Autumn Dreamin

Interesting note on Mead...he's RH but it looks like he has fairly strong reverse splits this season. .807 OPS vs. RHP in his relatively small MLB sample size this season (.562 vs. LHP), less drastic but still reverse splits in AAA too. Might change where he fits in the IF mix if it's not a pure platoon situation. Though last season he had a .849 OPS vs. LHP in the bigs and was brutal vs. RHP.

Peoples looks like he could give us BP innings soon if not now? Converted reliever, LHP, 2.65 ERA in AAA with a solid 9.4 K/9 over 37.1 IP

Oh?

Even if so, he's still an elite defensive CF who has crushed lefties even when struggling overall and has a near 1.000 OPS over the last month (and over .800 the last ~two). He's better and younger than Mullins.

Cubs making a deal with the Twins and not getting Ryan, Astros the reported frontrunner for Cease... Send Houser up north?

Sox 4th place 🔜?

As expected, Houser/Civale seem like their back up plan

SPs finally moving

He's available, but the price is reportedly very high.

0 innings anywhere other than SS through ~1500 pro games.

Yep. We want them to stop spreading limited FA money across multiple low ceiling guys, and just spend a little more for an upside swing? Well...

Still room for it to get wilder. The Astros medical staff has the chance to do the funniest thing ever now...

Lol

Tauch actively prefers to stay. He has an 8 month old with health issues and likes being near his family and support network. With him also being productive on the field and a plus in the clubhouse, I have 0 problems keeping him. Maybe I'd send him across town if Cubs want a reunion, but I'm not pressed at all about missing out on some fringe A ball player return. Not like he's blocking an OF prospect right now either.

Pipeline #14, #30, and an unranked reliever.... Yeah, just run it back.
