TCB All-Time Astros Dream Team Draft

Five writers. One draft. Seventy-five of the greatest players in Astros franchise history.

Contributors: Crawfish Boxes Staff

The concept was simple. Five writers (Bilbos, Hebrew Hammah, Cody Poage, Theo Gerome, and mhatter106) held a draft of all players to have played for 2 full seasons for the Houston Astros, with the goal of creating a team of Astros that could defeat the other four.

Collected below are the posts and articles detailing

Draft results
