Last thing I want is to sell the farm and put it all on this year...I don't think anybody is asking for that. But with a trade or 2 made I don't see how Astros fans wouldn't be atleast a little optimistic about postseason success
Come playoff time...
Springer
Altuve
Correa
Gattis
Lowrie
Tucker
3rd outfielder in Rasmus/Marisnick
Black hole at 1B
Black hole at C when it's Castro
So that's 2 1/2 black holes (I'll consider 3rd outfielder half of one) which is way better than what we've had recently. And that's all based on not acquiring any positional player or calling up someone who makes an impact
Then you got Keuchel, LMJ, acquired trade, McHugh for playoff series
Not the most dominant by any means but what rotation out of serious contenders in the AL is truly elite? Royals aren't and they are the big favorites right now. Angels, Yankees, Twins, Orioles, Blue Jays all have talent but nothing overwhelming
All I'm saying is that I completely understand all the flaws our team has, trust me. But looking at the rest of the AL I don't see anybody who I wouldn't give us a chance against. Now if we were in the NL that's a different story with STL, Pitt, Washington, LA...

With a healthy Springer and Lowrie we can beat the Royals, Yankees, and Angels in a series. I'm not saying we would be favored but we all know this roster as currently constructed could compete with and beat all of the division leaders right now. Yes we are ahead of schedule and no we should not sell the farm for one year, but we have built up organizational depth and have logjams of prospects at a couple of different positions. The way this season has played out with a weaker AL and us being ahead of schedule we should absolutely take a chance of moving some of those prospects for a player that gives us a better chance to win this year, as well as the next at minimum.
