re: DAT 4/21: Astros (Keuchel) vs. Rangers (Griffin)...7:05pm @ Texas

Its possible that this might just be a lost year. Several holes in the lineup and below average pitching. We've got a solid group with Altuve, Correa and Springer. Jury is still out on White. With Moran, Reed and possibly Kemp on their way to fill the roles of some of these under performing vets.

There's a gap in pitching with Martes and Musgrove at AA but not quite ready yet. I don't think its a wise decision to rape the system again to get another Kazmir or Gomez that don't work out. We've got a young core of players with more talent on the way. The Rangers are old and their window is closing, The Angels are Mike Trout and nothing else. Mariners..who knows. We should be setting up for long term success within this division even if it means this year goes bust.
