MLBTR Originals

By Connor Byrne | August 21, 2016 at 8:54am CDT

Here’s a recap of the original analysis MLBTR offered over the last week:

  • With the Astros having released center fielder Carlos Gomez, Steve Adams broke down eight potential fits for the former star. The Rangers, whom Steve included, have since signed Gomez.
  • Jeff Todd looked at eight midseason prospect call-ups who are impacting the postseason race.
  • Mark Polishuk forecast the upcoming offseason’s qualifying offer market, concluding that at least 11 players are locks to receive a QO. There are also plenty of other players who could also be in the mix, as Mark detailed.
  • Jason Martinez examined the 10 American League playoff contenders’ needs in the wake of the Aug. 1 non-waiver trade deadline.
  • In this week’s “Knocking Down the Door,” Jason listed four pitching prospects and two young infielders who are making cases for promotions.
  • Despite being in first place, the Indians could certainly stand to upgrade at catcher. With that in mind, Steve polled readers on which path they should take at the position.
  • I ranked the five best rookies in each league (AL, NL) as the end of the regular season draws closer.
  • Finally, Jeff focused on the performance and potential offseason earning power of Dodgers third baseman Justin Turner, an impending free agent.

    I would be remiss if I did not thank you guys for the job the entire does everyday. I have just recently found this site and downloaded the app just about a month ago. You keep me entertained and well informed of my hobby that I so enjoy, the game of baseball. Plus, I do not have anyone to talk to about baseball so I really appreciate this forum.
