Clearly, the Astros weren’t going to protect him and thought he’d get claimed in the Rule 5 draft. Benefit of Bailey is that he’s not eligible....
Confirmed... threadworthy.
If he actually gets anywhere close to that.... next year is going to get wild.
Worthwhile to go back and read... https://www.theplayerstribune.com/carlos-beltran-astros/
Yuli is functionally a left handed hitter. His splits are bizarre. This season, he posted an .865 OPS vs. righties, and .695 vs. lefties. In...
For what it’s worth, Lidge melted down in the 2005 playoffs, lost his closers job in 2007 and then got traded. The next year, he put up one of...
But to answer his question, yes, the Astros have a potential dominant closer in their system. Though they spent the 15th overall choice in the...

108mph exit velocity on the Springer fly out. So close.
Gurriel defense came up big for the double play.
He totally went.
Somewhere, Jarred Cosart is laughing. Kike Hernandez was a throw-in in that trade...
One thought... With the Dodgers throwing their lefties in their home games, it likely means their right handed pitchers will likely face the DH....
A legitimately healthy Jake would be great... but he's literally a defense/pinch runner, as the guy probably hasn't taken live swings in 2 months....
