What is this team's... personality? Is that a sincere question? They have too many injuries; too many players underperforming. They are playing...
I would think this is more about winning than cashing checks? They're all going to prioritize money, and they should. But Correa's return, I...
I think him being really good at baseball is his biggest asset.
a) the bias of the northeastern region of the BBWAA is way overblown; b) I think there will be initial pushback, and it's not going to be...
Ozzie Smith didn't hit 30 home runs in his career... Correa is obviously not Ozzie Smith - but I don't think he needs power numbers to augment...
His 7-year peak WAR is very close to being in-line with HoF measures for SSs. He needs to get his overall WAR (45) into the mid-to-high 60s to...
I don't think it's fair to extract good performances to make the case a player is not performing. That stretch is *exactly* why they want him in...
Hate to be *that* guy - assume you mean Gibson? He won a World Series *game*. I'm not trying to be pedantic or righteous - it underscores the...
Yep. I mentioned this in another post. With Meyers and Yordan out, they're stretched a little thin in the OF right now. But once Yordan is back,...
Let's not overlook the Astros adding Jeremey Pena, in addition to Correa, Sanchez and Urias, on 8/1. Astros were 13-14 without him. If they get...
Suarez's season is a fairly large outlier - .754 OPS/106 OPS+ the previous five seasons; .897/142 prior to the trade. He had an incredible...
Sanchez, thus far - to me - looks like a guy that is almost certainly going to do something costly in a big game. He's hit well - but he's run...
Cam Smith is a + defender, playing more games than ever at the highest level. This ditch was inevitable and the likely platoon with Sanchez will...
........ what is PRP? I assume any comeback this year would be a DH only? That would put Altuve back at 2B full-time and Yordan in LF full-time...
Urias, alone, represented a significant upgrade. He'll now be able to float between positions (w Dubon), and jeep everyone fresh & healthy. Some...
I didn't even notice there was a poll, lol. Hilarious that he wasn't content with yes or no - but yes, no or hell no. Even funnier, Correa has...
This is a really good point. There is a very legitimate discussion about the viability of bringing in Correa. But, for me, that can wait because -...
Correa failing those two physicals in '23 likely points to something chronic. My guess is that he's probably never 100% healthy and that the up...
With prospects, there is a both a quality and quantity component that's important. If Nook' number is just this year, trading 22 players is, more...
The Astros' offense is better than it was two days ago. Correa might not get to where Paredes was - but Sanchez is a big-time addition who...
