David Lamb
May be a little early but his production at the plate and steady defense is an upgrade.

Wow!!!…..

Exciting times with all the recent call-ups!

So many prospects getting the call up early on. Prospect lists are going to look dramatically different by the end of the season
R.D.
This is the biggest influx of new talent in quite a few years. Similar to when Harper, Strasburg, Freeman, cutch, trout, and goldy were all getting their chances.

This seems rushed….would have waited…gave him more time in triple-A…..

Villar loses games. Anything is better than that.
Jane Galt
Like today, you mean?

Villar is not a smart baseball player. He’s got great speed, but doesn’t run the bases well at all. He occasionally comes through with a big hit, but then gives the runs right back by throwing the ball away. If this is who he is, he shouldn’t be in the majors. Correa is an absolute upgrade, even if he sits at .220 the rest of the season.
Brixton G.
Seems rushed, but if they view Correa as the best SS option in their organization for right now, then why not? Hes gonna develop somewhere, so why not let him be better then Villar/Gonzalez right now, while developing in a divison race.

I remember not too long ago, the old Astros FO wouldn’t call up anyone and ended up ruining quite a few prospects. Some Astros “fans” have bashed Jim Crane and Jeff Luhnow unmercifully for the first few years of their tenure here. I don’t hear those people now…
Stonehands
Midseason top 50 lists are going to be really different. Seager and Lindor have decent shots at getting a call as well. New top 5 will probably be Buxton, Giolito, Urias, with 3-4 bats fighting it out for the final 2 slots.
sgtschmidt11
There are rumors Buxton will be up by mid-June so he might not be there either!
Stonehands
I don’t know about that one. He lost a year developmentally last season and has limited action at double-A. I’d give it a Sept. call up if i had to guess
Bob Bunker
yoan moncada could probably be in the top 5. I see the top 5 being Seager (where would he play if called up), Buxton, Urias, Giolito, Moncada.
Stonehands
Seager would play SS. Rollins has been awful. Top 5 could most likely be any mixture of 7 or 8 names depending on call ups (Buxton, moncada, giolito, Seager, urias, crawford, schwarber, glasnow) any 5 of those named would not surprise me
Jane Galt
I think it’s an ownership decision. Astros have a reduced fan base after purposely tanking 2010-2013 plus less than 50% TV availability in viewership area because of a contract dispute. The fans are down after 4 game losing streak, especially after the debacle today. This will help the bottom line, even though it may be a bit rushed.
Pei Kang
Excited to see what this kid can do, love to see youngsters in the bigs! Waiting for Seager next.
RichardJarzynka
They’re rushing him and it’s a mistake.

Hinch first speech to Correa. “Welcome to the big leagues. Now go out and hit off Chris Sale!”
willi
The Young man is not Ready, This could hurt his confidence and set him back more years than necessary.
seanbergmanrules
I was going to disagree with you, but your unorthodox capitalization convinced me you know what you’re talking about.
Portland Micro-Brewers
Seager’s next. Carlos, Addison, Robertson and Seager were all HS SS picked in the 2012 1st round. Seager’s put up the best numbers of anyone in that group, in my opinion.
