With the Houston Astros traveling to Mexico City to play a two-game series down there, the Opening Day lineup is starting to take shape. While certain players are locked in, the final few positions are starting to reveal themselves through player performances and transactions.

The only thing that I am not certain about is the backup catcher, and there is some thought that there will be a player added before they go to Houston, but for the sake of this post I will choose the candidate that I think fits the role the best.

With nine days left before the Astros face the New York Yankees, I figured that today would be a good to set my Astros 25-man roster before too many more moves are made. Below you will find my Huysman locks for the players who will be on the Astros Opening Day roster. Keep in mind that Evan Gattis and Lance McCullers will be on the disabled list to start the season, so the roster will often change early in the season.
