Astros’ Carlos Correa’s free agency—
“Carlos Correa is set to cap off a career season. In terms of
WAR, the
Astros shortstop has never put together a better season. An fWAR of 5.5 is the high mark of his big-league tenure, as is a bWAR of 7.2.”

I love his glove, and arm—quick, strong and accurate, a great shortstop. Streaky at the plate but a power bat at SS, a big game bat. Team leader on and off the field, just turned 27, and a free agent. A 6’4” SS who had injury problems ‘17, ‘18 and ‘19–can he physically hold up.
His free agency after this season has been a cloud hanging over Astro fans because he will want close to Francisco Lindor numbers (341 million, 10 years) and the ‘Stros will not come close to that, and probably shouldn’t. But his fielding, grit, leadership and power bat will be greatly missed.
