While the taste of defeat is still fresh in the mouth of Houston Astros fans, Astros president Reid Ryan made a shocking announcement. According to David Barron of the Houston Chronicle, the team has “suspended their planned $15 million renovation of center field and the seating areas and concourses behind center field, which was scheduled to be in place for next season.” In plain English, the Hill is staying for 2016.
It looks like Evan Gattis will still be able to get some triples in 2016, Carlos Gomez should join the falling on the hill club, and Carlos Correa will lose a few homers without the pulled in fence.
