The eight Houston Astros participating in this great event, Nori Aoki, Jose Altuve, Carlos Correa, Alex Bregman, Carlos Beltran, Luke Gregerson, Kevin Chapman, and Diaz, will soon start leaving to represent their countries. One of these players, Aoki, has already left after appearing in two Spring Training games (and looking strong too, going 3 for 6).
Though it is unfortunate that Houston Astros fans will not be able to see our full-strength lineup until later in the spring, this opportunity is golden for the young ‘Stros trying to impress the organization.
