So you mention: Former Natural Rivals Rotating Natural Rivals New Natural Rivals I think you missed a few
Oh I'll see the first pitch But if Harris Luke and Giles get a shot to finish it I'll hear about it tomorrow
Correa has one HR last 27 games. A month earlier, he had another one-homer 25-game stretch. Very good young player, but hopefully next season he makes additional strides.

Yup still in Seattle. Gots my glove, Astros shirt and cap ready to go. And I'll be at the Texas-Cal game tomorrow. Good 2 days of sports.
Without looking up stats, I'm guessing Correa has had the best first 2 seasons of any player in Astros history. Maybe with the exception of Berkman? He doesn't need to drastically do anything except continue to mature. He's 21, his approach will evolve and a lot of those early strikes are going to be destroyed.
