Put me on record as content with standing pat.

Standing pat wouldn’t be a disaster but tough questions need to be asked and evaluated.
1. Would the Astros win a 7 game series right now against Boston, New York, Cleveland or Oakland/Seattle?
2. Is this bullpen, as currently constructed, good enough to shut down those lineups above, especially Boston or New York, in the late innings of a playoff game?
3. While our starting pitching is the best of the bunch, are our bats, as currently constructed, good enough to put runs on the board against the above teams when you won’t be facing anything but their 1 and 2 starters and perhaps their 3 only once in a series?
The answer to all of those questions may be yes. But you can expect all of those teams to make moves to better themselves prior to the deadline. Astros need to do the same if it makes sense. I trust Jeff either way.
