30 MLB Storylines to Watch for All 30 Teams

Houston Astros – Will a lineup filled with high strikeout players do enough to overshadow the whiffs? Can a lineup that contains Chris Carter (37 home runs, 187 strikeouts), Colby Rasmus (18 home runs, 124 strikeouts), Evan Gattis (22 home runs, 97 strikeouts) and Jason Castro (15 home runs, 151 strikeouts) work around those and hit consistently? Is this the year that an improved bullpen and lineup combines with more minor league talent for a run at .500?
