New Big Trains for Union Station
COMING SOON!
ALEX BREGMAN AND YULIE GURRIEL!

With Yulie Gurriel now in the fold we all know high certainty that he and super-prospect Alex Bregman will both join the Houston Astros starting lineup by August, if not sooner. The following suggestions are little more than our box score visualizations of three possible new lineups we may see soon on the Internet screen and sports pages of the Houston Chronicle. Let us know what you think  of these – or of what other lineups you would propose to Manager A.J. Hinch.

Three Possible Houston Astros August 2016 Lineup:

Lineup One

1. George Springer, RF
2. Alex Bregman, LF
3. Jose Altuve, 2B
4. Carlos Correa, SS
5. Yulie Gurriel, 3B
6. Evan Gattis, DH
7. Luis Valbuena, 1B
8. Carlos Gomez, CF
9. Jason Castro, C

Lineup Two

1. Jose Altuve, 2B
2. Alex Bregman, 3B

Lineup Three

1. George Springer, RF
2. Jose Altuve, 2B

Which do you like better? Or what do you propose as the best use of these two new additions as a lineup for the “tuned-up” (we hope) 2016 August Astros?

Please post your comment.
