I do wonder what will happen if they don’t agree on an int’l draft. I’m assuming a team with a player finishing 2nd or 3rd in ROY would get...
Very safe to assume his next stop would be Florida and the complex league there. But since he’s already 19 there’s an outside shot they could...
Career average is 94.8 in games so I think 92-93 is fine given it’s just a pen and he’s working his way back and very likely being cautious....
Astros signed a DSL prospect who’d been released by the Phillies and Dodgers: https://www.milb.com/player/victor-diaz-682770
I will add this about Gaston, and it is something I mention during spring training: while DSL stats are usually pretty meaningless overall and...
One reason targeting a bat even tho Gurriel has turned it around a bit is that in a tight playoff game there will almost certainly be extremely...
Astros get an extra draft pick if Pena finishes top 3 in ROY voting so it would really suck if that didn’t happen.
Can’t wait to see how he does once he moves up. DSL Astros have 8 players with ISO over 150. Have to go back to 2016 for a season that matches...
Not bad, I would think Blanco and Solomon would be enough on their own.
Whitley is probably the highest ceiling pitching prospect the Astros have ever had. The flashes he has shown in velocity, spin, variety, and...
A stupid org like the Rockies would probably place a lot of value on Whitley. How about: Rockies get: RHP Forrest Whitley Astros get: RP Daniel...
I don’t know; one of the reasons I really really like the current Astros roster is that there don’t seem to be any douchebags or low character...
Castillo trade way too light. No way the Reds do that. Swap Leon for Whitcomb and maybe it’s in range if the Reds really like Urquidy which I...
Averaging 95 on his FB is pretty damn encouraging.
Welp. He gave up 2 er in his 1st inning, so not a great start.
Whitley. Pretty easily in my book. But Brown is very likely to end up posting more MLB value.
Prediction for Whitley’s July-August: 32 ip, 9er, 43k, 17bb He hits those marks he will be ready for a callup.
Brinson, Barreto, Edwin Diaz, and Scott Manea seem to be 4 pretty obvious release candidates if room is needed for promotions. Brinson might...
I think Carlos Santana is a very good ultimate ceiling comp for Diaz. He was not a good defensive catcher but his bat was good enough to justify...
The backup catcher only usually catches 40-50 games, so Diaz could still have a lot of value even if he isn’t a top notch defensive catcher....
