Fangraphs said he was sitting low 90s last year, so this could be a significant leap for him if he can maintain it. Of course striking out hitters...
He had a pretty dang good season last year for a small school reliever starting the season in Asheville. Looks like he could add some weight still...
121 MPH is like Stanton raw power.
Wonder how old Espinosa actually is. I liked him a lot more than I do most prospects that get traded for guys in DFA limbo. Cabbage seems like a...
Sign Joey Votto to replace Singleton and see who can resist cheering for him to get a ring.
If a Montero clone was available for the minimum salary right now, I think he would be the type of arm I'd like them to buy low on. If they could...
I remember someone described him as LH Logan Cerny, but at least he made the jump to high A better. I definitely share your skepticism. I don't...
Technically it was like 45 days, but the international scouts clearly had an impact on the trade. It's nitpicking, but he's the biggest success...
The whole Astros-Dodgers collusion narrative never made sense to me. The Astros could have given him the same bonus the Dodgers did like 15 days...
This, though with not being rule 5 eligible, there's less incentive for the Astros to try it. Arrighetti/gordon/kouba are looking like nice AAA...
Right, I get what you mean. I mostly used your comment as an excuse to talk about France. JP France just kind of broke how I typically think about...
JP France seems like an easy comp for any sort of overachieving Astros pitching prospect. Not that it's bad, but there was never really any reason...
A couple of interesting performances in the DSL: Julio Marte 4 IP 3H 0R 0BB 5K. He's a 6'5" 180 lb 20 year old who now has 49Ks vs 12 BBs in 36...
In addition to starting the triple play, Will Wagner went 5-5 with a HR and a double. Too bad injuries pretty much made this a lost year for him.
So one thing I noticed about him today, he gets hit with a lot of pitches. He got hit twice today, bringing him to 20 on the season. He's been hit...
Ryan Gusto went 5.1 IP 0H 1ER/R 2 BB 11Ks. The one run scored when Diosmerky Tavares couldn't strand the runner at first. He had an ERA of 20.25...
I would think in general teams want their best prospects playing in games, no matter their age. The complex leagues seem a little bit different...
Miguel Ullola had a nice outing yesterday, striking out 8 over 4 innings. Over his last two outings he has a ridiculous 19 Ks to 2 BB in 8.2...
The FCL Astros and Marlins combined for 31 walks, which is particularly impressive in a 7 inning game.
Sandy Mejia went 5IP 1 H 0R 0BB 10K in the FCL this morning. He's a 19 year old 6'0" Dominican righty now with 32 strikeouts to 7 walks in 21.1...
