Not enough to overturn that. Close play but the ball was there in time. 

[tx 3 putt 78,475]

that was funny

 

[TonyTexas 10,685]

You can only sign one. Springer 4/100 or Correa 8/240. Which do you choose? 

[Gourmand 7,778]

Correa, he's younger

[Scraps 13,747]

Hell yeah Brantley

[tx 3 putt 78,475]

professional hitter and flashing some wheels 

[tx 3 putt 78,475]

Half way through the season and Kyle Tucker leads the Astros in OPS, Home Runs, RBIs, SLG and Runs.

[TonyTexas 10,685]

I’ll be the 1st to admit that I had low expectations for Tucker going into the season. What a pleasant surprise. 

[Scraps 13,747]

Glad to see Mayfield not fuck that up

Correa and it’s not close. You are asking do you want to pay prime years for a HOF shortstop or decline years for a really good OF. I love springer. Want to keep him. Think he’s the heartbeat of the team yada yada yada. 
correa only injury risk. 

[WBT 20,886]

Wooooooooo!!

[Scraps 13,747]

Wooooo

[tx 3 putt 78,475]

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[tx 3 putt 78,475]

reddick is going to get another good contract, somewhere 

[Scraps 13,747]

Bye dickhead

[Scraps 13,747]

Would be great if someone would land a killshot here

 

 

[Scraps 13,747]

God dammit

[tx 3 putt 78,475]

springer and altuve need to be spaced out in the line up

 

like little league, space your worst hitters to avoid the automatic 3 out inning 

[WBT 20,886]

Does that MMP Doordash ad they just read include dollar hot dogs?

[tx 3 putt 78,475]

Correa played in 109, 110 and 75 games during his age 22, 23 and 24 seasons. So he has participated in 294/486 regular season games (60%). 

He has HOF talent, to be sure, but I'd be hesitant to go all-in/long-term on a guy that missed 2 out of every 5 games (over a 3-year stretch) in his early 20s. 

Either way, both guys have always seemed intent on getting to free agency rather than signing an extension. All that is subject to change, of course. 

But who knows what the market will be - Correa will be a FA at the same time as Lindor and Seager and Story, I think (?). So the SS market may be a little saturated, and Lindor figures to be the prize (Seager has had trouble staying healthy too). Maybe That makes CC a little more affordable. Difficult to gauge what MLB spending (or anything else in the world) will look like in the winter of 2021.
