Houston Astros Tickets

The Houston Astros are not promising a trip to the World Series in 2013. They, however, are hoping the much improved farm system has finally yielded some MLB-ready talent and they are asking the fans to give them time to show why management has promoted them. This is quite a hope, as enough of those prospects have already been moved up before they were ready. Houston Astros tickets to Minute Maid Park will be available to see if these players can begin producing in the big leagues.

The front office may have made a concerted effort to rebuild the roster by using the farm system, but they did manage to sign a couple players to help this young group as they come of age. The newly acquired veteran likely to make the biggest impact is Carlos Pena. The free swinging lefty power hitter is probably going to play first base, though he will be in and out of the lineup as a DH as well.

This is the Houston Astros first season in the American League and it is their first season having to seriously worry about adding a ninth hitter. This means Brett Wallace and Chris Carter will both have a place in the batting order. Rumors have Carter playing the role of defensive liability in left field and Wallace playing DH.

Carter is not a great outfielder, but he has been a great hitter in his in limited number of plate appearances. He has hit for power and managed to post a very good OBP despite his penchant for striking out. Wallace has struggled in his three seasons in the MLB, but supposedly he can hit for power. If Pena, Wallace, and Carter are able to hit to their potential, then second baseman Jose Altuve will have some company and give the Astros offense some real oomph.

Houston Astros History

The Houston Astros were added to the MLB back in 1962. They were part of the westward expansion of the league. In previous decades professional baseball did not go farther west than St. Louis. A few teams relocated, but many more were added as expansion teams. This includes the Astros.

As an expansion team in a time before free agency, the club was bound to struggle. They competed to finish in any place but last for the first seven years in the NL and more often than not they failed. The team changed its momentum in the 1970s. Suddenly players like Cesar Cedeno, Lee May, and Jimmy Wynn made the team a power hitting club. Eventually the front office made some adjustments and the club became a pitching powerhouse. Joe Niekro developed a knuckleball and Nolan Ryan had an unhittable fast ball.

Still, the Houston Astros did not become a contender until the early 1980s. Joe Morgan returned to play second base and the starting rotation added J.R. Richard. The club went to the playoffs three times in seven seasons, but never advanced beyond the first round.

The Astros’ most dominant era began a decade later after the addition of Craig Biggio and Jeff Bagwell. With these two as centerpieces, the baseball team played in the postseason six times from the 1995 to 2005. This included one trip to the World Series, which they lost in four straight to the Chicago White Sox. The team is busy rebuilding through the farm system, hoping to build a roster to take advantage of the hitter-friendly measurements of Minute Maid Park.

They will be doing so as the newest team to play in the American League. The team was moved in an effort to make sure each division had five teams. Previously, the Astros were one of six teams in the NL Central. The move to the AL West (which had previously only had four teams) sets up a new rivalry, one with the Texas Rangers from the Dallas area.
