Correa’s comments make me thinks it’s all but a done deal. Crane won’t give him the years he wants I don’t think. He’s been my favorite Astro for years now but I can understand why Crane wouldn’t give him the years. This year was the first year in a long ass time he’s made it through the season.
I could see someone like Semien replacing him. Made 18M a year and is 31. Sportrac has his value at 19.5M (Seager at 31, Story 29, Correa 26, Baez 24)
Gotta go get pitching. I love Stroman (Sportrac value at 21M) and I agree with the point above adding 2 quality starters. I haven’t looked at it enough or know enough about it but I’d guess another contract similar to Stroman’s deal, or take a shot at someone like DeSclafani from SF (13-7, 3.17 ERA, 3.9 WAR - Sportrac value at 10M ) that had a good year and could get for cheaper making LMJ #2 in the rotation. Bring back Raley, Graveman if possible.
Not against bringing Maldonado back. Don’t hate Vazquez from Boston either
(.258/.308/.352 with a 1.0 WAR). He made 7 M last year.
I like Siri being our starting CF. McCormick can play all over the OF and can be that UTIL plug in guy. Have Meyers as Siri’s backup.
Now again I’m not as in tune as some of y’all so maybe I sound like a fuck but this is kinda where I am with it. Coming to grips with Correa not being an Astro.
