The organization looks a lot deeper at all minor league levels but the big league team on opening day won't be a big improvement over last year's club. I guess Fowler is a step up and maybe Feldman is better than Bud Norris but avoiding another 100 loss season is going to take some work.

(03/26/14) Outfielder Robbie Grossman has used his penchant for a high on-base percentage to land the second spot in the Astros lineup. Jose Altuve had been slated for that spot heading into spring training, but he will bat cleanup behind catcher Jason Castro.

swap altuve and grossman if you think they have roughly equal OBA. carter's career OBA is ugly (.315) but is really only about 20 points less than either grossman or altuve. castro's isn't much better, but if you exclude his awful 2010 it's quite a bit better..."Instead of all of this energy and effort directed at the war to end drugs, how about a little attention to drugs which will end war?"

They actually have 2 solid OBP guys in Grossman and Fowler, and then I guess Castro is their best hitter. After that you might as well go 4-9 in descending order and maybe Altuve is the best guy left. Altuve is probably not as well suited for the 1-2 holes given his lower OBP. It's actually a smart decision, it just seems funny.
It's sort of the way I usually set up my sim teams. Once you run out of good OBP guys, you can use a high AVG, low walk guy who isn't going to pass the buck to your crappy hitters by taking a walk.
