Astros Musings: Roster Flexibility Will Be Key
Baseball has been embracing roster flexibility for quite some time. The Astros are now getting in on the act.
Out of all the potential issues that could plague the Astros this year, position depth shouldn’t be one of them. In fact, it should be a strength for this club.
Between the likes of Marwin Gonzalez, Yulieski Gurriel, Alex Bregman, Nori Aoki, Jake Marisnick, and possibly Tony Kemp, there isn’t a lack of options at numerous positions. First base, for example, illustrates as much. While manager A.J. Hinch may not have an everyday option for the position, he can choose between Gonzalez and Gurriel most days. Even Brian McCann can be an option.
