Sounds like inconsistent mechanics are the basis of Martes' early struggles at every level. It's not so much a "hurry up" as a "stop making the...
Martes' upside is up there with VV and LMJ. It's just consistency and floor that are holding him back. That makes him a slightly lesser prospect...
On this astros off-night i came across one of the most eye-opening baseball stories I've ever read. Haven't checked the source, but its from a...
It's a deep pen no doubt.
Centano is what he is: AAA depth. He'll likely see major league at bats again at some point in his career. Stassi seems to be trending in that...
Maybe the other two got tired of shifting so much. It's not nothing switching defensive positions in the OF, as was mentioned in an early post the...
Every now and then there's been a catcher in the minors doing well and we all pondered if that guy (someone like Tyler Heineman or Jamie Ritchie)...
Seen in an ESPN article on if player breakout's are sustainable: Perhaps the article was poorly timed because he gave up 7ER in his start last...
Nice! I didn't realize his bat had been coming around. Actually very solid number since 4/12 as you said: 123 WRC+, 10.8% BB, 16.9 K%. The only...
I know Houston owners have a thing about character-issue guys but Romero would be a big upside get at their pick.
Nice. There's a huge discrepancy between DK's fangraph's WAR and Baseball Reference's WAR. He's put up 0.8 fWAR (tied for 20th) but 2.2 bWAR (2nd...
In the playoffs, he should be pulling an Andrew Miller and putting out fiers when the situation arises. I'd much prefer rolling the dice with...
They'd basically have to tandem Feliz and Peacock to start off. Not opposed to the idea, but a few rough starts in the rotation and the bullpen is...
I've been as pissed as anyone about Fiers, but he is still pretty much the best person to chew up innings and save the pen out of the #5 position....
Welp. That's it for me tonight and every fifth night while Fiers is a starter. I'm upset as a fan, but I legitly feel bad for the other Astros...
Let's see Jake from rake farm take over this game
Hasn't been a big loss. DDJ put up a whopping 55 WRC+ last year and entering this game was 91 WRC+ on the season. No one was gonna give anything...
I know small sample sizes are small sample sizes, but what is it that Luhnow and Hinch see that makes them feel comfortable sending Fiers out...
Nothing specific to him but the #2 hitter typically gets the best pitches to hit because you don't want to walk someone ahead of the #3 hitter....
That sucks. He worked all the way up the minor league ladder to the "next man up" starter option and he has to deal with that. Atleast he got his...
