The Astros are in the midst of a stiff competition for both starters and relievers to complete their opening day pitching staff. Bryan Abreu finds himself right in the middle that battle to make the team’s 26-man roster. From what we’ve seen, he has proven that he deserves to join the team when they return to Houston.
Even though Abreu ranked in the top five of the Astros Top 30 Prospects last season, it was somewhat of a surprise to see him get the callup late last year. After all, he had never pitched above the AA level in his Minor League career.
