Astros Pitching Puzzle: Can Valdez and Brown Deliver Consistent Dominance in 2025?
Posted: Tue Feb 25, 2025 6:21 pm
As we gear up for the 2025 fantasy baseball season, the Houston Astros' pitching rotation is generating a lot of buzz, particularly around Framber Valdez and Hunter Brown. Valdez's second half of 2024 was nothing short of spectacular, but can we trust that he’s turned a corner with his curveball? Or is he more likely to revert to the inconsistent form we saw earlier in the season?
On the other hand, Hunter Brown had a rollercoaster year, starting off shaky but finishing strong. His ability to mix pitches is intriguing, but does he have a true out pitch that can sustain his success? With a deep arsenal but no standout offering, can he replicate his impressive strikeout rate, or are we looking at a regression?
And let’s not forget about Ronel Blanco, who had a breakout year but is now facing the pressure of expectations. Can he maintain his early-season dominance, or will he fall victim to the dreaded sophomore slump?
What are your thoughts on these pitchers? Are you willing to take a chance on Valdez despite his volatility? Do you see Brown as a potential breakout star, or is he too risky for your roster? And what about Blanco—can he be a reliable option in the later rounds of your draft?
