Our 2014 Astros




Lets play GM and build our team for 2014. Lets start with some trades. We deal Harrell, Pena, Cedeno, Maxwell, and Veras for some young talent to replace the players that we are going to bring up. We can also trade either Paredes or Carter.

During spring training we can pick a starting rotation from what we already have. Lets pick from Cosart, Buchanan, Wojo, Folty, Keuchel, Lyles, Nitro, Peacock, Doran, Owens, and so on. They have plenty to choose from.

In the bullpen, lets try either Norris or Clemens as the closer and the other as the setup man. We can also have Zeid, Chapman, Stoffel, Cisnero, and Valdez in the pen.

Now the lineup:

LF Grossman

2nd Altuve

CF Springer

1st Singleton

DH Paredes or Carter or JD Martinez depending on who we trade and who we keep

C Castro

RF Krauss or Santana

3rd Dominguez

SS Villar

Bench:

Brandon Barnes

Marwin Gonzalez

Carlos Perez

That's a start guys. I see something like this happening and I feel it should be done. It is time for the kids to get out there and see what they got. I suspect that Cosart, Krauss, Villar, Singleton, and Springer will be called up later this year to get it started.
