“I come to bury Caesar and not to praise him.” — Mark Antony
Jim Crane has been a popular punching bag around these parts. I get it on a certain level. Nearly everyone from the 2017 championship team is gone. Jose Altuve is the only man standing. I suppose if you were going to pick someone from that team to keep around for the long haul, he would be the guy. Still, anyone that is a fan of the Astros has to be a little upset to see another couple of franchise cornerstones (including Justin Verlander) walk out the door.
