The Texans suffered a painful loss to the Colts on Saturday which highlighted a lot of the issues the team has dealt with all season. On the bright side, the Texans have a lot of cap space to sign free agents, and they have 3 draft picks in the first two rounds. Unfortunately, the Colts have a ton of cap space as well and look to be a legit threat to the Texans for years to come.
In this episode, we break down the decision to bring rookie Cam Smith up to the Houston Astros big league roster — just 96 plate appearances into his major league journey.
Was it the right call, or a move made out of desperation due to the early-season outfield situation? We dive into the context of the Kyle Tucker trade, the uncertainty surrounding the outfield to start the year, and whether Cam Smith was truly ready — or if the Astros may have rushed a top prospect before he was fully developed.
