It's amazing to think that in 2015, the Astros hit the 3rd least GIDPs. Every year since then they've been in the bottom 10, finishing 2018 with...
JD Davis hit two solo HR's in the Mets/Nats game today. Glad to see him getting a shot.
Last year they definitely didn't need to. Their starters and relievers threw the 2nd most and 2nd least number of innings, respectively. That...
They're going with a 7 man pen instead of 8 so they wanted an extra multi-inning guy.
Yeah they've mentioned he'll be in the DH rotation in addition to LF.
Agree that he would have been nice to have back at that price but I’m looking forward to seeing if they can develop their long-term bullpen lefty...
With a female infertility drug?
JV said a few weeks ago he was looking to get on the same page with Chirinos because he (JV) likes to call his own game. Guess that was a subtle...
I don't even cook but i find myself hooked on watching the Sous Vide Everything channel on Youtube.
The prospect guys seemed kinda down on Alvarez and my (extremely) brief looks at him during ST weren't particularly impressive.
I think the Astros MO is below-market rates or market rates on a short term deal. Tuve was a notable exception and even his total deal is below...
I know he’s gonna be held down for service time and workload considerations but Whitley would really benefit from getting as much time with...
Whitley looks like he belongs with the big league club right now.
Another huge loss for Fangraphs. I cancelled my Fangraphs subscription after Cistulli left. I don't see them recovering from losing Cameron,...
Kemp seems like the obvious target to go. He's a 25th/26th man, slightly above replacement level. You feel slightly bad about waiving him, but not...
A) every major leaguer hits BOR starters and long relievers better than aces. Nearly every major leaguer is worse in the playoffs. If that’s your...
Fangraphs has a Clutch stat. Yuli was considered great in 2017 and below average but within normal limits in 2016 and 2018. By comparison, Breggy...
Can't look at Yuli's offensive output without factoring defensive value. He's a minus 1B and is even worse at 3B/2B. He maybe a ~110 WRC+ hitter...
His low on-base percentages drag down his productivity. At best he's an average 1B but given aging curves it wouldn't be surprising for him to be...
I don't think JBB's profile changed much. The car accident set him back time-wise but didn't really impact his stuff. He's still got 2 potential...
