That's true to an extent I'm sure, but hitters hit. Players that have contact issues in college tend to have contact issues in the minors and the...
I'm surprised Hoyt isn't riding the shuttle so Teo or Aplin can come up to cover.
Anyone know why the AAA team's pitching staff looks so mixed up early in the season? They've been pulling in warm bodies to throw pitches every...
That's not an insubstantial leap for the guy to make. His career college slash line was .233/.333/.309 (.642 OPS). I'm hugely skeptical of guys...
Baseball reference lists this as his age 27 season. If the Astros offered to tear up the last two options years and replace it with an 8 year/$160...
As an early hater of Yuli and even Jake Rogers in the minor league thread, I will say that me calling them out is obviously the reason they've...
Yea it really depends on the particular number/AAV he's looking for. I bet he's lookin for more than $20m per year. If his number were just $20m...
The consequences of increased contact (/decreased contact).
Ah my mistake.
I saw that in the TCB comments section and just being nitpicky, i'm pretty sure that number is wrong. Its $50k to make the rule 5 pick but $25k if...
Who is everyone? That's literally the first time I've heard of people complaining about Gregerson.
He's great but he hasn't been Bryce Harper yet. Harper may get the first $400m contract and even then i think it's just one or two teams bidding...
I don't remember what the speed was in Maddux's later career but he was hitting 93-94 in his prime if i recall correctly. Fister is a good example...
So given where Keuchel's velocity has gone over the last three years, do people legitly see him getting a $150m contract when he hits FA?
Off on completely arbitrary guesses...
Completely disagree. Granted I took a nap during the game and missed most of the start but it looks like he got shelled. Musgrove is just a young...
Positive trending no doubt. But again I'd expect a 22 y y/o college guy to hit well in low-A. High level college baseball (e.g. SEC) is probably...
Devo got some media loving the other day. He was interviewed on the Ringer's MLB podcast show: Link Not the greatest interviewee I've ever...
He's signed through 2018 with a 2019 team option, so decent but not an amazing amount of control left. Looking at his stats, he's basically a...
Got you man. I'm feeling lazy too (towards actual work). The LI for those two games was 1.78.
