The "Peña trade discussion" is about whether he would be willing to sign a *reasonable* 5-7 year deal with the Astros, or if he wants excessive...
A fair number, although I'd still go 9 base, an extra 2 across easy bonuses (12 starts or 120 IP or 100 K?) with risers from there.
How much though? A steal at < $9M, borderline $9-14M, any more than that is too much.
HOF? I would say he is 60/40 sometime in first five seasons, and first ballot totally unlikely if he were to retire today, That goes to 80/20 in...
A possible addition to the coaching staff? https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2025/10/tigers-not-bringing-back-anthony-iapoce.html
Beltran will get in next year or the following at the latest. He was only 17 votes off this time.
Yes. What will really be on us before we know it is the first ballot questions, the "will the scandal hurt his short-term chances", the...
262 hits (2650-2388) is not happening next year. That number would match Ichiro's record. 412 hits (2800-2388) is not happening in the next...
156 hits this season, meaning he has to duplicate this season for the next four to get to 3000 (he is at 2388). The stories of the foot injury...
Cole is a prospect. 25 years old, just made it to AAA, and was not expected to be on the big league club. He was hitting the hell out of...
Almost no downside. Neris knows the system and has had success here. If Neris comes in and does well, its a cheap arm. If Neris does not,...
Hopefully returning to this team and coaching staff will help. He has been on the upswing, but stil had a 5+ ERA and was DFA by the Angels...
Possible weather issues. Thursday off would have likely turned it into an Astros travel day, and sliding a game back into it would be...
I would actually agree. It isn't "nasty", but it is mediocre with fairly poor quality control (I have a buddy who used to put it out at...
Would there be enough scoring opportunities for Jordan, Olajuwon AND Drexler? All of them had reputations as ball hogs when they were young...
Bregman's first at bat - I Agree. His second? Feel free to hurl as much (polite) vitriol as you wish. I suggest "your salsa tastes like ..."
Thank you. Posted a lot back in the day, fair bit of just logging in a reading for many of those years. To keep this on topic, what are...
I agree that is a possibility, but it is not yet the situation. The Framber issue was more about the year of his entry into the Astros system...
Framber signed as an International player in 2015. Yainer is not a star-level player yet, and neither is Jeremy Pena. Yordan qualifies (signed...
Random thoughts: (1) Good for Bregman. Congratulations. (2) Good for Crane and the Astros. Deferred or not, the AAV is silly...
