Maybe the Red Sox's next GM will come from the Astros organization. I would love to see that, the sooner the better.

I agree with you for sure and that what makes getting there any way that you can so very important. Relying on one specific way to get to the post season and to just be able to compete for a championship is not a recipe for success. It really is why I truly enjoy the hunt - the battle just to be able to play late. I love the fact that this is the approach that our team seems to take. Some times it works and some times it doesn't. Going in to full rebuild mode just guarantees you nothing.
And no one on this board, not even bosoxmal, can remember back to back first place finishes. It is so ridiculous that people are calling for the head of a GM who has had two first place finishes in his first two seasons, especially while singing the praises of a guy that put us through 3 brutal last place finishes in 4 years. It is beyond stupid, bordering on mental illness.
Correa will hit over 30+ HRS next year, probably close to 40. That's the biggest difference between the 2 teams. Even DH not that different. Only played 109 games this year. When he came back Astros took off again.
Just turned 23.

Astros GM was assistant for the Cards. Mozeliak.
Who would you rather have Springer or JBJ?
