Late last week, Michael Brantley announced his retirement. He probably could have played at the age of 37, but he decided it was time to spend more time with his family. During his 5 year tenure with the Astros, Brantley was one of the most respected and popular Astros. Teammates and fans loved what he brought to the game. Now we can look back at his career with the Astros...and also look at who might take his role in the future.
Many labels can be placed on Brantley. A “pro’s pro.” The professional hitter with a sweet lefthanded swing.
