The Astros have struggled in August to win, but they still have the best record in the AL. They did get shutout yesterday by Patrick Corbin, but the offense came alive in the middle games versus the Diamondbacks. They have some issues in the rotation at the moment, but they have built a strong roster.
Peter Gammons tweeted earlier today that the Astros have fired eight scouts. As Gammons pointed out, the Astros have had a great season with the help of the scouts in the organization. Some of those scouts could have been integral in scouting one of your favorite players.
