Brown and Espada are placeholders. Brown is basically here to rebuild the farm system because that's the unglamorous work Crane/Bagwell/Jackson/Biggio aren't interested in or qualified to do. But I don't have much faith Brown will be any good at it.

Not sure who the next GM/manager combo will be when the Astros are good again because that may be a long time off. But I have a hunch it won't be Brown and Espada. Both seem too weak in their jobs to have much of an impact in any sort of success.

I agree, but I fear the replacements will just be their clones. This is Crane’s team now and I just don’t see him doing what’s necessary to bring in anything but yes men to tilt nipple to meatheads like Bagwell and Jackson. What he’s done since the end of 2022 has been inexplicable.

Commenting on an earlier post about Dana Brown’s interview today, it was like this last year too. He would say shite, then have to walk it back like a scolded child. He’s not running things and he knows it.
