Apparently Boshers went to college with Craig Kimbrel [MEDIA]
If they claimed him off waivers, would they have to assume responsibility to pay him under his existing contract with the Astros? If he is not...
It's looking like the front office is willing to eat Sipp's salary if he doesn't have a good spring training.
Let's see who's in the contest... Sipp, Guduan, Gose, Boshers. Cionel Perez and Framber Valdez are also lefties likely to appear in ST but they...
Darvish is saying the Brewers have made him an offer. If he takes it and they also trade for McHugh, I guess the Brewers rotation would look...
Knebel is exactly the guy I'd target too in a Brewers deal. Not sure if they would consider dealing him in the offseason though. Brewers are very...
For sure. Here is a vintage Mark Bailey HR from 7/16/1984: [MEDIA] AB starts at 47:30 and HR at 48:45.
Some players need to be on the field half the game as defenders in order to stay focused. I think Gattis mentioned this once in an interview with...
I wouldn't be judging Gattis only by his first 150 AB's of 2018. I'd be judging him also in the context of his 110 AB's as DH in 2017 (for which...
Thanks for reminding me. Makes me wonder whether Stubbs might get some time at MMP this season (especially if there is no trade or FA acquisition).

It looks favorable on paper that the team has parted with many of the low-OPS guys from last season (Beltran, Aoki, Centeno, Maybin), but of...
Sorry if it's been posted before, but I thought this was a good article on Straw:...
You're taking my original post far more seriously than it was intended. It was meant as a lighthearted comment on how Mike Fiers made something...
Some have suggested penalizing the team that finishes dead-last in the MLB, in order to discourage teams from actively trying to lose. If enough...
Thanks for the correction. I noticed Ethier, Kike Hernandez, Utley, and Grandal in the no-hitter and also on the WS roster but hadn't remembered...
Looking at the Mike Fiers no-hitter again, it seems funny that 2/3 or more of the team that Mike blanked were also on the Dodgers WS starting...
Astros pitching finished with a 4.12 team ERA and 3.91 team FIP last year. With the improvements that have been made, the team has a real chance...
Word is that Fisher, Keuchel, and Verlander are already working out at the spring training facility.
