2021-2022 Astros Offseason Thread
Why cant they find a deal where the $$ tapers off but Correa gets the years? 32/year for the first 5 years, 20 million after that. Or something similar.

Why? They are Anaheim 2.0, complete with Kole Calhoun..They have so much money tied up in these 2 guys they won't do shit for the duration of this contract.

If JV sucks next season, he'll take the option at the end of 2022 to play in 23.. So the Astros deal is indeed better..

Golden Corral, Pancho's and Other Low-Brow Eateries of Your Youth
Cici's pizza after track meets in HS.. When I went, It was all you can eat for only 2.99. We used to compete on how many slices to eat.. 27 was the record from the 800/1600 runner.

It could still go either way for JV.. He may see them as a contender and take a hometown discount...or there may not be enough $$ for Detroit to sign him..

Teams that are on top are going to lose assistant coaches. It happens in every sport. We all know the examples of teams that continue to he great in spite of this, and the ones that come back down to Earth. Trust in Jim Crane. He has given us no reason not to thus far.

If its going to be all of 2022 are we rolling with Siri and Chaz?

2021-2022 Astros Offseason Thread
I remember last season we were gnashing teeth over signing Jackie Bradley Jr. He ended up sucking, and it turned out the Astros FO had a much better plan that involved Straw, Chaz, and Jake. So I hope if the FO does (or doesn't) do something, its because they have another Ace up their sleeve.

Arlington has such a long way to go. That rebuild is in the very early stages in their best case scenario.. some of the guys they are counting on have to pan out.. Like Leodys Garcia. It will be interesting to see if CC factors that into his decision at all.

Bregman can move to SS. But I don't see Bryant coming to Houston.

Maldonado/Castro can handle catcher until Lee comes up.. I'm in agreement about TOP pitchers, you can't have too many.

2021-2022 Astros Offseason Thread
You have always been a constant on the Astros thread.. I remember when there were like 6 of us who posted during those 100 loss seasons. We had to endure constant ridicule from Ranger fanboys and our only hope was Altuve learing how to not strike out, and the promise of Correa and Springer being called up. I was in Laredo on business when Correa got the call up.. I was stoked, and spent 30 minutes calling restaurants to see if they televised the game. BW3's had it; remember those were the days we had the tv contract issues.. When Springer was called up, it was my first time watching an illegal feed on my computer. It has indeed been a wild ride. I would imagine if someone told us in 2013 we would win a WS and go to 2 others before 2022 we would be pretty damn stoked. Good news is, its not over. far from it.

2021 Houston Astros Thread
Take solice in the fact that we have Jim Crane, who has proven he will do whatever it takes to win. 2025 is a long way off and its hard to predict anything other than the fact the roster will be almost completely different.

2021 Houston Astros Thread
All we can do is hope he is offered and accepts what he's worth. Its a 2 way street. And when there's a leadership void, that void is filled. Altuve and Bregman can slide right in..

2021 World Series: Houston Astros vs. Atlanta Braves
Yes. The owner has indicated as much. He isn't going to overpay, however.. I know that's not what you want to hear, but the Astros will be contenders the next few seasons, barring epic disaster.
