Carlos Correa is on the board

Carlos Correa has had a lot of pundits lately saying he won’t contribute much power. He’s only 20 years old, and in his second career game; he homers for the first time in that offense incubator on the South Side of Chicago.

Everyone says he’s an A-Rod clone. Maybe he will be in time in terms of the stats that pile up on the back of his baseball card. But for right now, his swing to me looks like Torii Hunter. And Torii Hunter, despite never playing shortstop; is a pretty good big league hitter.

The home run accounted for the only Astros runs in a 4-2 loss to the White Sox. Man, we really like Carlos Correa. The crown jewell of an organization flush with young talent. The Astros are a great story right now, even if we hated them when they were in the NL Central.
