Every team at one point or another have players that are struggling. It’s just the nature of the beast known as baseball. Oh look, the Astros have a few struggling players. How not surprising!

If you recall, I had a post detailing three Astros who had gotten off to praiseworthy starts to begin the 2017 season. One was Dallas Keuchel. Another was George Springer. But the most impressive example, in my eyes, was Chris Devenski.

It’s no secret that those three players have been quite good. But for every one of them, I bet there is an Astro who hasn’t gotten off to a glorious start. And I know exactly the three players that we can discuss.
