Should we re-sign Brantley?

Uncle Mike has become a beloved player for the Astros. Originally signed away from the Indians on a 2-year, $33-Million dollar player - Brantley came heralded as a capable star player who struggled to stay healthy consistently after playing 101 games across his 2016-17 seasons.

The ever calm Brantley has shown himself to be well worth every penny of that contract to date, with a .310/.372/.504 triple slash line during his time in an Astros uniform. His production earned him an All-Star nod, and the 148 games played last year put some of the durability questions to rest.
