Wanted to rebuild the Astros but didn't want to make too many moves.
I'm pretty happy with the way the team is looking right now, but it still might be a while before they're successful. I'm liking the idea of working with younger guys like J.D. Martinez and Shuck to see how they progress.
I didn't want to change too much to the team, as I do in other franchises, so like I said, it might take awhile.
Right now, this is how we're looking:

Houston Astros Depth Chart - 2011

Catcher
Wilson Ramos
George Kottaras

First Base
Brett Wallace
Kila Ka aihue
George Kottaras

Second Base
Jose Altuve
Mike Aviles
Jimmy Paredes
Jason Bourgeois

Third Base
Mike Moustakas
Mike Aviles
Jimmy Paredes

Shortstop
Zack Cozart
Mike Aviles
Jimmy Paredes

Left Field
J.D. Martinez
Jason Bourgeois

Center Field
Jordan Schafer
Jason Bourgeois

Right Field
J.B. Shuck
Jason Bourgeois

Starting Pitcher
Ian Kennedy
Gio Gonzalez
Jordan Lyles
Henderson Alvarez
Bud Norris

Relief Pitcher
Mark Melancon (SU)
Sam Demel (MR)
Jensen Lewis (MR)
David Carpenter (MR)
Tyler Walker (MR)
Aneury Rodriguez (LR)

Closer
Sergio Romo (CL)

They still might need some work, and I'm not sure if I want all of those guys or if I want to get better players.
I think I'm going to give this team a year and see how it goes.
The bullpen and outfield is the most questionable at the moment IMO. I also am not sure if I should start Altuve or Aviles at 2B.

One last thing I'm not sure about is the lineup.

Right now I have it as this vs RHP:
CF Jordan Schafer (60 con., 47 pow., 86 spd.)
2B Jose Altuve (60 con., 40 pow., 75 spd.)
SS Zack Cozart (60 con., 70 pow., 82 spd.)
3B Mike Moustakas (75 con., 80 pwr., 65 spd.)
1B Brett Wallace (80 con., 65 pow., 55 spd.)
C Wilson Ramos (72 con., 57 pow., 78 spd.)
LF J.D. Martinez (56 con., 60 pow., 72 spd.)
RF J.B. Shuck (56 con., 58 pow., 84 spd.)
P

You know already who is on my bench, here are their stats vs RHP:
IF Jimmy Paredes (62 con., 40 pow., 85 spd.)
OF/2B Jason Bourgeois (55 con., 47 pow., 83 spd.)
1B Kila Ka'ahiue (50 con., 75 pow., 70 spd.)
C George Kottaras (50 con., 66 pow., 66 spd.)
IF Mike Aviles (70 con., 53 pow., 80 spd.)

Thoughts? Suggestions?
