The future is bright for the Houston Astros. When I say the future, I’m including 2018. We are enjoying the growing pains felt through the 100 loss seasons. Jeff Luhnow had the idea to accumulate prospects, with the understanding that they may lose some.
Despite the trades for Justin Verlander and Gerrit Cole, they still have a great farm system. They have lost some good prospects via trades over the past three seasons chasing a championship. In all honesty, I’m not that bothered by it. You have to give up something to get something.
