Of that we can agree. FYI newest Hall of Famer David Ortiz never had a season of 7+ WAR.
By that thinking 99% of all players will never have a peak. A WAR of 7 or above has only happened 22 times in Astros/ Colt 45s history. 16 times...
What do you consider prime years? Outside of 2020 ( which can be dismissed for a few reasons) Altuve has been 25% or more above league average 7...
It's not about not entertaining Contreras. It's about there being ZERO chance. A trade for an OF is a possibility especially with an ailing...
I would not say too much, but not structured for best benefit of the team. If the team trades for Reynolds then either Leon or Barber or both...
I forgot Springer 2014-2020.
I would say there are more than 4. I like using OPS+ for historical comparisons because it factors in home field and peer performance. 30 HR in...
I am not a Benintendi fan and feel a run producer type of bat would benefit this team more than a table setter type. Other than that I agree with...
I think they both have thecattitude and makeup to he fine. It may take a year or two before they excel but I think they will be ok. Unless they...
I would hit Brantley 8th where his contact approach could drive in Meyers and/ or Yuli and so there aren't 3 LH in 4 spots then 5 RH in a row. He...
That is reasonable.
It just occurred to me that Joe Perez is from Miami. The Marlins are flat out stacked at pitching but always short on hitting. Do you think they...
I would be fine with this offer ( eventhough I would think Teoscar Hernandez with Leon). I don't think the Pirates take it though. They will...
Yes a 29% K rate in AAA is not ideal. However the organization loves him, he has absolute SUPERSTAR talent and several things give me hope. 1)...
The more I think about it, the more I want any bat that is brought in to be a rental if he's an OF. I want the 2023 OF to be some combination of:...
I also like Reynolds a lot. I think he could be the missing piece in 2023 to transition away from Brantley. But is the cost Worth it? For this...
I haven't dived into the data But to my eyes, it looks like he has bouts of dominance and ineffectiveness. Very streaky. To me this is just...
I love Pena and he totally fits with this team. Him "not being a #2 hitter" mostly refers to his current skill level along with the current...
Maybe he isn't " as advertised" but after a terrible May, he had a very good June. He has 16 extra base hits and 0.8bWAR in only 35 career games....
I wouldn't put any stock in it. First he has said ( as did Pressly I guess) that without the adrenaline of a real game his speed will be down a...
