As long as Stassi looks good in ST, I wouldn't mind seeing Gattis get traded before Opening Day as White or Reed are probably better suited to the...
I'd like to see first if Derek Fisher can start elevating the ball. He's already one of the hardest contact hitters on the team so if he can...
Last season, MLB was pretty good about putting the spring training games on the MLB youtube channel. Often they were posted within 24 hours....
It usually happens every year that there are 1 or 2 players who come out of nowhere and amaze beyond all reasonable expectations. Conversely,...
The Astros would lose too many lady fans. The way they talk in the stands, it's clear there is just something they find irresistible about a fuzzy...
It probably makes most sense to see what Stassi (and even Stubbs) bring to the table in the first few months of the season before trading valuable...
Josh did have that horrible postseason. I wanted to think it was just a regular slump but maybe there is/was something going on in his life? I...
MLBTR says 15 to 20 teams sent representatives to watch Tim Lincecum work out. I wonder if the Astros were one of them. His fastball was peaking...

I was trying to estimate how many games the Fresno Grizzlies would win if they played in the AL this year. My guess is around 55. Though if they...
Holland is out of his mind.
Looking at the Astros schedule for 2018, it looks like May and September will be the most challenging months. I'm going to hazard some guesses at...
For the 2016 season, George had an OAA of +2 and Jake was near the top of the MLB OF list at +13. Colby and Teo both had a neutral score of zero.
I agree that usually Hinch would be better off using someone else as a pinch runner. There were only a couple of instances last season where I...
I was perusing the outfielder defensive stats at Baseball Savant and was surprised to see that George Springer isn't ranked higher. To my eye,...
There were a couple games last year when McCann got on and I really thought Hinch should have pinch-run Gattis for McCann given their pretty...
Realmuto ranks as the fasest-running catcher in MLB at 28.6 ft/sec. MLB average for all positions in 27 ft/sec and for catchers it's around 25.8....
