Although the Houston Astros fell 9-0 to the Miami Marlins on Friday, Manager Dusty Baker sent out the soon to be Sugar Land Skeeters behind Zack Greinke to evaluate depth. While the fourth outfielding spot is still up in the air, the team hasn’t been testing many players in centerfield, and with Steven Souza Jr. out of the picture, they will rely on unexperienced depth to open the season.
From left to right, Michael Brantley, Myles Straw and Kyle Tucker are locks for the outfield, while Yordan Alvarez will DH and be listed among this group.
