Any further development of Gustave and Guduan is pure gravy. The pen is stacked with much better options right now
I'm surprised that they think he wouldn't just make it through waivers if outrighted at the end of ST.
Derek Fisher doing Derek Fisher things, not making contact (3ab's with 3 K's). Love the tools but I never see him hitting enough for the majors....
I don't think there's anyway he plays himself into a roster spot; the only route I see is significant injuries to multiple people. Even then...
Random question. What's the deal with Brad Peacock? He's getting a fair amount of mentions in ST. I know he's out of options but are there really...
I bet Aoki gets a buncha meatballs too.
I'm not saying everyone has to have a crazy obsessive focus like Madison Bumgartner, but I can and do expect a certain level of professionalism...
True about the relative lack of question marks but the guy listening to effectively wild is going to appreciate middle relief/backend rotation...
I never got into effectively wild but Fangraphs podcast with Cistuli and Dave Cameron (and previously Kiley McDaniel) is a regular listens. I had...
BTW if people want more audio content about the Astros, effectively wild (the former BP podcast now on fangraphs) just posted their season preview...
Just throwing it out there, singleton was probably in the same situation and never adjusted to the league.
Pretty happy with the choice of McMaster, although as has been mentioned it's ironic they're going with an outspoken intellectual for Trump's NSC.
None of the guys mentioned are above-average CF defenders like Marisnick is; they're all likely average CF at best. That being said, Marisnick is...
The Astros of late do have a seeming history of guys coming in and immediately underperforming their career/recent numbers. Those .220 averages...
It doesn't look like reed dropped any weight but who knows. I can't tell the difference between 275lb and 260lb very well.
Anyone who watched Bregman's first 32 AB's didn't see a guy who was consistently being overmatched. If someone happened to scout the stat-line and...
LMJ needs to learn to pitch off his FB more often. It's more of a show-em pitch despite being mid-90s. His curveball usage is unsustainable.
The more I see Martes and Perez getting the prospect respect they deserve, the less inclined I am to want to trade them. Paulino and Perez need...
I agree it would be really shoddy of the White Sox to base their eval on the industry publications but from a PR standpoint, it might be more...
I wonder if industry publications now putting those guys higher up the lists increases their attractiveness to the white sox in a Quintana deal.
