Baseball statistics in mid-April usually do not mean much in the grand scheme of things. But this fact doesn’t mean that we can’t discuss which Astros are having notable starts to the season.

There are a handful of Astros playing well. Some aren’t playing quite as well. And others are just downright miserable to watch.

To their detriment or not, the small sample size plays into the equation. There are a handful of Astros that will have better stats this time next month than today. The opposite is true of others. But that still doesn’t make their contributions today any less notable or disappointing.
