This lineup is nowhere near 2017. The 2017 team had a 121 wRC+ which is third highest of any team since 1980. The only two higher teams (excluding...
Bregman's first full season of minor league ball was 2016. He was the ranked first overall by some outlets before his call up that year.
Rockies players home/road splits are meaningless and have zero predictive value. Rockies hitters perform worse on the road than any other team...
Bregman to 2nd and Altuve to LF would make the most sense. Paredes has no business in the outfield. He is slow-footed and has the body of a 53...
I really like this pick. Despite being known as a speedster he had some of the highest exit velos at the draft combine this year....
Basically if you wanted to predict how Yainer's (or any player's) platoon splits would look next year, merely using the average RHB split...
It actually takes 3,000-4,000 PA for a hitter's actual platoon splits to better predict their future performance than generic platoon splits.
[MEDIA] Chris Clegg talking about Luis Baez and his statcast numbers last year in the DSL. He notes that Baez's 90th percentile exit velo was...
Here's an interview with Kris Gross. The interview starts 7:30. He's quite high on Tredwell (not surprising as he's the scouting director). He...

Unrelated to Yainer, but I heard a prospect guy saying Zach Dezenzo's 90th percentile exit velo this season is 108mph. That's some serious juice.
The Astros currently have 3 of the 18 worst hitters in baseball by wxOBA (150 PA min). Corey Julks is in the running for the worst hitter in major...
In college he hardly hit the ball on the ground. It's possible whatever changes he made to cut his K rate affected his batted ball profile. Here's...
He really isn't. Lots of Ks, no walks, and middling power (.119 ISO). People greatly overrate players with empty batting averages. Look at Dubon,...
He's so good. [IMG]
Corey Julks is running a 80 wRC+ which puts him at 20% worse than a league average hitter. The sad part is he has been extremely lucky. His wOBA...
Considering Arrighetti's previous start and Robaina's tonight, maybe Garrett Wolforth is that good behind the plate.

How about a couple post breakout breakouts? Whitley and Jairo Solis. Whitley obviously needs to stay healthy, but I don't think most people...
