I like Abregmanfan too, and wish he would just comeback, but thanks for standing up for me. Someone PM that fool and tell him to come back. |

I wonder if the development of Meyers influenced management’s decision to try and convert Leon to SS. Could be that or preparing to lose Correa. They need to make a solid offer to keep Correa, but, they have to be prepared if he leaves. |

I think the team will make a solid offer to Correa, but nothing close to the Lindor-like contract he probably thinks he is entitled to. |

Part of me wants Correa re-signed because of Bregman, but then they’ll have two expensive injury prone players. I don’t want them being as bad as the Angels.

Correa hasn't been as injury prone as Bregman since 2019 and has been more productive during the season and in the post season. Both play tough positions, but, a SS of Correa's quality would be harder to replace than a 3B. We certainly haven't gotten our money's worth from Bregman since 2019. |

The position is more replaceable, but I don’t think Bregman is replaceable unless he’s a shell of his former self. |

Fixed that for you. No offense intended to any of the other great Astros fans on this forum, but abregmanfan is hands-down my favorite member of this board. Go to hell. I love you too.  |

There are two things that have always been true about Dusty 1. With pitchers given two choices, one obviously the smart play, and the other bordering on stupidity, he will choose the latter. 2. Position players like playing for him. a third thing that most likely is true is that the lack of discipline required by him results in teams under performing. I've always thought there was a link between a team's expected winning % and whether their manager has them underperforming. Right now the Astros are approx 60 points below their expected winning percentage Just for a random point of comparison, the Tigers are approx 30 points above their expected win %

I don't think you can safely read that much into it. The only thing we can say with certainty when the expected win percentage is higher than the actual win percentage is that team tends to win big and lose small. |

Players love Dusty’s laid back approach. Not chewing someone out for not hustling, failing to execute, and going asleep at the switch makes the veterans really enjoy his approach. It really is no big surprise that we have so many base running blunders, no situational hitting, and clutch defensive plays against the bottom feeders. The veterans motivate themselves to play against the good teams but do not take the weak teams seriously. The rookies/young players still have to prove that they belong so they use the weak teams to fatten up their stats. It again is no big surprise as to why McCormack, Meyer, Diaz, Tucker and the young pitchers are the only players that show up against the cellar dwellers. Click was smart to go out and get us some options for the pen. If Baez and James can be successfully added to go with Javier, Garcia, Maton, Graveman and Presley I would have a hard time imagining how anyone can screw things up. |

Did you just “randomly” compare our current manager to our former? |

Which says a lot about Hinch and Baker. No manager is right all of the time, but, Dusty makes Hinch look like a genius. |

We have seen Correa bashed for missing too many games due to injury, and, I was guilty of it in the past. Upon examining the last two sesons, 2020 and this season, Carlos led the team in games played last season and is leading this season. We may need to look for a new argument against re-signing him. Offer him 5yrs/ $150 million with an option for a 6th. He is worth it because we cannot replace what he brings to this team.

Of course, Carlos is going to try his play as much as possible this year, he is in his contract year. If he doesn't play through ailments, he could be causing himself millions upon millions. |
