Looking back through the history of the Houston Astros, there are plenty of talented and productive hitters who’ve come through. But surprisingly, for the most part, it was fairly easy to decide how to construct the franchise’s all-time best lineup.
There’s no shortage of power here, as everyone in this lineup has compiled at least three seasons of 20 or more homers in Houston. There’s plenty of speed at the top, plenty of guys who hit for average and get on base, and plenty of strong defenders. If you could get this lineup together for just one game, I’d shudder to think what would happen to opposing pitching.
