So we’re heading into Spring Training and I feel like I know nothing…
Hoping you guys can get me up to speed on what the Astros have been up to this off season.
Feels like other than the Correa drama, nothing has really changed roster-wise except losing Grienke (he's gone, right?).
What else is happening?
Any interesting Spring Training invitees?
Who are some surprise / dark horse candidates to maybe make the opening day roster?
What does the opening day starting lineup look like?
- 1B Yuli
- 2B Altuve
- SS Correa (what if he's gone…is it Pena?)
- 3B Breggermans
- OF Tucker, Brantley…then who? Is it Chas and Meyers?
- DH Yordan
- Aledmys still the super-sub?
(If Correa somehow stays and we run it back with this…hell, I ain't compaining. This looks like a WS repeat offensive team to me.)
SP
- Framber
- Urquidy
- Garcia
- Verlander
- McCullers (when does it look like he might be back?)
- Odorizzi (is he staying?)
- Whitley (any chance he makes the opening day roster?)
I'm not sure if this looks like a WS rotation unless McCullers comes back dominant and Verlander flashes something.
RP
- Pressly
- …and a similar cast as last year? (Javier, Stanek, Maton, Josh James, Paredes?)
Did we sign any free agents at all during the off season?
Thanks y'all
