It may be that in the case of Devenski, Hauschild etc the upside isn't much more than we see and in the case of Guduan, Teoscar etc they still have something to show in terms of development at AA ball. I really think the MILB top 10 rankings for the Astros is more indicative of who the scouts really value. I do think that Guduan and Teoscar in particular, have great upside.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8258113540412686164.post-24261215525949884562015-12-10T19:04:46.793-06:002015-12-10T19:04:46.793-06:00The only thing that I think might have hurt Devo w...The only thing that I think might have hurt Devo was the spell he had from mid-June through July (he was 7-0 before the TL ASG) until he was shut down for a couple of weeks. Quite a few of us fans could tell that he was tired but I think that Chris's drive might have got in the way to tell them that he needed a break. After that time off you could tell the difference even though he didn't get a regular season win during the rest of the season. Chris isn't going to overpower you with his stuff but he will keep them off balance with his secondary pitches and doesn't issue many walks. What hurt Guduan is his command/control of his pitches and quite a few teams probably saw a much better product out there given that he's been at the lower levels for the last four years. If he can learn to harness that he will be a lights out relief pitcher. hooksfanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14145437232237389579noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8258113540412686164.post-37677382621341649962015-12-10T18:18:58.743-06:002015-12-10T18:18:58.743-06:00Seeing Joe will be worth the trip. #vamosoneofmyfa...Seeing Joe will be worth the trip. #vamosoneofmyfavoritegatosAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08153454184846310524noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8258113540412686164.post-22144852203379987742015-12-10T18:18:49.161-06:002015-12-10T18:18:49.161-06:00Seeing Joe will be worth the trip. #vamosoneofmyfa...Seeing Joe will be worth the trip. #vamosoneofmyfavoritegatosAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08153454184846310524noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8258113540412686164.post-15319503091609530222015-12-10T14:05:37.193-06:002015-12-10T14:05:37.193-06:00Shhhhhh Jayne.

A third alternative might be that we've already traded away every prospect that the other baseball GMs might have coveted ... what do you think?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10552875673274683721noreply@blogger.com
