    Toro is 2-2 today, rocking a .343/.407/.576 (172 wRC+) for the month of June coming into today. I think he's the single most likely Astros prospect to be traded this deadline, and he's doing his best to boost his stock.

    Derek Fisher 3-3, HR
    Whitley 5 scoreless, 9 k
    Toro 2-3

    7th rounder Blair Henley has given up one earned run in 20 innings of pro ball. His numbers at Texas weren't great but I remember reading post-draft that his spin rates were astronomically high. Could be an upside pitcher to follow going forward.

    Framber is likely done with a 7 IP 4H 0R 2 BB 11Ks. That curve is so good, I still think he'll be a solid major leaguer, even if it's as a reliever.

    Agree, I’m more than ready for them to shift him to the pen and call him up. I think he could be an elite reliever, although probably too inconsistent to close full time.

    Agree that a guy who has walked 50 batters in 87 MLB innings probably isn't about to close full time lol

    Mitch Williams walked 62 in 88.1 innings for the 1991 Phillies to finish 6th in the cy young voting. Not disagreeing with your premise. He's just the first guy that came to mind reading this and thought that stat line was interesting.

    Yea, it can happen, just pretty rare. Mitch Williams scared people too, Valdez mostly scares Astro fans. Not saying he can't figure it out at some point, but if I found out he was included in a deal for someone in the next 17 hours I wouldn't be disappointed

    Probably Pressly, seems the injury needs time so he can return to his bad @$$ reliever form... but we shall see!

    That's huge. He hasn't had a game like this yet in 2019. This will be big for him mentally. If he can put another one together like this and hit closer to 70 or 80, then he might be out of the woods and back on track.
