2023 Projection - Michael Brantley

The question mark

Uncle Mike comes into the season as a question mark in a couple of different ways. 

First, will he be ready for opening day, and secondly to our purpose here, how much will he be able to contribute whenever he’s ready?

I’m guessing no on the first one, perhaps temporarily opening a roster spot for a younger player, and projecting mediocre success for the season.

The bigger question for me is what the Astros look like in center and left long term.

Is Chas the answer in center, or is he better suited for left long term and the Astros go in another direction in center?

We’ll take the weekend off, but up next on Monday is Alex Bregman.
