Losing Justin Verlander has no hurt the Houston Astros rotation like it might have. Youngsters have stepped up in a big way to mitigate the damage. If only the young bats could say the same thing. Between Kyle Tucker, Abraham Toro, Myles Straw, and the sporadic appearances of Taylor Jones, there hasn’t been a lot to be excited about.
