The Astros might not have traded Colin Moran if he had his full opportunity last season

Posted Feb 25, 2018
Colin Moran was supposed to be up for a month. Alex Bregman would play some shortstop for the Houston Astros and third base would have an opening. His chance lasted two games. He fouled a ball off his face and did not return until late September. “Had he been given that opportunity, I think he would have hit .300,” Astros general manager Jeff Luhnow said.
