Top 3 ways the Stros should address each of their needs

Sat, 14 Nov 2009 05:00:08 -0500

The Astros as we all know are in a bit of a bind. Management wants to reduce payroll and presumingly go with a younger lineup, the problem with this is that the Astros have one of the worst farm systems in baseball, and the weakest part of the system lies at the upper levels. So throwing out a lineup that looks a lot like the one the folks at Round Rock saw all of last year is not likely to keep you competitive. Now blowing up the team and starting all over has become a ri...

Pitching Reclamation Projects

Today, Dying Quail posted his shoestring-budget plan for the Astros offseason, and it included signing a top-tier reclamation project so that new pitching coach Brad Arnsberg could work his magic. I like the idea of going for upside this offseason with our pitching signings...I'm not really up for repeating the Hampton/Ortiz experience next season. Inspired, I've cobbled together quick profiles on the three pitchers DQ named in his piece: Rich Hill, Justin Duchschere...

Design The 2010 Reds Rotation

Mon, 02 Nov 2009 22:34:09 -0500

Back in August, we looked at and discussed the potential 2010 Reds outfield. We will soon get to see how the Reds’ plans unfold for next year’s team. As we wait for November moves to begin, let’s look at other areas of the Reds club. How would you structure the 2010 rotation? It would seem to be one of the easier areas on the ballclub to address: - You have the potential for four solid starters in Harang, Arroyo, Cueto, and Bailey - There should be someone internally who ca...

Tangentially related Brewers news

Sat, 31 Oct 2009 09:39:24 -0500

You know, even that's a stretch. However, there are two bits of MLB news that could affect how the 2010 Brewers shape up. Besides, on a slow day like today, what more do you want? Breaking out of San Francisco: Item 1: Would-be free-agent Freddy Sanchez re-signs with the Giants (2 years/$12 million). There are only a handful of productive second-basemen on the FA market, so it's a big deal when a 3-time all-star signs early. Of the FA 2Bs left out ...

…. Tough loss

Thu, 21 May 2009 13:04:06 -0500

There were multiple times when I wrote that we all needed to realize that the problems plaguing Noah Lowry were career-threatening. It now appears that his Giants career –at least– is over: …. Lowry was diagnosed twice in the last five days with thoracic outlet syndrome, a circulatory disorder that both doctors — one who [...]

The interesting case of Noah Lowry

Fri, 27 Feb 2009 23:59:24 -0500

Noah Lowry made 14 starts for the San Fransisco Giants in 2004 finishing the season with a 6-0 record. Not bad for a guy who had made just four relief appearances for the Giants in 2003. In 2005 he went a step further making 33 starts and picking up 13 wins for a Giants team that [...]
