James Click's Houston Astro GM Tenure — Three Best Moves, Three Worst Moves

In the end, none of the conjecture about Crane's management style matters, as the Astros' owner will continue to run the team as he sees fit. One thing we can do, though, is officially close the book on the James Click Era. While Click's apologists probably overstate just how much he meant to this team's second world title, there is no denying he did some good things while in charge. He also had some moves he'd probably like back.

So let's take a look at the top of each of those lists — James Click's three best moves and three worst moves as the Astros' GM:There is no denying that Click had a knack for finding cheap labor with upside for the Astros' bullpen. Lots of it. Stanek was probably one of his biggest success stories. Signed in January 2021, Stanek quickly turned into a guy the team turned to to get important outs in 2021. In 2022, he took a big step forward, leading all relievers in ERA at 1.15.
