pitching motion looks like Verlander, pitch outcomes look like Framber, pitch mix looks like Walker Buehler…
He's our top ranked hitting prospect, but relative to all prospects he's closer to the back of the top 100 than the front. You said 'stud...
Besides the fact that that package wouldn't get you a stud pitcher back, we don't really have a pitching need either. Houston is 6th in Fangraphs...
Wait til Dana Brown is truly unleashed. There's no doubt he knows that prospect IF depth is a problem and that rolling with Rylan Bannon is not...
This is one of those "i don't disagree with your reasoning but i disagree with the over all message" posts. Agree that he's probably at his peak...
I think the Maldy phase out will happen, just far more gradually than people want. Think there’s a lot of politics at play: -Dusty’s being the...
Being pedantic, but I'd probably put them ahead of the Astros and Braves and on par with the Dodgers. Astros and Braves are both good at farm...
Lost in the Brantley return, Whitley took the mound today. He went 4.0IP with 4H, 3R/ER, 1BB, 2K's and gave up a dinger. For some perspective,...
Hell yea boyz!

It's not gonna be a light switch flip but Julks is going to get less playing time Brantley and Chaz come back; that's just numbers. I also expect...
Think it's understood Montero is in a bit of a funk to start the season and Abreu is more reliable right now. Remains to be seen if that stays the...
I know you're a little older, but define "new development". The fireman role was re-popularized in the mid-2010's with Andrew Miller on the...
I think it sorts itself out on it's own. I think Meyers and Julks will fall off when they're not getting regular playing time.
Yep, he's probably hanging out at extended spring training until the florida complex league starts in June.
With the benefit of hindsight, it's pretty clear Luhnow was extreme/cutthroat about the numbers early on... somewhat unnecessarily. Some of those...
