Pitchers and catchers will report to the Astros’ camp later this week on February 13. At that moment, Spring Training will have officially arrived for this Houston fan. I can’t speak for anyone else besides myself, but that is exciting. A long winter will start to see its way out the door.
As is customary at this time of year, when camp starts, there is a list of things to monitor, including position battles. How does the bullpen settle? What about the outfield? There is no shortage of intrigue entering Spring Training for this team.
