A World Series trophy for the Astros this year may be more important than ever after the controversies of the offseason. These players have a chip on their shoulders and want nothing more than to show the world that talent, and only talent, is what makes this team successful.
I don’t think anyone here has any doubt that this team still has one of the best lineups in baseball. Players and fans around the league may have their doubts and anticipate a possible drop off in performance without any “unfair advantages”. But the bats won’t be the problem this season.
