When it was just Bregman it was a little annoying. That's pretty funny though.

I like it, lightens up the game a little. It will probably start a trend.

I still say Bregman's schtick is a rip off of this Iowa Cubs player.

People may not like his swagger, but Bregman is a gamer and has shown more consistency than Springer and Correa. He’s earning his stripes. He’s their de facto #2 offensive weapon now.

I think Pedro Martinez is jumping the gun a little with this "face of baseball" stuff,but, Bregman has the makings of a future superstar. His swagger and cockiness helps make him a good player and probably a future great player. Until this season, I thought that Correa was the next one of our core players we needed to lock into a long-term deal.....I have changed my mind. We have Altuve locked down and Bregman should be our next target for a contract extension. I also want Springer locked down. Correa has to show he produce consistently before i'd give him a long-term, multi-million dollar deal. He needs to be consistent with the bat, stay healthy and avoid injuries like this mysterious back stiffness that kept him out 6 weeks, etc. He doesn't seem as focused as he did last year when they were trying to win their first WS. Right now, Bregman is a much more valuable member of this team than Correa.

I agree about Springer, but I don’t know how you’d want him locked down over Correa. He’s by far the streakier of the two and plays a less premium position.

Bregman isn't a star though... He is an emerging star, but, he's not there yet. Altuve and Verlander are the stars on this team. They have earned the right to be called stars. |

When I think of a "star" player I think of a guy that year in year out is going to dominate. Bregman is having a very good year, I think if he follows this up with a great year next year and the year after he would qualify as a star and not just a player having a great year or two.

By this criteria then Springer and Correa certainly don't meet that. Which is something I have said all along? They are at times really good players but are far from being dominant and in the top five percent. What percentage are true Stars in baseball anyway? Only one on the Astros that meet that criteria are Altuve! |

Only one on the Astros that meet that criteria are Altuve! I agree. Correa, Springer, and Bregman are all well above average players with "star" potential. A few years ago everyone said that Justin Upton was a super star. Today when I think in terms of super star or even star I do not think of Upton. He has had a few star years but he is not consistently great. |

You guys are harsh. Bregman is a star. He’s not a superstar like Altuve, but he could be later on in his career. Springer and Correa are also star players. Springer, in the World Series, played like a superstar.

Multiple award winning players on a championship bteam are stars. They're not "superstars" or anything, but they're star players. When other players are saying they could be the face of the league, they're a star.

Springer, in the World Series, played like a superstar. Altuve is a star.....no question about it..........Bregman is a star in the making,but, he is not there yet.......Springer needs to be more consistent to be a star........Correa was a star in the making last season,but, he has regressed this season. He is n't close to playing to his potential. I still question his toughness and ability to concentrate on his job. He is not as close to being a star as Bregman and Springer, not because he lacks the ability, but because he appears to lack the mentality. |

Springer, not because he lacks the ability, but because he appears to lack the mentality.
Is it Mentality or is it, Heart. I say that because what makes a Great Player over a Very Good Player. I call it Heart, Meaning they Refuse to Not Exceed. Let's take Altuve as an example. He was told to go Home but His HEART refuses to let him. Being Smart doesn't mean you Have the Heart to Excel. It is Something that the person that has a burning desire. See Springer was born with the ability and Physical body but he in NO WAY will ever be the Player Altuve is. It is all in the Heart. Now he might find it someday but he doesn't have it now. It shows it in his play and desire.
Mentality doesn't give you that Extra

He has shown no guts, no heart, and not many brains. |

He's having a down year for sure, but he has shown tons of passion for the team. |
