i'm all for it and cool if the Astros want to wait to preserve some leverage. They have been pretty darn good without him so far but if they think they can compete in 2015, he should come up with the injury to Lowrie.

Exit question, when Lowrie comes back and assuming Correa is the starting SS and doing well, what happens to him? Does he or Correa take over 3B? Could Lowrie play 1B? I'm pretty sure he didn't sign on to the Astros as a utility infielder..so what would give? (a Trade?)

 

I honestly don't think the Astros expected to have that issue this year. Correa has a cannon and profiles as a much better 3B, but he's the future and they won't move him off SS until they have to.

If we are winning I highly doubt they would trade contributors unless the offer helped us win this season. My guess is Lowrie becomes the Ben Zobrist super utility guy who still manages to play almost every day. Lowrie has to know when he signed that Correa was the SS when he was ready.

 

yeah, I love Lowrie's veteran presence and he's always come through with the bat. If he can stay healthy, he'd be huge for the Astros in the 2nd half. He could probably play 3B and 1B in addition to SS, DH and 2B so maybe you are right, they have him move all over the place to get him in. Hope he sticks even if/when Correa comes up.

 

Interesting comments from Luhnow. Correa will be up sooner than we think.

I don't remember the exact quote, but I do remember Lowrie said something when he signed about wanting to be here long term, and having no problem moving around to different positions when the time came. Yea, I don't think him or anyone else thought that time would come this soon, but if he truly came here wanting to stay, the fact that we are doing so well and Correa looks better than ever should just be a positive for him

Word is that members of the Astros field staff would love super prospect Carlos Correa up now. Unfortunately, he may be a victim of being too good. It's very likely that the Astros will wait into June partly to reduce the chance of Super Two status for him.​

Astros always wanted a winning/competitive culture for Correa to settle himself into.

The last thing they needed was for him to come to the big leagues and just go through the motions. Because those type of players just put up numbers but don't actually change a team for the better.

Luhnow wanted to establish a winning culture for his prime minor league talent. And it seems that the culture establishment is a bit a head of schedule. It wasn't too long ago that Correa's ETA was 2017. Talk about putting the throttle to the metal.

 

Kudos to Lunhow for setting a winning culture throughout the Houston Astros pipeline. Regarding Correa and him just going through the motions if he was on a non-competitive big league team doesnt compute with me though. Of course you want him in a winning situation but the mental makeup of that kid is by far the strongest I have ever seen. He is natural born leader and would not allow himself and others to just go through the motions for the sake of going through the motions. His draft day interview at the tender age of 17 blew me away with how composed he was already. The kid is something special in more ways than on the field.

Cant wait for us Astros fans to cheer this guy doing big things in 'The Show' for a long time to come.

People keep saying June. June what? June first?

 

After June 15th. I think that's the day they've been "aiming" at...

 

We have a home stand the last week of June vs NYY and KC, look for him then.

 

A debut against the Yankees would be real nice. Put him in those NYC households and start that nationwide Correa brand.
