At first glance, the Astros do not necessarily have a starting rotation problem for next season. There is quality depth on the major league roster while a few prospects are starting to knock on the door. And the team just won a World Series!
Yet, there could be cracks in the foundation.
For example, Dallas Keuchel has made Scott Boras his agent the season before free agency. Translation: the bearded southpaw wants to get paid. The Astros just may not be the team to pay him one year from now. Justin Verlander is under contract for just two more seasons.
