Santana's still so young and still strikes out so much that an extra couple hundred AAA bats won't hurt. (Of course, he's listed at 21 years...
Love it. The stuff about the Astros' poor defense seems suspect, though. I'm not sure how UZR calculates its Range component, but it seems like...
I should have just posted them: Dominguez: .264/.322/.447, 7.5%BB and 18.4%K, wRC+ 113 Rendon: .271/.318/.452, 6.8%BB and 15.6%K, wRC+ 110 I...
For fun, check out Matt Dominguez's numbers compared to Anthony Rendon's. Very similar players, really, and Rendon is only about 10 months...
When we talked about the tandem hurting some pitchers' results last year, I remember Tropeano's name coming up. I think it was on a Crawfish Boxes...
The front office usually cites health as a reason for keeping the tandem system. Compared to other minor league systems, we apparently had...
I've been to three games so far this year. Always move around field level seats as I please. You must have had a bad usher.
Nearly all prospects struggle initially after they get promoted. It's not a big deal, especially for a fringe-y B- type prospect like Emmanuel.
Preston. Tucker. So much to like about him.
I was at the game. Pretty decent crowd, actually, because it was $1 hot dog night. Probably about 15k in the seats.
I agree with everyone here that's growing tired of Altuve's mental mistakes. I know we signed Altuve to a (very reasonable) extension and all, but...
Three strikeouts too. Smh. Love the dingers, but he's going to have to learn to use the whole field.
Wednesday's game is on ESPN2, so the world gets to see Lucas Harrell. That should be... fun.
Is Granville an actual lawyer? Like, licensed and all? That is terrifying.
Yep. This is a useless thought exercise, because those seedings would look much different without conferences.
This. Changing arm slots generally tip a major league hitter to your off speed stuff. Pitchers get away with it in the minors, but big league guys...
Ditto. I may average about 40 year though. Dunno.
Nice contract. It keeps the $$$ in line with his value as he gets older, and it also has a nice PR benefit of making the payroll seem larger next...
Very interesting about Meyer. Always sounded like his glove is big-league ready, but I wonder if the bat could ever play at that level. I imagine...
This guy doesn't know or understand very much, but he likes to talk a lot. Everyone's favorite person!
