Crion posted:What do you mean by "panning out" here, because he's going to have to do far more than be a serviceable/MLB average 1B for that deal to be better team value than Longoria's first buyout contract This is true. Singleton hasn't played a single game at the major league level so yeah it's a bit early to make a statement like that

After all the Grossman and Peacock callups I'm a bit overly excited to first see Springer and now Singleton, the guys who are actually expected to make something of themselves are arriving! Give me a break here, I haven't had anything to be excited about for years now Well, except Cosart I guess

No way, Jason Lane is pitching in the majors? Last I heard he was pitching (and an ace) for the independent league Sugarland Skeeters Also look at this loving first pitch from Robocop. Embarassing http://www.cbssports.com/mlb/eye-on-baseball/24579965/video-robocop-throws-out-the-first-pitch-in-detroit

That's just embarassing. Although to be fair, it's probably hard as gently caress to throw in that suit

Quest For Glory II posted:This is your reminder that Jon Singleton was traded by Ruben Amaro for one year of Hunter Pence. Thank you Domingo Santana was the PBTNL in that trade, and according to a "Philly official" he was included on the list of available players by accident. Amaro denies it's true though

Jon Singleton had another homer today, unfortunately this time it was a cheapie to the Crawford Boxes so no point in posting a video/gif 365 ft true distance, pathetic compared to his previous 411, 392 and 429. DFA the man

I wonder what Carlos Correa is up to, maybe they'll call him up to AA soo-  Sustained a possibly serious ankle or leg injury sliding into third on a triple

Carlos Correa has a broken fibula and is out for the year  All from getting his spikes caught on third base. Time to start a campaign for breakaway bases in the minors!

Springer also got off to a somewhat slow start. After his first 12 games his slash was .170/.264/.213 Since then, over the last 53 games it's been .263/.373/.545 which yeah isn't Stantonesque but he's been very good over that time frame

tadashi posted:What's funny is Springer is 2 months older than Stanton. Yeah it wasn't Springer's inclusion that would have killed that deal Though Springer is going to be cheaper and for longer than Stanton, who's due a huge payday right at the time the Astros are hoping to be entering the conversation for contention. Who knows, maybe they can make a play for him on the open market
