Previous thread has not been bumped this season, even with the stros leading all baseball in Wins.
The starting pitching staff has outperformed all expectations thus far and the relief corps are as good as any. I doubt the starters stay on this level, but would not be the least bit surprised to see a mid-season to deadline deal for a SP stud or two, unless Devenski and/or Peacock can stretch out and keep their effectiveness. I think there is plenty of relief depth in the system, The ease with which Keuchel has returned to 2015 form makes me think he's for real. McCullers is just nasty. Musgrove is still a bit erratic (last outing gives up 4 runs in the first, then no-hits the next 18 batters). Fiers and Morton are serviceable with the relief corps and battery behind them.
The bats are making the lineup relentless to opposing pitchers. The only weak spots are Marwin Gonzalez (who doesn't play much) and Reddick and Aoki's ineptitude vs. LHP. But with the depth and breadth of the roster, they seldom play against a lefthander.
