It’s still a little over three weeks until the Astros play their first regular season game against the Rays in Tampa Bay. But it’s good to hear the crack of the bats in Spring Training games, and we’re one-third of the way into the Grapefruit League’s season. The veterans are slowly ramping up their playing time and the prospects are getting their chance to strut their stuff.
Although ten games is a small sample for any in-depth analysis, it’s good to see the offense is alive and well early on in the process. The prospects are getting the lion’s share of the playing time, but as the Spring Training season progresses, the veterans are slowly working in more innings.
