One of my criticisms about the Astros earlier in the year was the lack of starting pitching on the depth chart. Let me rephrase that — available and proven starting pitchers, something every contender needs on its roster. Lance McCullers Jr. and José Urquidy were frequently mentioned throughout the first half as potential reinforcements who could possibly contribute at some point. The hope was, with improved health and good fortune, Houston could eventually settle in with their projected rotation with some interesting arms on the fringe to step in when required. J.P. France, Hunter Brown, Ronel Blanco, Spencer Arrighetti, take your pick.
