Astros executives Jeff Luhnow and Reid Ryan on the decision to remove Tal’s Hill from center field at Minute Maid Park:
General manager Jeff Luhnow:
“I think there’s been a lot of thought and planning that’s gone into it that’s very careful consideration. Any changes that are made will be certainly keeping the baseball players and the staff and the team in mind. We have a field right now that hitters like to come to. And pitchers like to come to. To the extent that we can maintain this as an attractive place for players to play, which is my primary goal, and also maintain the safety of the players when they’re playing, that satisfies our requirements, and I believe both of those will be met with any changes that are forthcoming.
