It depends on how they want to allocate playing time. I certainly don’t see any scenario where Whitcomb and Guillorme both make the team. I...
I don’t consider those stats meaningful at all, but if we’re looking at the eyeball test, I like what I’ve seen from Smith, Dezenzo, Guillorme,...
Hahaha yeah some of those DSL kids look like they’ve lied about their age in reverse.
[MEDIA] [MEDIA] Couple of interesting tweets from the Astros Player Dev account. SS Wilton Lara has been promoted from the DSL to the FCL.
If Houston had a player expected to play 140+ games at 2B then Dezenzo would be fine as the backup there. But really with Altuve and Dubon locked...
I think sometime next week will be hatchet day where a whole bunch of guys get sent down and a lot of minor leaguers get released.
His lateral quickness is one of his weaknesses. He probably wouldn’t be embarrassing at 2B, but he would not be good.
I assume that Rodgers has an opt out in his minor league contract that lets him go back to free agency if he doesn’t make the opening day roster,...
Yes. 7 guys still vying for 3 spots: Gamel, Singleton, Guillorme, Rodgers, Dezenzo, Whitcomb, Smith. The beat writers all seem to be assuming...
Today’s lineup might be the opening day lineup if Walker isn’t back in time. Maybe Meyers starts over Dubon.
The Astros did draft a lot of power/speed guys with strikeout risk, but that’s because they have not had top draft picks; guys with 50+ hit/power...
But AJ Reed sucked. Targeting guys like him doesn’t seem like a great strategy. I think if there’s a takeaway, it’s that the bust rate for...
Hahah I’m pretty sure that’s what every team does (try to find players who can hit for power and get on base).
Springer and Teoscar Hernandez are the 2 guys who had high k rates in the minors that went on to be good big league hitters. It’s really rare for...
Someone brought up in another thread (where the conversation was around Melton) the idea of starting a thread about all the “everything but a hit...
I didn’t say he was a poor defender. I said he’s was worse than Meyers, which he is. McCormick was one of the worst players in mlb last season...
Paredes is a far superior player to Valbuena.
Because he is not as good on defense and is coming off of a much worse season. McCormick was one of the worst players in MLB last season.
If the staff is optimistic about Dezenzo then he should be on the roster over Singleton. I like this opening day lineup/roster: LF Altuve 3B...
Nick Hernandez ain’t it.
