If I have to choose between Correa and Springer, I go Springer everytime.



I hope we don't have to choose but I'm kind of the opposite. I love George but this years post season was springer in a nutshell. Can go from being near useless at the plate to being the best player in the league and back and forth. Correa has just produced at a steady all star pace since breaking into the league. I want to keep both but I'll go with consistent play if I have to choose

Not gonna lie. Pretty bummed I missed out on the dirt from game 7. Would've went nice with piece of endzone from the Saints Super Bowl.

Congrats to Jose and George on winning the Silver Slugger Award. Very well deserved.

Is that really Altuve's hand writing? It's pretty damn good hand writing.

I can't decide what's better between his handwriting or his English. shite his handwriting and English are better than like 90% of Americans today. At least.

Interesting notes on JD Davis

quote:

The power was accompanied by an ugly 29.4% K% with the Astros, and he punched out in 28.4% of his plate appearances at the High-A level in 2015 when he hit 26 bombs in 552 plate appearances, but between High-A and his brief time in the Majors, Davis had done a commendable job of cutting down on punch outs (26.5% K% in 2016 at Double-A, 23.2% K% in 2017 at Double-A and 24.7% K% in 2017 at Triple-A). In exactly 1,000 plate appearances in the upper minors, Davis mashed 49 taters with a 8.5% BB%, 25.1% K%, .274/.339/.504 slash and 135 wRC+.

He’s not just an all-or-nothing slugger, but boy oh boy can he slug. Davis only had 43 batted ball events (BBE) with the Astros, per Baseball Savant, but the batted ball numbers are glorious. A total of 540 players had a minimum of 30 BBE in 2017, and Davis ranked tied for 15th in Barrels/PA (8.8), 17th in Percentage of BBE of 95 MPH+ (46.9%) and tied with Miguel Sano and Nelson Cruz — good company to keep — for fifth in FB/LD exit velocity (98.5 MPH). Davis rattled off a 39.5% Hard%, but he also had a bloated 60.5% GB%. The high GB% is likely a product of a small sample size, though, as his previous high at any stop was 45.7% in High-A in 2015. Prior to pounding that high percentage of balls into the dirt in The Show, Davis’ GB% had actually gone down at every stop — and while repeating Double-A — up the ladder.

Him Moran White Reed Fisher should all be in a 5 man thunderdome for the last roster spot assuming we carry 12 position players again IMO. Preference given to guys with some versatility

Early leaders are probably Moran/Fisher, but the batted ball analysis for Davis was cool. We’ve seen Springer cut his K rate significantly and other guys focus on putting the ball in play so if Davis can make adjustments I guess there’s more potential in him than I initially thought

You mean like having a 0.00 era and striking out 43% of the batters he's faced?
