Jake Meyers' Struggles Continue

The Trade Deadline is firmly in the rearview mirror, and the Astros were able to address a few concerns, namely beefing up the lineup (Trey Mancini) and fortifying the catcher position (Christian Vázquez). While these acquisitions were not considered a big splash, Mancini and Vázquez raised the floor of an already promising roster. But James Click didn’t address every position of need, with center field likely representing the weakest link on the active roster. But with the trade of Jose Siri to the Rays as part of the Mancini acquisition, Click gave Jake Meyers a vote of confidence for the second season in a row.
