Houston Astros fans have been excited to see Alex Bregman come up to the big club since he was drafted #2 overall last year. In barely more than a year, he has worked his way up through the system, endured a rookie slump, and now become an essential cog in the lineup at the #2 slot in the batting order.
While the club anticipated Bregman being a solid player for the big-league club, they likely envisioned him in a Marwin Gonzalez-type role: a little 3B, a little LF, a little DH, spell Correa and Altuve, a little explosiveness off the bench, etc.
