With the recent news of Brendan Rodgers making the Astros' roster despite a lackluster Spring Training performance, it raises some intriguing questions about the nature of player development and the impact of environment on performance. Rodgers, a former third overall pick, has shown flashes of potential but has struggled to find consistency, particularly outside of Coors Field.
What do you think the Astros are hoping to achieve by bringing him on board? Is it a gamble on his potential to thrive in a new environment, or are they simply looking for depth at second base? Given his past Gold Glove recognition, could he be a hidden gem waiting to be unlocked, or is he more likely to be a liability in the lineup?
Additionally, with the Astros' decision to use Jose Altuve primarily in left field, how do you see this affecting the team's overall dynamics? Will this shift create more opportunities for Rodgers, or could it lead to a crowded outfield situation that complicates things further?
On another note, the news of Jordan Montgomery undergoing Tommy John surgery is a stark reminder of the fragility of pitching careers. How do you think this will impact the Cardinals' rotation moving forward? Are they equipped to handle this loss, or should we expect them to make a move before the trade deadline?
Let's dive into these topics! What are your thoughts on Rodgers' potential with the Astros, and how do you see the Montgomery situation unfolding?
