Maybe I'm biased from his first few appearances but I don't remember being super impressed with Gustave's stuff. I wrote this on Sickel's blog...
I'm sure dombrowski will be available in 3-4 years. He'll get tired of Boston.
I said what I said
I think a takehome from the fangraphs data is that we shouldn't pencil him in for all-star level production, which is what he put up after that...
I think they've changed and refined their approach over the years as the team has gotten better. Some things have been pretty standard modern...
I don't think there was any chance they were gonna go out and fill every single hole on the roster with a recently productive veteran.
In rounds 2-5 most of those guys were getting at or near slot. Emanuel and Thurmann got full slot. Fontana got slightly above slot. Most of the...
I've mentioned this before but I don't think that approach ever works. The industry doesn't respond fast enough to changes in prospect status like...
I dunno if it's Luhnow or just drafting college players after the first round in general but his rounds 2-10 record with college draftees ain't...
I don't see a lot of team's willingness to pay the price for Quintana changing over the course of the season. If the Astros get to the trade...
It looked like an unimpressive draft at the time and it didn't age well either. Bummer about Conrad Gregor. I spent a year at Vandy and got...
On the one hand, fangraphs projected the stros rotation as the 3rd best in the AL behind the Red Sox and Indians. But it just doesn't look like an...
He's certainly far more likely to produce meaningful WAR in the next two seasons than Martes is. That being said if they feel comfortable with...
From a team planning perspective, spending more money/resources on a lefty reliever when they've already committed $6m per year to Sipp doesn't...
ride Charlie's arm til it goes and then call up Martes or patchwork Paulino/Devo/Fiers. I'm hopeful for Charlie but they need just need to get...
For LMJ, I think a more important injury prevention strategy is develop his ability to pitch off the fastball rather than the curveball. His...
Most teams play the AAA shuttle game to cover up for stuff like that rather than carry 3 long men. If they are that worried about the rotation,...
Seems like a win-win-win. Heineman gets a (hopefully) easier path to the majors, the Brewers get depth and the Astros have one less person to...
How many long-capable guys do they need? Feliz, Devo and Peacock are all capable of multiple innings. Hinch said that having Peacock allows him to...
I go back and forth on making a huge move now but in my head I know that a guy like Dombrowski, if given the current organizational status, would...
