coming. Right?
Also, complaints that we see externally are probably indicative of larger problems internally. I highly doubt anyone's ever been traded for mere...

I've always thought Bo Porter was complicit in the whole Appel thing, too. It seemed clear last year that certain guys within the clubhouse...
Not to nitpick, but my understanding is that the Aiken decision was based not on the fact that small UCLs are more likely to lead to injury, but...
Holy crap. I'd actually be worried that he's getting too big. Can't wait to see if his ISO power numbers go up this year. He was already a...
This is really good info, thanks.
Don't people revere Ryne Sandberg as a quintessential HOF second basemen? Biggio's numbers vs. Sandberg's are eerily similar. Biggio slightly...
Me too. Just restarted the AT&T box, but no luck.
Three straight. Yay!
Sweet. Now let's fix the 3-catcher logjam.
