Losing Springer and Correa in successive seasons, not to mention Verlander and Greinke, will be a steep, steep hill to climb. Like, the window-has-closed type of hill.

Of course, you are correct in that you must consider what additions are added, but that's two hall of famers and two all-stars potentially on their way to the HOF discussion
Not sure how our window is closing with all 5 of our stud starting pitchers under control for 4+ years plus a core of Altuve, Bregman, Yordon and Tucker under control for the next 3 (and beyond for Tuck and Yordon). That core honestly is as good or better than virtually all the AL teams.


This.

Keeping Correa would be great but it's in no way critical for us staying a contender.

Hell, we might even get Kate back next year at a discount.

This team is positioned to contend for at least a few more years.


Come on, seriously. You can't replace Springer with Straw and Correa with Toro and expect that the pitching will carry you through that.

But I don't want to find out. Resign Carlos or go get a stud replacement. We can all then fight over whether it would have worked out or not.

Not hating, but wonder what the expected BA on those hits were.

Is Abreu still up? Haven't seen him in a while. Can't remember if he's hurt or got sent down

But it's not just 1 to 1.

Sure Straw & Toro (in this scenario) are playing the positions as Springer & Correa, but you've also replaced Reddick with Tucker, Gattis with Alvarez, freed up money to pay Brantley, sign Leon, etc. you keep making moves like this you keep the window open and flexibility. You lock in Correa to 10 years and he isn't the guy you need or he's hurt then what? You're screwed.

Now I am not opposed to signing Correa. I'm just curious to what it would be. I'm sure Crane/Click have a limit, I have one in my head, and the market will be another.

Your extrapolation assumes that there are a Tucker and Alvarez in the minors. What are those odds?

That may be, or the Astros are just turning it on. Didn't the Sox have the best record in baseball before coming to Houston?

Garza. Turn around and look at the scoreboard. You have a 6 run lead. Throw ****ing strikes, make them hit their way on. It's really pretty simple at this point.

With all the hype around the WS, I thought this would have been a series that a split would have been acceptable. I am ecstatic with the sweep.

Now, take care of business on the road.
