When the Houston Astros traded Jed Lowrie back to the Oakland Athletics on Wednesday, the reaction was decidedly mixed. Lowrie is clearly a good player, when healthy, and some have noted that the Astros aren't exactly rich in corner infield options.
The question, however, is this: Would the Houston Astros front office agree?
There has been a lot of buzz among some fans this offseason about the Astros acquiring a corner infielder with a big bat. Someone like Joey Votto, or Chris Davis. But even without dipping into free agency or putting together a trade, the Astros have some interesting choices to make this year.
