The most recent fangraphs podcast with Eric longenhagan had a short talk about Garrett Stubbs with a very interesting conclusion: that the Astros...
That seven game whatever you wanna call it was so bad (.074/.194/.074 with a -15 WRC+) that his season slash is still bad (.236/.317/.360).
Not crazy about continuing to bat the Puerto Rican Carlos back to back in the 4/5 spots but hopefully it doesn't end up being an issue.
BTW that 2011 Rangers draft was actually really interesting. There's a lot of recognizable names but they absolutely shanked the top rounds....
Hmm... didn't know his Cape stats beforehand but that's interesting. He was pretty well known for his power in college, having hit for .219 ISO...
"dur... thats not a word" -smelly mouthbreathers
That's probably true but I'd hope Carlos would be more worried about getting hits than his pitchers rest. He doesn't have that insane bat control...
I'd be surprised if they were scouting-adept enough to prefer Perez over Martes, but I make that deal. Adding archer would put us on even...
Solid article. For the non-Astros fangraphs readers if it would be probably even more striking if he said "[2016 all-star reliever] Will Harris...
They're going to want a king's ransom and rightly so. He's got 4 years of control ON TOP of this season. TB would have to be completely...
Is there a further break down of LD% and/or BABIP in the base runners scenario? I know he hasn't looked great with base runners on but I'd like to...
I'd probably call for Hinch's firing if LMJ throws 200 IP in the regular season. His career high is 157 IP but last year he only threw 89 innings....
It's a much bigger deal down the defensive spectrum. A bat-only guy pretty much has to hit for some power to be above average. Take Yuli for...
Yeah, that was one of Luhnow's signs of an undervalued player: contact>power, cold weather guy, baseball bloodlines. The Cardinals had a run where...
Managing the rotation will be a big question moving forward. Keuchel is the only guy i think approaches 200 IP. If the other guys do (which i...
Fangraphs did an article the other day on how Cole Hamels could be in the beginning of a decline. Knowing our Rangers luck this could mean we're...
That'd be my guess as well. I think home Musgrove can outpitch Darvish but gotta take the vet straight up. If the TBA is Nick Martinez that'll...
The only semi-flag i see in his profile is the rise in strikeouts (17.5% in lowA last year --> 24.4% this year) that went along with his power...
Haha i was typing a response but you beat me to it Snake. This information is correct. An article on Moncada's contract says that an IFA bonus >...
