You just know nothing will line up properly. Pitching will be lights out and the bats cold. Or the other way around
This would be great news for the team. Brown inherited a decimated farm and suffered through a season with the most injuries in major league history. He also has to work around Altuve’s untouchable stature (earned). I hope he is given several more years to re-build on the fly and ramp back up our minor leagues. I’ve been impressed with him so far.
If he has bad bats next to him in left and right, he's still perfectly fine, but the Astros have bad bats in left and right.
Javier's arm was likely never good enough to be a 6-inning pitcher. I loved Javier, but he was lucky to get 2 times through the order before he got hurt. Dusty got every pitch he could out of Javier in every start and then had him throw 15-30 more.
