I thought this was an interesting analysis of the Framchise, including changes in his pitch usage (more changeups) and why he might be throwing his sinker harder: https://blogs.fangraphs.com/framber-valdez-made-a-change/

Altuve's agent is Boras, also. The contrast between him and Bregman is stark. Hope Bregman resigns at a reasonable price, but hope we move on soon enough to get OF help.

Always loved Bill Doran. Hatcher, too. Felt like Pete Harnisch would be a good guy in a fight.

Bregman is never going to be loved like Altuve
