If you're continuing to let top talent walk away while not shopping the market for free agents, you have to continually be able to restock.

Worry about Crane the farther we drift away from the foundation Luhnow built.
I think Crane is spoiled by what Luhnow was able to bring in to our farm system over the years and has yet to realize that things have changed. There are no Tucker, Yordan, Framber, Javier or Pena any where on the radar.
He should have realized that replacement from within wasn't going to be tenable once we were forced to forfeit our 1st & 2nd round picks two years in a row.
Letting Bregman walk is absolutely the right move, but it doesn't do any good if you aren't willing to turn around and use that money to acquire a player that you feel can contribute more for the dollar.

Philsophically, I like that Crane doesn't want to sign mega deals that look bad a year or two into them.
Realistically, it's not a sure thing he's going to be able to keep doing that. At a certain point, he's going to have to start keeping some of in-house guys with expiring contracts or dip into free agency.
Either way, the days of signing premier talent with 4- or 5-year deals are probably gone. He's probably going to have to bend on that stance if the Astros are going to remain a contender on a regular basis.
