Baseball America released its midseason farm system rankings today. The Astros are 29th.
No 1st or 2nd round picks for a 2nd year in 21. Springer, Brantley, Reddick and Yuli are free agents after the season. JV, Grienke and Correa after 2021. If this shite keeps up, its gonna be tempting to tear it down and reinfuse the farm with talent.
On the other hand, I'm sure there's also the thought of bringing back one of Springer or Brantley, possibly Yuli and hope to get JV healthy and give it one last shot with this group in 2021. But its clear they're going nowhere fast this season.

Would love to see a large extension or new contract... but I would bet against it happening.
quote:
Brantley
50/50... his two healthy (so far) seasons in Houston have definitely raised his stock, but he'll be going into his age 34 season. I could see a 4-5 year deal from the Astros.
quote:
Reddick
Bye, Felicia.
quote:
Yuli
I see him back on a 2-3 year deal.
quote:
JV
Too much up in the air to say... I could see him giving it another year or two, but it might be as a hired gun for a team with a better 2022 outlook.
quote:
Grienke
Very little chance he's an Astro after his contract is up. Wouldn't be surprised if he retires, or takes a 1-2 year deal elsewhere.

Correa
Going to go after the big $$$ and it won't be in Houston, I'd bet.

It's all about JV, IMO. I could be mistaken but I think they're on the hook for his salary no matter what next season. Any vet deal counts right? If he's hurt, that's 33 million against the luxury tax straight down the shitter. Doesn't seem possible to assemble a championship team in that scenario and I think they'd look towards the future. Probably wouldn't spend big on any of those guys and instead start retooling for the 4 years they have left of Altuve and Bregman (and Yordan). Trading Greinke and Correa would make sense in that scenario.

With the extension of Dusty, I think it is clear what Click plans to do with this team.
Springer will play out this season.
Correa will be traded before next season begins.
JV will be trade bait next season, if he can get healthy.
Astros will limp through 2021 season. Hope to be competitive again 2022.
All that said... can they please bring up Alvarez already? He can not possible be worse than having Straw in the lineup.
