If the player option has a buyout as big as the option (like Liam Hendricks did) then it should reduce the AAV by a third.
[MEDIA] This is the start of a thread about the B game. Apparently Daniels hit a HR and a double against Flaherty, which I think is pretty cool.
Eric Longenhagen hits on the concept in this podcast. The 48:30-51:30 segment is his forward-thinking look on what prospects/players are most...
The idea wouldn't be to take any ABs from Bregman. I think Altuve and Correa's skill sets play best at 2nd and 3rd respectively, and Bregman's...
I think Altuve to CF would be a fun experiment if he were in his early 20s. I don't actually think the Astros should/will move Altuve to the OF, I...
Pena at short, Correa to 3rd, Bregman to second, and Altuve moves to CF. Stacked.
Fangraphs has a pretty interesting interview with Whitley.
I wasn't sure when it was either, but I saw that a couple of teams have done so. I suspect we'll see a number of deals this weekend with players...
The Astros can put Verlander on the 60-day DL at any time now. They'll need spots if CIshek and/or Souza make the team, but they can probably deal...
This makes sense. I thought it was odd that they would have this money available after letting their starting SS walk on a 1 year $18 million.
He was on BA's list of the best speed/power combos in his international class after signing. It's not really clear to me if he's taken a step...
i don't know why you think Castro was such an un-luhnow move. He loved his veteran catchers. They were apparently interested in re-signing him...
Brown's write-up was fun, I'm looking forward to seeing him in spring training : Brown is another of the several pitchers who blew up during Fall...
I find the Luhnow comparison to be kinda weird for a number of reasons. I don't want Click to try and be Luhnow, I want Click to try and make...
I think that a competent CF with MLB experience is such a low hanging fruit to improve the team, even just as insurance for a Straw injury. The...
With Badler being pretty on top of the international market, BA is usually fairly aggressive in placing international prospects. I wonder how much...
That reads to me that agents feel like they need him the most, not that they're the most likely to sign him. Getting creative could work. They...
I think there's a pretty good chance that it is true, but Mallex Smith lead the league in 2019 and was replacement level, so I'm not sure it means...
Win probability added is a decent way to view whether a reliever was effective in leverage spots. But yeah, since blowing a lead in any inning...
Baez's out pitch is a change up, right? Pressley is a FB-Breaking ball pitcher, and Smith is an unconventional look, so Baez might add a bit of...
