Of course, there was more news, but these are just a few pieces that may pique your interest.

Analysis

Jason looked at George Springer’s 2014 numbers, and compared them to Giancarlo Stanton’s. Stanton is about to sign a deal worth over $300M. While they’re roughly the same age, the Springer/Stanton comparison will be fun to watch for years to come.

Commentary

Lastly, Kennon wrote a piece about a bracelet. A magical bracelet that gives Astros minor leaguers powers. Not exactly, but close. Just read it to see what I mean.

That’s it for this week’s link dump. As always, if Astros news breaks, we fix it. Wait, that’s been said, and is a little cheesy.
