Tucker hits LHP better than RHP and Reddick hits RHP better than LHP, so at least they have complementary platoon splits.
That's what I meant -- that he'd be allowed to sit in the dugout wearing a grey jumpsuit or similar. Similar to how Sipp and Fiers and White hung...
can't they invite players to travel with the team in the postseason without starting their clock in terms of arbitration? In the 2017 postseason...
If Fisher is hitting for about a .800 OPS in the first half of the season like I expect he will, it's going to be difficult to justify calling up...
It's a good point to keep in mind. At least two of the pitchers the Astros faced in today's game against Boston had never pitched above the A+...
Looks like Reed should ask to try his hand at pitching. He's not getting anywhere offensively. Pull an Anthony Gose in other words.
Then again, Reed used to pitch in college. It might be fun if Hinch would give Reed a few innings on the mound.
Davis started 4 games at 1B between AA and AAA last year. He also played some 1B in college.
In his first major league AB there, Reed took a walk so you don't get to see how he was swinging the bat. Here is a double he hit in 2016:...
For reference, here is A.J. Reed's very first major league AB on June 25, 2016: [MEDIA] I haven't tried to compare his batting mechanics today...
K Tucker, White, Davis, and Fisher probably get to start today's game. Everybody has been marveling at Tucker's swing and that is much deserved....
Reed had a great spring training in 2017. He can have another one this year. It mostly comes down to some combination of luck (babip gods,...
the sadder thing is, at least two of the pitchers Reed faced today had never pitched beyond AA. It's not exactly like he's getting struck out by...
Reed has begun ST going 1 for 11 with 6 K's.
That's two diving catches in a week for Kemp. Somebody must want a big league job.
There must be a professional nutritionist attached to the Astros minor league system who advises the players on how to eat, no? It should more or...
I think technically the Astros could declare him ready to play 5 days earlier than he really is, and then have him serve the suspension in his...
Tyler White hit .217 in 2016 with an OPS of ..664. After retooling in the minors, he hit .263 in September with an OPS of .791, about 40 points...
I'm not sure how long it took players with similar surgeries to recover. I seem to remember Max Stassi had a similar surgery a few years ago....
If Yuli were out for a few months, I don't see it having a severe negative impact on the regular season. The Astros are fortunate to have Marwin...
