If this lineup were to come around, the Astros could be something special for quite a few years. As an alternative I'm thinking Brandon Barnes in Center and Springer in right.

I'm always amazed at how much of a knife's edge difference there is between and a winning and losing team. If you plug two guys into the Astros (an expected very good Springer and Singleton) the whole...

And today with Cosart's start, the future is looking brighter. Though he did not dominate AAA, he was more than formidable.With Cosart, Springer, Singleton, Villar, Peacock, and Wojo... to start the...

They say Byron Buxton is MLB's best prospect and he looks like it. I hope we didn't blow it. Guess one can rationalize that with Correa we got kind of a 3 for 1 deal. But if Buxton becomes the next...

The real key is also McCullers who could be a top of the rotation arm. It's hard to argue with either path at the moment.

It's still too early in their careers to make any comparisons between Correa and Buxton, given age and small sample size. It's also true that Correa played in a pitcher friendly ballpark and Buxton in...
