Houston Astros Rumors: Do the Stros need Justin Upton?
The good thing about the Houston Astros is that they are in contention to be in the playoff hunt in the 2015 season. The bad news is that they are not ready to be contenders with several holes on their roster. No, I am not saying the Astros are bad, but they have accelerated the process and are relevant sooner than they thought. They are also dealing with some down seasons from some key players including the number three hitter last year Jason Castro and 2014 home run leader Chris Carter. At the time of writing, the perceived holes in the Astros are starting pitcher, first base, reliever, outfielder, and catcher.
So far I have addressed some of these concerns in the post below.
