re: DAT: Official 2015 Spring Training Thread

damn... posted in the off-season thread before I saw this one.

Just 3 days until pitchers/catchers report.

A few things:

Just saw this posted on Crawfish Boxes... Koby Clemens going to be a minor league instructor.

Apparently, he's being groomed to be a manager. Hope he does better as an instructor than he did at hitting curve balls.

And another good article about the Free Agent SP market next season. Some pretty good logic and Luhnow-esque stats to support who the Astros might pick up next off-season. Hint: It's not Zimmerman

Of course, that's all just cherry-picking stats to support an idea. But it does seem to cherry-pick stats in a very Luhnow mindset. The article also links to another article explaining pitch framing by catchers. Apparently, it is something that Conger is extremely good at and which Castro is formidably average.

As for predictions... I'm still sticking to my 83 to 86 wins this year. I think this team surprises some teams.
