Houston Astros: Rookies Turn to Sophomores (MLB2K12 360) Dynasty

After a dismal 2011 season, the Houston Astros are back for the 2012 season, and again look to be the youngest team in the league. After finishing the season 56-106, the expectations aren't very high for the 2012 season, but this young group of guys, looks to quiet all the talk and put together a nice campaign. The Astros look to be led by a group of young offensive guys consisting of J.D. Martinez, Jose Altuve, and newcomer Jed Lowrie. They are also led by veterans on the mound with Brett Myers and Wandy Rodriguez. While some media writers have considered this to be basically a AAA team playing at the major league level, the Astros have other plans as they have come into this year with the motto of "Shock The World." With the new owner, Jim Crane, along with new GM, Jeff Luhnow, they look to help improve on a dismal season. It should be an interesting season down in the space city as they hope to turn the corner.
