Should the Astros pursue Brandon Nimmo?
After Michael Brantley’s departure, the Astros are said to be looking for a left-handed hitting corner outfielder according to The Athletic. With Brantley leaving an important void to fill in the lineup, there’s someone who can take his place, someone that actually is pretty similar to Uncle Mike and can bring great value to the Astros lineup.
That man is Brandon Nimmo, who just put up a 5.1-bWAR season – that would have tied José Altuve in fourth place among all Astros players in 2022. Despite having a track record of injuries, the star outfielder would eliminate the Astros’ need in the outfield as he can play anywhere in the yard.
