This hire seems very underwhelming but it doesn't seem awful so I think that's a net positive.

Its not really about the candidate they chose, its about the clear signal that the way this org makes decisions and who has the actual authority has not changed.

We'll see if he has any real input on the manager hire. I thought Linares would get it so we'll see.

There is a reason Kleine asked for the POBO title... To make it clear he answered only to Crane. Very smart on his part. Crane denying it confimed he wpuld have no real power to shape the strategy and he wisely stayed put.
He has seen how a true world class org is run and this aint it anymore.

I give it 2 years more or less
All bets off if Crane dies

Come on Elon. You need a new toy.
It is your destiny to own the Astros.
End this crane induced misery.

I keep going back to that rumored deal with Abreu for Larnach at the trade deadline.
Who knows if everything being reported was on the level and I’m not bringing this up to argue the merits of why it should or shouldn’t have been done, review in hindsight etc. The reason I bring it up is that at the time this was not only objectively a very decent deal… unloading a relief pitcher who is about to become a free agent for an outfielder (a position of desperate need) with a couple of years of control…but also, it wasn’t some kind of blockbuster deal where your owner needs to be involved. The GM should’ve been allowed to do his job. If Crane and co are undermining relatively average deals, there is absolutely zero chance that any GM is going to be allowed to make major wholesale changes. This was only three months ago. I find it hard to believe that any philosophies have changed.

I think the status quo is well established, which is a 3 or 4 year contract and he will let it expire and bring in another. That’s what has happened with Click, Dana, Espada. Dusty may have gotten a one year extension?

He extended Baker a year because Baker wanted to try to win 2 in a row. They didn’t, Baker left.
Have no idea what Flores will do, but until I see someone neuter Cranewell or succeed in spite of them, I won’t expect much.

If tweet fails to load, click here. Also the issue isn’t the Flores hire per say
but it does you no good whoever you hire unless you let them make decision and do the job you hired them to do. All you can do is hope for the best

The Houston Astros made an offer to Matt Kleine to be their general manager, per sources. (@Chandler_Rome had this portion first).
NEW: Randy Flores interviewed for the Astros GM job before Kleine. He was told the Astros "were going a different direction." Once Kleine declined the offer Flores was back in the running and named GM 48 hours later.
