With regard to the Astros farm system, we are told over and over again how depleted it is and how it's easily in the bottom quarter of all mlb farm systems …
And yet… we keep bringing players up that are effective enough to keep us competitive…. Especially on the pitching front. Couple that with Sugarland being one of the 2 best Aaa teams . I have basically stopped listening to all the crying about the state of the Astros farm system.
Feels like the Astros have their own system of getting things done like the patriots did with Belichick and Brady. As much as I might get annoyed by it this team does not show much emotion when they're down or super excited when they're rolling. They go about their business game in and game out. They plug in players left and right and they fall right in line of doing the same, leaders like Tuve, Breggy, and Pressley not freaking out when its going bad and they just respond with "its just baseball" thats the way it goes sometimes, helps out the young players a lot.
From the outside some of us freak out and give the organization crap, but at times it does feel like they know what they're doing. Could they have done things better of course, but hell despite all the injuries this year this team battles!
