My colleague Clack commented on the pursuit of Cedric Mullins. I have hardly anything to add to that analysis as he correctly pointed out the red flags in Mullins’ profile. However, the recent news that Yordan Alvarez will miss at least six more weeks might have Dana Brown a little more desperate. So, the need for a left fielder/left-handed bat is that much more important as the Houston Astros approach the trade deadline.
Before I even release the name I am thinking of, we need to look at the three important obstacles facing the Astros at this point.
