The Houston Astros finished up Spring Training with most of the few kinks they had worked out and they’re ready to start the 162-game marathon — not sprint — toward defending their title. They have an excellent chance to do so and it’ll be the first time in nearly two decades a team has won a back-to-back title.
It’s so hard to repeat in Major League Baseball but if any team can, it’s this one. They’re stacked at just about every position possible and they still have a plethora talent that had to be sent back to the farm because of the glut of talent that’s on the roster.
