That is what has been so impressive about the Houston Astros though. They have enough talent in their farm that, of their 25 man roster, 8 players on the current roster were called up in 2016 or later. That’s not counting the fact that Michael Feliz is disqualified from that category since he pitched 8 innings in 2015 and Jandel Gustave has been up but is injured.
This strength in the farm was supposed to be where we dealt from to solidify our rotation and bullpen. Instead it has now become a life preserver, keeping the team afloat during the rockiest of seas.
