Re: Da Astros
1.Yes, hindsight is 20/20 but there were a lot of question marks on those guys despite the tools that they had.
2.McGee was projected as being a number one starter when he was first drafted and now he's in the bullpen. Don't get me wrong, he's still incredibly valuable (if he can repeat) but he just fell face first into his floor.
3.After watching him terrorize the Royals and watching his attitude, I don't like him either lol...
4.....how did I forget about Mark Prior and Kerry Wood?
5.Yeah I agree, Gio sucks but I'd rather have him than Chris Getz. Really it's a pick your poison thing when it comes to Royals second basemen.
Alright then, I see where your coming from.
I've heard that sound 3 times... once was Babe Ruth, the second was Josh Gibson, and the third was Bo Jackson- Buck O'Neil

Re: Da Astros

Re: Da Astros
Impressions;
-Houston has Correa, shouldn't sign him unless they don't think Correa will stick at SS (which is somewhat likely)
-Ridiculously casual, talented as hell. Reminds me of Escobar in the field.
-What in the high name of hell is going on with that leg kick?
I don't see how he's the best prospect out of LA. He's good, though. Someone I'd like my Jays to go after. Not sure if he's a fit in HOU, but an IF of Correa-Ayala-Altuve-Singleton would be jaw-dropping."Twelve at-bats is a pretty decent sample size." - Eric ByrnesComment

You can't ignore this kind of talent though... He's insanely good!!! From what I've gathered he can catch too so maybe they should move him to catcher.
Also wouldn't mind seeing him at third either. He looked pretty sharp.
His leg kick helps him get some really good power and get under the ball.
With that kind of potential and know-how, I can't see how he wouldn't be the best prospect ever to come out of Latin America... personally, I think he's the next Bryce Harper with probably more talent and less hype... that's just me.

Re: Da Astros
I've heard somewhere that they project his power at a 6 which is slightly better or on par with Harper's.
Right now, I see like a Jose Reyes, Prince Fielder type player but not with as much talent as the two combined. He seems overconfident but that's just the way he makes plays and if he can make the plays then I guess let him.
He looks to me to be a gold glove winner along the lines of Andruw Jones.

Harper's power breaks the scale. This kid's power is a 55 or so.
Jones doesn't even play any of the positions you could see him at, and I see no way this kid catches."Twelve at-bats is a pretty decent sample size." - Eric ByrnesComment

Re: Da Astros
Jones was the only comparable gold glove winner that I could think of. Now that I think about it, Pete Rose really comes to mind with Domingo in terms of the way he plays.
He is an extremely high risk player. Ceiling- Best player in MLB, Floor- Defensive player that wins gold glove every year.

Re: Da Astros
I meant that his power is presently a 6 but he has 8 potential and scouts are skeptical that his swing can produce that kind of power.

Re: Prince Fielder + Jose Reyes = Andruw Jones... you realize that those two are two of the worst fielders at their respective positions, right?
I vehemently disagree with your ceiling and I suspect you know the kid or something, but I could see a Brendan Ryan floor."Twelve at-bats is a pretty decent sample size." - Eric ByrnesComment
