4 years agoHouston Astros pitching coach Brent Strom said that the team could pull their starting pitchers out of games "a hair sooner" than usual in 2021, according to Jake Kaplan of The Athletic. Strom attributed this to the increased workload the starters will be facing this year, while adding that the performance of the bullpen will be crucial for Houston this season. In the grand scheme of things, this news likely shouldn't affect the value of Houston's rotation, but it could cost them a few points here or there throughout the season, and in QS formats this could be a significant ding in value.--Michael Grennell - RotoBaller
