I agree that Herman needed to go, but the last thing Texas could afford to do was take another huge risk at the head coaching position, and that’s...
I doubt he takes 6 for 210 right now, either. But, it’s a legitimate starting point because it includes one of the top-5 AAV’s in the sport and...
Of course. That’s why I didn’t understand buying out Herman’s final year to hire a massive risk in Sarkisian. Urban Meyer, I understood. But...
I just don’t understand why boosters thought Sarkisian was a slam dunk hire. He hadn’t been a head coach at the college level in years, and he...
Won’t happen. But, this definitely exposes Sarkisian as some sort of offensive genius. He needs an offense with a bunch of NFL caliber players to...
This is embarrassing. There are personnel issues on offense, but you would think a supposed elite offensive mind like Steve Sarkisian would be...
That’s what I’m thinking. I’m thinking 7 years, 245 or 250M stands a good chance of getting a deal done. It’s nice to see the Astros finally...
Especially when the AAV is the equivalent of $36-$37M for any non Texas or Florida team.
I think it’s certainly worth considering if I’m Correa. It might take one more year at that AAV (7 for 245 or 250), but Carlos knows they aren’t...
See the tweet by Channel 2 Sports Director Randy McIlvoy. He’s a legit source. Either way, 6 for 210 is a good offer: $35M AAV and more than...
I hope not, but at some point, Correa will probably get frustrated with the five-year offers from the Astros. Crane needs to meet in the middle...
No knowledgeable Astros’ fan thinks that is a serious run at retaining him. If you were trying to keep him and only offered five years, it would...
In terms of AAV, it’s more than fair. But, Crane knows five years isn’t good enough and continues to make offers in that range. If you are going...
I strongly doubt he starts the year with the Astros, but a midseason call up is likely. With only 30 games (122 at bats) above the Double A level,...
If Correa leaves, I don’t see them simply handing the job to Pena to start the season unless he forces their hand in Spring Training. He only has...
I know Simmons is dreadful with the bat, but I was viewing him as a short-term, temporary placeholder until Pena gets his call up midseason. I...
I haven’t looked at the most recent defensive numbers, but if Correa doesn’t stay, one cheap, short-term option could be Andrelton Simmons. It...
He technically didn’t re-sign. The Astros’ had an $8M team option for next season. Picking that up was a no brainer.
I do agree that the Astros need to get a better media rights deal when the current one expires, but 2032 is more than a decade away. That should...
Astros’ pitching was not the primary reason they lost this series. They scored four runs combined in the four games they lost. I don’t care if...
