The Houston Astros have somewhat of a good problem. They have too many starting pitchers.
However, all these starting pitchers aren’t exactly aces. Their real problem is that they have too many back-end-of-the-rotation type pitchers.
Mike Fiers has been in the rotation most of the season and he has struggled. His 4.69 ERA is highest among Astros starters and he doesn’t have the best stuff to get out of jams. His spot should be up for grabs.
Many will say Scott Feldman should replace Fiers. While that’s certainly understandable, Feldman may have better value on the trade market than at the end the Astros’ rotation.
