Altuve is on the back half of his career. And there are clearly times where his approach hurts them.
Alvarez is their best power hitter who you can’t really play out in the field because of his limitations.
Bregman can be streaky but when he’s on, he’s on, and he’s probably your best glove on the infield.
Tucker was their best all around player. Could hit for contact and for power and is still young. He’s someone they could have rebuilt around but Crane is too damn prideful to try to do a one year soft rebuild.
They have plenty of holes/question marks in the rotation and should probably trade Framber now and recoup their farm system before they lose him for nothing in free agency.
They have brought good/great players up through their system but their refusal/archaic approach to not extend their contracts past 6 years, is going to rapidly close that window. Lost Springer, Correa, Tucker, now Bregman. Refused to try to resign Cole, same with Verlander (then gave up their best prospects they had left to get him back).
They’re paying $39 mil to two first basemen, with one not even on the roster anymore. They have had three GMs over this course with no real solid direction because Crane likes to get overly involved.
The hope is dwindling and this is all stuff biased Houston sports radio has been saying as well.
