When talking about the Houston Astros, the focus has always been on the future. But today, I tell you I think the Astros are built well enough as currently constructed to compete this year.
Do I think they will win make the playoffs? No.
Do I think they will be in the playoff hunt heading towards the trade deadline? I say no tentatively.
Do I think they will once again lose 90 games? No.
While the future in Houston is certainly very bright, the present isn’t going to be quite the disappointment the past few years have been.
