Just like that, my Astros are the best team in baseball

You guys have a solid foundation
and the division your joining will be completely different in five years.
The angels still have no pitching behind weaver. Hamilton will be 35, Pujols will be gone, Trout... well trout will probably be one of, if not the best player in the game.
The rangers added older pieces to replace Hamilton in Berkman and Pyrzenski (not gonna try to look that up) and I can really see them trending downward in the next couple of years. Not drastically, but they're no longer biggest rooster in the hen house.
Who knows about the A's- right now they have the best pitching staff that no one knows about in baseball, but the way Billy Bean does things if they get too good for too long they'll blow it all up.
Seattle is in a similar situation with you guys, a lot of good young pieces to build around in Seager, Montero, Ackley, Zunino, Saunders, Hultzen, with the added advantage of having King felix locked up.
The astros have a lot of potential out there with J.D. Martinez, Justin Maxwell (if you didn't know about him, last night was a pretty good eye opener) Jose Altuve, and a couple of other guys. Not really too keen on the pitching situation, and I don't really know what the prospects look like there. I think with yall, long term success is going to be reliant on the prospects you have now panning out and ownership deciding to open up the wallet to add some bigger names.
You won't lose 100 this year, probably 90-95.
