Dusty Baker addressed the challenge his club faces just days out from opening day. He also touched on getting back Yordan Alvarez, who was dealing with a hand issue.
We are now less than three days away from the first pitch for the World Champion Houston Astros.Astros manager Dusty Baker believes Yordan Alvarez will be ready for Opening Day on Thursday against the White Sox.
Just don't ask Dusty how his slugger and World Series hero was able to find his swing and be "game ready" after playing in his first exhibition game last Thursday. "I really don't know. His approach is simple. He must be of superior physical skills and also mental skills. I haven't seen anybody do this but Dick Allen or Benito Santiago," Baker said on Monday., and it looks like he'll defy the odds and make it happen.
Eyewitness Sports also asked Baker about filling the void at second base while 2017 MVP Jose Altuve recovers from surgery for his fractured finger."We're still in the process on what we need," he said, with Mauricio Dubon and David Hensley as options."It's gonna be a mix and match. There's no one answer," he said. "You miss speed. You miss the offense. You miss the defense. It's not an easy task.
"It's gonna be a dream come true. I've been envisioning winning a World Series ever since I can remember," Hensley said.
