I personally wrote him off after last year. If he performs: great. If not, whatever. We have so many good OF prospects that one underperforming is...
16 teams didn't think so. Three prep righties and two prep lefties went ahead of Whitley. We know now that the Astros were correct in believing...
Longenhagen said in his chat today that the Astros would be fortunate if Baz fell to them but it'd take a bunch of college guys going ahead (e.g....
That's an ESPN-centric world view. MLB.com managed to put the Astros as the front page story, because it was the biggest baseball story. If they...
In the absence of Trout, Chris Sale is probably the front-runner. He's on-pace for a 10 WAR pitching season.
Agreed. Something else I've noticed is his management of the starters. He occasionally is late pulling a starter, but usually that's because it...
Some people are like that. Some people, like myself, don't particularly like it Hinch takes grief for reasonable and/or decision-science supported...

Big if's.
Interesting, Law thinks Baz is our guy and BA think Hiura is our guy. Hopefully one of the two is available.

Nice! i was just about to post a minor league update. Whitley's going in the top of the second. QC up 2-0 early. Paulino goes tonight.
BTW if anyone wants to see cangrejero in top form, the crawfishboxes game thread has some classic cangerjero'isms
The catcher just stood there. He made no attempt to restrain Harper.
Count me as that guy. WTF happened this inning?
Not a super common surgery for hitters, I wonder how that will affect his development.
Nothing ground breaking but Peter Gammons put up an article on Baseball America on the Pirates trading Cole. Link. He mentions that the Astros...
