On Friday, November 2, 2012, the Houston Astros began their long journey into a new division and league with the hopes of turning around what has been a beaten and broken baseball club. With this new move to the AL West, the Astros are going to change everything up the best way possible and that starts with the swanky new uniforms they showcased Friday at the launch party inside Minute Maid Park in downtown Houston. Orange and Blue are back and they represent the rebirth of the Astros and the move to the new division.
There is a new excitement in Houston and this is just the start of bigger things to come in the Space City. Free agency is about to be in full swing and there are some good players that are affordable and could provide good value for a team rebuilding and waiting for the young guns to move up the ladder. Hopefully we can see the emergence of Jonathan Singleton into the Astros major league roster this season. He can finally be the future first baseman that we have been waiting for since Bagwell's shoulder died. Also with exciting guys like Altuve and Justin Maxwell lead this team on offense/defense and the surprising Lucas Harrell on the mound. Its gonna be an exciting time leading up to April 2nd when our new rival Rangers roll in to MMP where the Astros will most likely looking to upset. We'll see what the next few months bring.
Also thought that a possible Lance Berkman return to Houston would be pretty good for the city as well. Bringing back an outstanding team guy like Berkman to the place where he tore it up for years will be good for this extremely young team looking for emergence. He would also provide a great bat in the DH if he can hit like the world series year where he cranked 31 homers and 94 rbi's and .301 the Astros would be extremely better. If the knee is good i say it's a win-win because we could save some dollars and he gets to play in Houston again where he also resides in the offseason.
Any thoughts from anyone on the uniforms?
