Yet, they seem to routinely produce major league talent (Peña, Hunter Brown, Melton, etc.) from the farm system. Am I tripping or is th...

Are our recent deals for Hader and Altuve good deals? Do they give Crane the financial latitude to bring in talent e...

I'm worried that we don't have the offense to compete for a World Series, or even an ALCS. We're 27th in AVG and 18th in OPS. Last year, our +/- as among the top 3, but now closer to 10th. Am I jumping to conclusions too early in the season or is our offense a cause for real concern? Been loving our renaissance, but am worried that with Correa, a locker room leader, gone, we're not what we used to be, despite Pena's stellar play. I hope someone can prove me wrong!
