With Alex Bregman, Carlos Correa, and Jose Altuve heading off to the World Baseball Classic, there will be extra opportunities for young guys to play. With 3/4 of the infield playing elsewhere this Spring, some Houston Astros prospects will get an extra look. These absences mean guys like Tyler White, A.J. Reed, Reid Brignac, and Colin Moran will get extra playing time.
Besides Brignac, none of those players are true shortstops or second baseman.
