If Lee ends up being a solid average defensive catcher in the bigs, that's still a huge win. There's not a lot of those around. It will put some...
I think that's pretty solidly overrating what Korey Lee can bring to the table in the near term and being generous about his upside. On defense,...
Yes, read the SFG's coverage and they seem pretty disappointed to let him go. They'd have rather have traded someone else, but Dubon is the one...
It's really remarkable. He has over $30m in career earnings. The cynic in me says that's luck of the white boy, cuz a Venezuelan with those...
Agree. No complaints about strengthening the IF depth and possibly pushing Goodrum out.
Based on my googling, it looks like Pena was top 100 on BA and ESPN as well. I don't have paywall access but the Baseball Cube appears to have the...
Clearly a good farm system is better than not when it comes to future competitiveness. I think of it as a competitive cycle where there's an...
The farm value goes down; the farm reputation goes up. The overall org talent level goes up. Not having highly ranked farm clubs doesn't mean...

^the emphasis was mine. I think the bats will continue to heat up. If the defense holds up and the pitching **only** regresses to solidly above...
Interesting team stats and rankings after the 7 game win streak (all stats courtesy of Fangraphs) The Houston hitters collectively are now 4th in...
Watching the episodes 1 at a time and with little connection to the broader MCU, i thought the series was alright. Isaac did a great job with the...
Correa/Bregman/Tucker were top 5 overall draft picks. That "success" was mostly a relic of being super shitty beforehand. The Astros do have a...
Read an interview with a pitcher at some point that discussed some of the bigger misconceptions about baseball. Something mentioned was the idea...
A lot of that is just positive regression. Several pundits favored them to win the AL central last year and they way under-performed and then sold...
Armchair quarterbacking at its best. If they make moves which you deem smart, they'd be a winning team. You and no one else knows anything about...
