How Jeremy Pena has turned out to be a very good bet for the Astros.
The biggest Astros storyline of the offseason coming off of 2021 and heading into 2022 was the future of shortstop Carlos Correa. You could split the Astro faithful right down the middle, as for every fan that wanted Jim Crane to #PayTheMan there was a fan who wanted Crane to let Correa walk, and find an alternative shortstop solution.
From there, the team could have identified alternative, cheaper-than-Correa veteran free agent solutions like Trevor Story, who was still available when the team finalized its determination to move on from Correa. Instead, they went with the solution I am guessing they were going with all along — minor league shortstop Jeremy Pena.
Hell, even H-E-B has quickly fallen out of love with Correa, and slid Pena into the corny ads they run during the Astros games:So I say"Good for you, Pena!" It's not easy replacing a player as touted, as elite defensively, as solid offensively, and as big a culture bastion as Correa, and Pena has done so with a sublime combination of productivity and maturity.
