The Houston Astros are one of the few teams in Major League Baseball who can boast that they have two legitimate aces on their pitching staff. Both Hunter Brown and Framber Valdez have been outstanding this season, and are one of the biggest reasons that Houston is in position to return to the MLB Postseason for the ninth consecutive season.
But Brown's outstanding season could offer Houston even bigger benefits thanks to MLB's Player Promotion Incentive (PPI). For those who are unaware, the PPI offers teams the opportunity to collect an additional draft pick based on how certain players perform during their first three seasons in the major leagues.
