    A few small pieces and they are big time next year

    Obviously the magazine isn’t actually declaring the Astros the 2017 World Series champs, just making an audacious point about a perennially bottom-dwelling club that is, by almost all accounts, moving in the right direction.


    Astros’ GM Jeff Luhnow is widely credited for an incredible run of player development in his role as a St. Louis Cardinals vice president from 2003 to 2010. The Cardinals won World Series in 2006 and 2011 and have reached the postseason in four of the past five seasons behind an excellent crop of homegrown talent largely drafted and developed in Luhnow’s tenure.

    Since joining the Astros, Luhnow has made a series of innovative front-office hires and fostered a farm system now considered one of MLB’s very best. Again: The magazine’s claim may sound crazy, but it’s not hopelessly optimistic.

    Still, despite all those efforts, the Astros sit in last place in the American League West, a division that features a couple of typically well-run franchises in the Oakland A’s and Texas Rangers and a couple that have shown deep pockets in the Los Angeles Angels and the Seattle Mariners.

    And the heroics of coverboy George Springer aside, most of the Astros’ ballyhooed prospects remain only prospects. Of the players currently on their roster that are under team control through 2017, only Jose Altuve has really established himself as a good Major League player. Springer has been great for his 225 at-bats, and starters Dallas Keuchel, Jarred Cosart and Collin McHugh have all had success this season.

    Even if all those guys maintain their success, that’s five pieces of a 25-man roster.

    There’s no doubt that shrewd drafting and player development is the safest way to create a sustainable winner in the Majors. But the Kansas City Royals frequently received the same type of praise the Astros now get just a few years ago, and most of the players involved just didn’t become superstars.

    The public burying is uncanny. What was it, 2-3 threads for a play on Houston today? I had the Mariners since late last night and would have played them regardless, but this thing were plays that have multiple threads about them lose is getting scary, lol.

    Typically if he has a huge play with no logic to it he loses.
