I am really excited to see a full year of Jake Marisnick.
Steve Adams
He’s a lot of fun to watch in center field. I remember going out of my way to watch a few Jose Fernandez starts last year (because Jose Fernandez) and being amazed at how gifted he looked in center.
Some people loved that trade for the Marlins, but I liked Houston’s end better, largely because of Marisnick.
Trent Golden
He looks awesome on defense. The real question is whether he’ll ever learn to get on base or not.

I doubt Keuchel puts up another 5 WAR season. Same with McHugh and his 4 WAR.
Kennon Riley
I would bet on McHugh to do better.
I suppose some of his pitches call for regression, but he really excelled after his blister healed. His curveball has one of the highest spin rates in MLB behind King Felix.

They might not put up as high a WAR, but I don’t see a lot of regression. Both of those pitchers are great at mixing their pitches with high success in deception when the ball leaves their hands.

The biggest offensive pickup these guys can make is for Singleton to pick up his game. I hope that he makes the adjustments he needs during the offseason, because he can look pretty good when he’s right. If he figures it out next year, that’s the protection that Carter and Springer need in the lineup. Also, it might be time to see what Stassi can do full-time.
Andrew van Laar
Holy strikouts Singleton and Springer! If they each played a full 162 games, they would easily be top 10 all time in strikeouts.
Puig Power
I predict they grab Tomas. There’s going to be a whole lot of runs scored at Minute Maid next year

One other “upside” for the Astros going into this offseason is the expiration of their obligation to kick in $5.5 mil a year towards Wandy Rodriguez’ time with the Pirates.
Not really a free agent departure, but it will be another $5.5 mil coming off the books that they can utilize elsewhere – FYI
Trent Golden
I still don’t think many people realize how good a healthy, seasoned George Springer can be…he looks an awful lot like Beltran in his prime

if the Astros non-tender Anthony BASS the FISH better sign him at least to a minor league deal.
