That's my concern as well. I just don't see the pitching staff being World Series level.

With Mccullers and Keuchel coming back from injury we should be good. Martes, D-Vo, and Musgroves are all going to push for a rotation spot. I wouldn't be against a 6 man rotation to start the year to give our guys more rest. Our bullpen is fine, we struggled with the closer spot last year but that is over. Hinch announced Giles is the closer, I think the reassurance will be good for him. His second half wasn't bad. Will Harris will likely be our 8th inning guy, but Gregerson could do that as well. Sipp will hopefully bounce back, look for Gustave to be in the bullpen down the stretch.

Got a chance to watch and do a little more 'research' on the old Cuban..
I still think hes 40+ .. , still don't think hes worth $40+M , but I do think...
IF he can stay healthy.. he'll be a asset. (yes I said it...)
I hope he can...
this was the peak year they've been building towards... wont get any better than this for this group. (most definitely wont be getting any cheaper...)
All the pieces are there (hopefully with some pitching additions to be named later)..
Go Stros!
