It’s a Crawfish Boxes tradition to give you somewhere to air your grievances or sing your praises about the Houston Astros, their team, their system, their affiliates, their city, their past, and their future. There doesn’t seem to be a great deal of baseball happening at this time of year, so we glom onto free agency moves like they were the only thing keeping our baseball dreams alive. There is some truth to that. As Houston’s fortunes wane and wax, looking to the future is timeless. Wait till next year, indeed.
