Carlos Correa

[Lefty]

I do hope Springer and Correa help their teams beat the everliving fuck out of the Yankees and Dodgers, and I’ll admit that I find Cole’s occasional struggles entertaining.

[JimR (Coach)]

Yup, yo tambien.

And I don’t know I’d go as far as to say Peña is of equal or better talent than Correa. But he’s one guy on the team. The idea is to put a team in the field that can accomplish the ultimate goal, and Peña certainly gave them that.

This, so much this.

@RTB

I’ll add that those who are very upset with Correa, should brace themselves regarding Kyle Tucker. He’s most likely going to go the same path. It’s just the nature of the beast. I don’t like it, but it is. If he does for two more years what he’s done the last 2-3 years, he’s getting $300M or very close to it. The Astros have never done a contract to that level. Let’s all sit back and see what Crane does.

Goddamnit, it’s Friday afternoon. Why do you have to bum me out with your logical premise that may very well likely come true?

[Lefty]

The Stros just drafted 3 high potential OF replacements who would/could be ready about the time we have to worry about Tucker.

Feel better now?

[Shorething (Bruce Fraser)]

The whole idea IMHO. Draft for weakness in future. SS always good. I never wanted Correa to go. MLB analysts always liked our current SS defensively. I think that is another area our team excels. Question was bat. He produced well year before arriving, also with injury same year. Hind aight is 20/20. I believed in him, could have also been very wrong. Some times you go by your guts, can often be wrong.

Does the phrase “lite the cnadle” mean anything to you?

[Col.SphinxDrummond]

Bruce is the new Fredia

Not. Even. Close.

I can’t tell what he’s talking about either.

[D.WARD (Scott)]

I miss seeing Fredia post.

[austro (Mark)]

I fear the worst there. I’m sure there will be no announcement here when I kick the bucket.

[juliogotay (joe roddy)]

I do not. She didn’t even try to post something intelligent. But I do hope she is doing ok.

I always felt like she played the character she thought we expected her to play, especially over the last few years.

It had become very tiresome.
As I said on the Thanksgiving thread, one of the best things about this forum is that (almost) all of it’s members have enough courtesy and respect for other members to communicate ideas with a reasonable effort to form complete sentences, and spell, capitalize, and punctuate reasonably well.

I’m not advocating for pedantry, but the sort of word salad bullshit that flares up occasionally here is tantamount to disrespectful shit-posting.

[JimR (Coach)]

You are being way too hard on her.

[Texifornia]

@JimR

You are being way too hard on her.

I wasn’t primarily talking about her.

[JimR (Coach)]

@Texifornia

It had become very tiresome.

Your opening sentence said otherwise. She is from Zwolle, La, think. They may not know about pedantry there.

[Ty_in_Tampa (Michael Tyson)]

While I was very tolerant of her as she was an endearing member here, I’ve had her on ignore for some time.

[SoonerJim]

The Dodger reception accorded Correa combines the double whammy of an Astros pedigree coupled with the hated archrival Giants playing status; should be fun to watch
