That's similar to what basketball and hockey did to curb cap manipulation re contracts for older players.
If the Astros have a .840 to .860 hitter at DH next season, they have a heck of a chance to repeat. That’s an amazing lineup 8 deep to go with...
If he’s a regular to start the season and he hits anywhere close to what he did at AAA last season, he’s going to find consistent ABs. Wouldn’t...
Yordan is your starting LF and Brantley isn’t likely to be ready for the start of the season. If they sign him, given his age and history, I’d...
If your stance is that your opinion matters more than others because you can afford floor seats or front row tickets behind the team bench, it’s a...
Don't think we are actually saying different things. Schwarber was my go to example for a low average, high walks, good power guy. Joey Gallo is...
It's fine. But you've definitely put the cart in front of the horse. If those guys develop that way, great. It's highly unlikely both do, and...
He's 24. It's time. And he can best develop at this point seeing MLB pitching.
So far those two guys have shown that they are effective at one of those three things.
Absent any further signings, I think Yainer has a real chance to stick with the big club next year as the everyday DH. Hits for average, hits for...
I won 13 games and somehow get to play the winner of two teams with the 2nd / 3rd most points. Fantasy sports is super quirky. Wish I was the...
I remember people touting Leon as a possible CF option for the Astros last offseason. Problem is he hits .220 - .230 and strikes out a ton. Low...
Second best record but 6th in total points. Seems like Itz Ice is the team really getting squeezed this year.
I like Jansen and would probably do that deal. But it's hard to chalk up Urquidy's success to luck when he's had similar results for his entire...
Assuming she is noncooperative, it comes down to if they can prove it without her, or not. Even if the charges are dropped, it doesn't mean the...
As much as I love what Yuli has done for this team, the idea that he can play multiple IF positions at his age is fanciful. It would be nice, but...
The likely alleged conduct is that he choked his wife or girlfriend.
Either all these owners are equally dumb, or you’ve misread the market. The going rate for a player is whatever teams are willing to pay....
Like you said, he's not a PG, he's a combo guard. I think he's a bench combo next season asked to play to his strengths in limited time, without...
I think you'd be surprised. Those stats would be the result of high volume, low efficiency. A Dollar Tree Westbrook making $18m per wouldn't...
