The Greatest Houston Astros Players in the Last 50 Years

I am continuing my list for the greatest players at each position for every team in the last 50 years for each team. Today’s team is the Houston Astros.
The criteria are as follows:
- Player must have played a full 5 seasons for the team.
-1 player will be selected for each position, 1 right handed starting pitcher, 1 left handed starting pitcher, and 1 relief pitcher. I will include a DH for both leagues (considering interleague play now).
 Below is my list of greatest players by position for the Astros in the last 50 years (since the 1970 season).
First Base- Jeff Bagwell
Second Base- Jose Altuve            
Shortstop-   Carlos Correa
Third Base-   Morgan Ensberg
Left Field-    Jose Cruz
Centerfield-   Cesar Cedeno
Right Field- George Springer
Catcher- Craig Biggio
Designated Hitter-   Lance Berkman
Right-Handed starting pitcher- Roy Oswalt
Left-Handed starting pitcher- Dallas Keuchel      
Relief pitcher- Billy Wagner

A couple of notes. Craig Biggio played 3 positions, catcher, second base, and centerfield. The Hall of Famer was the best fit at catcher. Carlos Correa only has played 5 years, but is already the best shortstop the Astros have ever had. The other options were Adam Everett, Dickie Thon, or Craig Reynolds. There were not many great options at third base. Ensberg was the best of a group that included Doug Radar and Enos Cabell. Alex Bregman has only played 4 seasons but will take over at third once he meets the 5-year criteria. The Astros have had some terrific right-handed starting pitchers to choose from.  JR Richard, Nolan Ryan, Mike Scott, Joe Niekro and Larry Dierker were some pitchers who were considered. I picked Oswalt due to his long-time consistency and being the Astros best post season pitcher.

Next up is the Oakland A’s.
