re: Will the Astros finally spend big money this winter?

the greatest need is bats

need to fill at least 3 of 4 needs

C
1B
DH
OF


they MIGHT have answers at ONE of those in the
A if Bregman gets more time in the OF next year in Spring Training
or B
the Cuban can be taught to play first if he struggles at 3rd and of course

C either MIGHT be an upgrade at DH at a minimum

so Houston MIGHT already have 1/3 answers OF 1B DH

but MAYBE ,just a 3B with a better stick


easiest to fill is DH,, rent-a-stick

I think C is the greatest need ,

the 'stros have at 3 players that could at least be serviceable at 1b

then your left with the OF


its a mess

but the ONE question you don't have an answer for is C

and theres not a lot available as FA
