Some of the difference in K rate was the players they brought in. Chris Carter and Luis Valbuena started for the 15 team and were both huge K guys. They moved away from those types of players.
But yeah, that probably wasn’t all of it. Man. What a tough look for the Astros and the whole front office.
The unfortunate thing is my favorite prospect guy - Kevin Goldstein - who worked for them got burned today. He’s the exec behind the emails asking the scouts to videotape opposing dugouts for sign stealing.
