I'm curious about the aggressive approach. The Braves were aggressive promoting, and Dana has been quoted multiple times about how he likes...
Is it time to consider a switch to Davis Mills for the rest of the season?
I've been consistently lower on Melton over the last year, relative to the national publications who pretty consistently have him as the Astros #1...
Great list Snake, agree with most of it. One guy I would have higher and who I am watching closely next year is Anthony Huezo. Recently promoted...
Those quotes from Luhnow are interesting. From the very beginning, he was completely convicted in what he wanted to do with the organization....
Can we justify even having Verlander on the playoff roster at this point?
Playoff 4 man rotation: Valdez Brown Verlander Kikuchi Playoff 9 man bullpen: Hader Pressly Abreu Neris Scott Ort Arrighetti Blanco King or Ferguson
Yainer has been one of the top two developments of the season*, IMO. Since June 1, Yainer has been a .900 OPS catcher and has clearly gotten more...
As crappy as this season has been at times, it's hard not to be excited about the playoffs this year. We're set up pretty well. Great top 3 SP in...
Melton is similar to Jake Meyers. I haven't seen enough of Melton in the outfield, but I assume he isn't as good in CF as Jake. Regardless, 111...
He's been doing this in AAA too (this year at least, I haven't really paid attention to him before). I saw a quote from him a while ago that he...
I'm guessing he'll be one of the September call ups, with Salazar being the other. I hope before September they cut Aledmys and put Whitcomb on...
Just this season Jordan Montgomery signed for $25 million. I would call him a MOR.
Count me in the "middle of the rotation" camp for Spencer's future, which is still "a really really good pitcher." MOR in the MLB gets $25M+/year....
Dezenzo is batting 6th today. It won't be long before he's slotting in every day in the 5 spot. Next year's top 5 looks good: Altuve 2B Tucker RF...
He's already there. Dezenzo is the every day 1B now.
This offseason, I would offer Kikuchi $54 million over 3 years, hopefully with the third year being a team option or vesting option. That replaces...
Great list, tellitlikeitis. I agree wholeheartedly that there's a clear 1-2 with Matthews and Dezenzo. I think our system may be a bit underrated...
Dezenzo is a dude - another home run tonight.
Melton has been showing some nice EVs since he was called up. 108.8 tonight on a lineout. Gusto threw 6.2 scoreless, seems like he's ready.
