The Astros‘ pitchers and catchers report to West Palm Beach to begin Spring Training Feb. 13, and begin their workouts the following day. As it stands right now, only three of the five starters are set. Barring any moves by GM Jeff Luhnow to acquire support, Houston will be relying on one of their prospects, possibly two, to man the 4th and 5th rotation spots.
Thus far, Jeff Luhnow has spent this offseason utilizing a calm and conservative approach. He has made it clear that there are a few top prospects that are considered untouchable, in any trade talks.
