props to the scouts of the Astros organization for finding this gem.  I had no idea CC's replacement would be so f'n good, anticipated just an average SS, but my god the blessings continue and continue. 

I wonder if they knew he would be this good right out the gate.  Damn. No wonder we didn't fight much to keep CC.

So Correa’s arm, do we miss it? 

I have been thinking about this awhile and Pena's throws have gotten noticeably stronger as the year has gone by.  It was very underwhelming in the first half.  Not sure what caused the improvement, but I like it.  He's not bouncing every throw anymore.  Still not on Correa's level.

Sometimes I just wondered if he didn’t realize that a AAA throw won’t work in the big time. But his throws did start weak and have gotten better.
