Good for Strom. Moving on… At least now we don't have to constantly hear that stream of nonsense about him being some wizard. |

Yes in 5 of the 6 complete years he played. Having said that he only exceeded 25 once, last year with 26. My point was that we're not losing a 40-HR player. And I agree with your point. My point is that by replacing his 26 home runs with a guy who may only hit 10, (Pena), makes an area that is considered pedestrian, anemic. Thomas’ idea about signing a guy like Bryant adds a margin for error that we do not currently have. Also I think that Crane maybe twisting some arms to get Correa more endorsement deals to sweeten the pot on his 5 year 160mm offer |

He will also be getting taxed at 12.5 - 20% higher rate. Soto net the same after tax their annual offer would have to be 36.5 million to 40 million instead of our 32 million. remember his wife is a Texan so she may not want go live with those nut jobs. |

Will you also tell us about when one of his pitchers fails, or will that be someone elses fault like it was here? |

We don't need updates on the progress of Arizona's staff. Just reminders everytime they acquire a pitcher that Strom can probably fix him

Will you also tell us about when one of his pitchers fails, or will that be someone elses fault like it was here? Guys are going to fail with the best of coaching if they just don't have what it takes. IMO the difference Strom, or any good coach, makes is getting more of of guys that others didn't or couldn't (Harris, McHugh, Cole, etc.) So the opposite of that would mean being able to point to a string of pitchers who did not improve with Strom but then later found success elsewhere. Those would be failures on Strom's record, and few come to mind. |

At this point I wouldn't put too much stock in anything Click has to say. He's aligning the players he has. He'll realign once FA is over. I agree. I’m not buying his “square peg in a round hole” comment about moving Bregman to SS either. |

Astros have meet with Sterling Martes agent and Marte.
Astros seem to wanna add people who hit well and don't strike out alot.
If Marte is obtained the possibility of two of the three young guys could be traded.
More news when it comes around

I just wanted to point out that Pena is 24 years old. Not like we would have a 19 year old playing ss.

I'll say this he is interesting.
I would see what it would take. He almost replaces Correas numbers. Power is an issue but if we could use Chas Siri or Meyers for a Castillo or Marlins trade that would be beneficial.
Story might still be the answer in that department with Pena behind him on the bench.
But the Astros are searching for Non SO guys if they add them to the Lineup.
They also want High end SPs.
Maybe Rodon for 5 yrs 95m?
Or a couple trades for some Young Guys?
Idk
Verlander I don't think he will be back.
But the they want him back and have had good dialog with him. So don't count him out.
I dont think the Astros can pay Correa 10yrs for 325m so I could see him gone for sure.

There are several different ways we could go and still be a great club. We could play Pena at ss and add someone like Bryant to the team. We could add Story/Baez/Semien. I think Bregman could play SS. Again, there are many different directions we could go and they all sound great.

Especially if you factor in the 4 more years of commitment they already have with injury-prone starter, LMJ. |

And Leon gets promoted sometime during the season. |

With all the shifts the Stros employ, Bregs is in the shortstop position a majority of the time. But the key in that shift was the ground CC can cover. Looking at Baez, he is a strikeout machine, also he also goes into extended slumps. Semien's defense has improved, but a downgrade.
If CC wants to go to NY, the consensus of the fans are against the signing, their choice is Seager. CC would face a worse reception than Arod, in the Big Apple, they are still soured on the sign stealing scandal.

Marte just had a career year at age 32. Do not expect a repeat...that said, his average healthy season is still nearly 4.0 WAR, so I would not mind him on this club, and that would let swing-for-the-fences Altuve move down in the order. Wouldn't want to give him more than three years though or pay an AAV that's too high because of his career year. Three years, $60 million would be my max.

Mercy, hasn't seeing Laureano killing us in green been bad enough, now we want to give them three more guys to kill us with? For two years of Chapman coming off his worst season? When we need a shortstop and not another third baseman? I would much rather just play Pena...and sign a cheap SS stopgap if they don't think he's ready. |
