Without Kyle Tucker and, presumably, Alex Bregman, the lineup will look noticeably different in 2025. It'll help that Isaac Paredes and Christian Walker plan to fill this void somewhat. I don't think the lineup's production with the switch will drop that much. FanGraphs' Depth Chart projections seemingly agree with the Astros' currently projected sixth in batting runs, even if that position feels a tad high in my mind, considering the outfield situation. I am willing to be wrong, though.

That offensive projection indicates that the infield positions and Yordan Alvarez will do much of the heavy lifting at the plate.
